I don't have any on the exterior, but I do have some one off custom door inserts & headliner to match that are in tribal flames. They will be goin in soon & I will be posting it all in the Appearance section. I'm doin a total interior conversion from Tan to Black/Ebony/Silver.

I don't know much about this car (other than it has been wrecked & I think totalled), but it has tribal flames...

It's alright. Those actually look like a half and half of traditional and some sorta tribal. I never thought they flowed very well and were kinda uneven.

Here's a pic I found from someone that was in GMHightech. If I remember correctly it started it's life out as an LT1.
