Default Do you like the RPI hood liner with airbrushed flames?

So the question we debated all morning at the shop....do we just airbrush the flags logo...or do we add flames to the top. Well, we chose the flames option. What do you guys think?





Picture added 10-1-2013, for better comparison and easier voting...And without the flames:



Personally I like the flames, how about you?



Current count:

Logo only airbrushed by RPI: 4
Logo+ flames airbrushed by RPI: 2

I think it looks killer. Kind of a throwback to the hot rod days without it being in your face. Like Clark Kent when he rips off his shirt and that S on his chest shows. Hopefully you used VHT paint on that, but you guys did work!

Not for me, but I bet it'd be popular.

Thanks, on all airbrushed hood liners we've ever done (C5, C6, etc), we've always used paint to withstand the high heat..

Just some clarification for the members that are reporting this as a vendor thread, the General sections get much, much more traffic and these vendors have employees to pay and mouths to feed. We all like their products and they need traffic and business to stay around.

This particular thread has been reviewed and it does not specifically promote a product for sale, does not link to a product and it is somewhat obvious what it is in the thread title. If you aren't interested in a product idea from RPI or are not interested in viewing a vendor thread in general, you as a member always have the option of not clicking on the thread.

We are prone to giving some leeway to vendors who are gauging interest in potential products and the General section has far more traffic than the vendor sections at this point.

My vote is a yes for the flags, but no for the flames. I'd rather have a clean border like the hood emblem, the flames are a bit too over the top for me.

I love the flames and the logo. I will definitely consider buying it when i get my C7, especially since I've had good experiences from RPI in the past.
