:willy: Sorry, probably not the answer you are looking for . . . But, the car looks great except for the Flames and windshield graphics. Sometimes, less is more. :eek: We all like to mod our cars to suite out own taste and sometimes we go by trial & error. I'm thinking this is one of those times. Time to remove the error :thumbs:

I can understand if you wanted to clean up some damage from removing the BSMs from the car, but I guess you could have picked grey or silver flame decals, no?

Peel the one off the windshield,throw it away,and go with a black fade for the side,to cover up the color difference.

To be honest, after seeing your mods the first thing I did was to look at your username/avatar to see if you were female.

Cue the 'I'm with Stupid' response.

Did you buy the flames or were they made by a vinyl company? I would do either one of the following;

1. Put the BSM back on
2. Have a new set of the flames made in a more subdued color.

Ok, well you asked...

...those window decals and side flames are SOO fugly/cheesy. Eww. I'd take peeling paint and bondo any day over those flames.

Other than that, nice car!
