Ghost flames - opinions?
Just pondering here, so I thought I'd put on my flame suit and ask the CF.
I really like the look of ghost flames, but typically expect to see them in the same general color family as the body overall - ie. dark blue paint with lighter blue or silver flames.
My car is dark blue, but the interior and top are saddle. So the thought crossed my mind - how would gold ghost flames look? Part of me says if they are light enough they would look great, another part says - too much bling.
Flame suit on - any thoughts?

Here's a pic of my buddy's Camaro with ghost flames.
This was painted at a high school for their auto shop project for the school year.
I like ghost flames, but not on my red 95 vert.
Here's a link to some more pics of his car:

A guy in the club I belonged to in Utah was a custom painter and had some on his Vette. It was a black Vette and you couldn't see the flames until you walked up on the car and then they faded in and out as you walked around -- I thought it really looked sharp and made the car stand out.

I have a black/tan 93....I saw an identical car at a show that had chrome illusion ghost flames...absolutely incredible...one minute they were there, then they were gone...one minute purple then orange then red then blue...sounds funky but it was beautiful....they are on my list for sure...
