If YOU like it, it's cool. Kinda looks old school, like it.

I think that's a little radical but it's your car to do with as you please. Your car will definitely stand out in the crowd.

If I painted flames like that, I would not last a week. I would get so many tickets they would pull my license.

Nose flames look cool on old Hot Rods like '32 or '40 Fords and '55-'57 Chevys, but not on late Vettes. I think a nice fade down the side from the front fender vents might be slick.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......no.

ghost flames that are more subtle perhaps yes....but not those over the top flames all over the front end....but it IS your car -- if you like it -- in the end that's all that matters...

I could live with something more subtle - like some lesser "ghosted" form of these would be OK...if it were me.

Have you considered ghost flames? Maybe dark silver metalflake or dark gray?
