I'm a big flame guy. I have them on my Co. logo, my boat, my golf cart, but not the Vette.... yet. Your's look nice. What color are they? Gold? Good move going with the stickers.

Amazing, you are the first person that i have found that likes the same exact vehicles. My dream car is a black c5 coupe and my favorite truck is the chevy silverado SS. You wouldnt happen to have a lexus is300 for a sedan would you?

Sorry, no lexus, but the wife has a BMW. BTW, the SS has a Magnuson intercooled supercharger. I hate to say this, but it's alot more fun on freeway onramps then the vette.

also, some of you are seeing the color gold, but it is silver.

To be perfectly honest, when I first saw the word "decal," I was afraid to scroll down and take a look. But you know what? I think it looks pretty darned nice!

I almost offered something like this (different flamse for sure) in shade shifter vinyl but look lile people would prefer to paint the flames instead of vinyl ...
Look like I will offer some special fames which will come out from the front fender and from the side vents ... kindda 3D looking.
BTW, look nice on your car!

You got to be kidding with that Avatar? I can't stand that actor and his commercial. Unless of course that picture is of you, the actor?

However, I do like your wheels on the Vette. What manufacturer?
Flames are O.K., but maybe should be red/yellow on black? Silver, although nice, looks too blah.

I like the look a lot! I honestly thought it was going to be another tacky flame job... but to my suprise it wasn't. I like flames on cars... but they have to be done right... not just any old flames. I like the vette and matching silverado! Flames, but still subtle... nothing ricerish about it IMHO.

Those look horrible, what crack pipe were you hitting...oh Tommy, it's your car, yeah, we love them. Seriously, they look better in the picture than in person. They are growing on me a bit, oh wait, I had the contrast turned way down on the monitor and couldn't see them. See ya Saturday!

This guy's opinion doesn't count. Even his wife makes fun of him.

I like the look better on the vette than the truck. $250 for just the car, thats seems high but I could be off I guess since my friend owns the sign shop I use.
