Wait a minute - if its actual 3D resin, then it's over the top, and as others have said will kill resale. BUT there's no reason you couldn't get painted flames in that style - is there?
I really like the effect - best looking flames yet. But I'd want them painted on.

Who cares........"IF" you would loose any re-sale. IT'S A CAR, do with it what would make you happy.........You obviously aren't planning on selling it anytime soon. It's not a investment, if it were, you would never drive it and just keep it locked up in a bubble!!! I think that would be different, and would definatly get good comments and looks, expecially when they see it's not painted on/or stickers.
