Default Ghost Flames
Any member had Ghost Flames painted on their C7. Thinking of adding them to the hood of my C7. Looking for pics and info. Costly??
thanks
Fred

To have them done right, I would imagine that the cost will be high. Takes a real talent to get them looking good. As to the question of whether anyone has done it to their C7, perhaps it has happened, although I do not recall seeing a post about it being done. Heck, you could be the first.

I'd suggest you broaden your search beyond C7s and extrapolate from whatever you find. Perhaps, Photoshop can be your friend. Good luck.

You could take off the black stinger stripe then and do a pearl yellow flame from the vent back or just go for it and do the entire hood. It would be subtle but stunning. The other thing you could do... is have a ghost flame painted ON the stinger stripe. That would look great too and if you ever got tired of it, it's removeable! Just make sure you get a talented person to do ithe work. Talk around and ask to see pics of their flame work first.

I like your ideas. The pearl Yellow flames sounds great. Need to find a person who does it on Long Island.
Thanks again.
