I can't believe you actually did it (thought you were happy with the mirror clean look)... I thought your car was d@mn sharp before you got 'em... but now it's got a very custom look. Really stands out.

Nice truck too...

On the C5, they look so so in my opinion. They look really good on the truck.

Personally, I like the "real" flames look.

This is the general idea: http://www.be-unique.com/airbrush/re...irbrushing.asp

I saw a show about airbrushing real flames, and the guys on there were amazing. I was trying to find their website, but came up short (the one above isn't it I don't think). Someone can probably post a link. They did a boat, helicopter, bunch of stuff.....

They look good from a distance, trouble is you can't get far enough away!

Ok, thank's everyone for thier opinions. I decided to remove the flames on the vette and gonna have another set made that will be more subtle. perhaps the width if the truck graphics. I'll post it as soon as it gets done.
