i like the flames, you need to know something about ghost flames to appreciate them......i also like the hood badge, some crafty work i must say.....i have a custom honda vtx cruiser, black with blue pearl flames....and like yours you really can't appreciate them until you get up on the car.....sometimes pics don't do them justice.....thats the whole purpose right!...... something subtle but bold.....just take a poll of how may people spot you driving the car then do a double take (or try to catch up to you) to see the flames that they did'nt see at first.

Sorry, since you asked, I gotta say "no."
The concept is great (tasteful body color ghost flames, very subtle...)
but the car just looks like it got a bad spray can once over in the driveway, after some sun-fading, like the first water-based Chevy trucks all did, losing paint in big strips.
I know a lot of effort and $$ went into it, and I applaud the originality, but as delivered, this one is a 'miss', IMHO.

But only you have to like it, it's your car.

Unfortunately, I think any ghost flames on silver will just end up looking a bunch of swirlmarks...IMHO. I definitely give an A+ for effort and making it your own. Here's a pic of a Pearl White C5 with ghost flames that I think came out nice:

I'll give a conditional ok. I have to ask: are these pictures exactly the way it looks to you?
I know that sometimes pics just can't duplicate how something looks in reality. I have this feeling that if I walked up to the car, it'd look good. But I need to know your answer to my question because to me, it doesn't look so good in the pics.
