Default Flamed my Vette?

Ok, I wantd to see what my Vette would look like with flames. So indstead of painting, I thought it would be good money spent to have someone design me decals to remove if I didn't like it. And if I did, then I would eventually paint them on. So, for about $250 this is what I got.
You won't offend me if you don't like 'em...

(spent another $250 to try out a set on my truck as well)

I like them too. In fact why bother having them painted unless the decals look really tacky up close?

Hi ItsFrench -

I like them - nice look - very unique.

I was toying with the idea of a red stripe on our black coupe - and I was thinking of having it done in vinyl for the same reasons you state.

Great minds think alike I see....

best regards -

Thanks for the kudos, Wow! Can't believe no one dislikes them yet. I have gotten a few "ricer" comments from some of my "buddies" that have vettes.

If any of you want a set PM me and I'll get you in touch with my guy. I told him that I didn't want any of the proceeds if other people wanted a set as long as it were only Vetters. He cannot sell them for any other car.
