I'm not a fan of the flames against the paint wheels, I think you're going to need chromes to pull that together. Have someone photo-chop the chromes on the car, but I gotta warn you - you'd better hide those seat covers before the photo-chopping begins.

I would lose the seat covers. They make seat covers that match the car. Guess I don't really understand the point of getting custom paint and then ruining it with those seat covers.

Also need to get some rims. While I am not a fan of chrome, with a flashy paint job like that you need flashy rims to match. The stock painted ones look terrible with that custom paint.

Some window tint would also help the look of the car as well.

Flames are ok . . . different. I would have been a little more dramatic. Lose the covers though.

Well, it's not that the car is flaming. He's probably married and his wife told him he had to put those covers on the seats if he wanted his n**s back.

The paint job looks good though.

This is his wife. The ghost flames look better in person, than in the pictures, but in all honesty, I prefer the car without them. But it is his money. About the seatcovers, that's the only thing I do like and he didn't ask my opinion. They do come off, you know. And we don't have a dog, just me. Have fun with this one. I have my flame suit on too.

When I first saw your car I thought, you must be retired. IMO flames don't belong on anything made after 1960. The C6 is a modern day sports car not a 50's hot rod.

Hey, but if you dig it that's really all that matters. I think when you're up there in age you should be cut a little slack.

I like the flames.
The solution for the seats is not to cover them, it's train the dog and or he stays home. Personally I love my dog but if she comes with me it's not in the vette.

If you don't have a dog who pissed on the seats,then I don't think it is a flame suit you need.Try depends or a diaper.

If you actually wanted your car to catch on fire, get a Lambo




If I ever get cranky about some road noise or cold day rear end chatter, then I apologize. My C6 is pretty hot, but not too hot.

You all forgot one style custom paint job, I am waiting to see its return.
LACE! I didn't like it when it was in style.
Flames can be tasteful though, to each his-her own.
