    I would go less dramatic and go with ghost flames. If you’re painting it yourself all you need is some pearls and inter-coat clear. Ghost flames are easy to do and they don’t stand out as much.

    I had a truck with gost flames once but never done any thing this dramatic. I touhgh about doing a temp paint job like this to see if i like it since Im going to repaint the hole car and if i dont no los it can come off when the rest of the car gets done. I even tohught I may try the real flame look like this.

    I would say if your car has the balls to back it up, then go for it. Plus, Hotwheels just came out with a 1:64 car that looks just like it.

    No it’s not a fast GN. But then again T-Buick drivers have different idea when it comes to being fast compared to most.

    I had ghost flames on a truck and was just thinking something I’ve never done before. It funny when a T-Buick guy says it needs the cojones to back it up T-Buick guys have a warped sense of what a fast street car is before any other group from f-bodys to ricers would thing a anything in the 12s is fast even a stock T-Buick running 13s is fast to most street cars but in the T-Buick world you have to have a low 11 high 10 second car to be fast. So I’ve given up on being fast now I just try to look the part I find 90% of the time the GN reputation wins the race for me any way.

    Around here, that would just be more unwanted attention from cops, even if it only runs 18's. I personally wouldn't do it, but I like my cars a little less noticable in the graphics dept. :)

    Cops around here would leve me alone they may stop and talk but they wouldnt give me any trouble they have the ricers and mustang crowed keeping them busy. plus My wife works for the county EMS so every one knows the car around here.
