Default New paint job with flames

I'm thinking about adding some ghost flames over the winter. I want to stay with the black base color. Does anyone have any pics of added flames. I need some ideas to show the boss.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I have some flames on my truck....however they are anything but ghost! I like those flames someone has under their hood.

I wonder if that is a decal?

There at least used to be a number of C5's on here that had ghost flames. Haven't seen too many of them lately. What ones I saw did look good on the car.

These are my ghost flames. The guy that did them also did a black mustang and those were even more subtle than mine which show up because of the torch red color.
