    I need some serious opinions on this

    I had this done the other day and the work is excellent, BUT i dont know if i should have went black flames instead of blue considering the car is all blk, silv. and chrome. Or should i just add black highlights to the blue. I also have blue LEDs in the engine bay and they clash with the blue flames to where they are almost invisible, should i use white LEDs, i don't know. So please give me some opinions on which way to go here...

    Turned out great but I think some subtle black highlights is the way to go.
    edit... and the door moldings? Begging to be ripped off..02

    Stock catback, and stock drivetrain

    I'm leaning more towards black with blue highlights, that way i could still keep my blue LEDs

    White LEDs sounds good, to light up the artwork

    And yes, some black / dark gray highlights ....


    Is that the RKSport front facia ?

    I'd switch to black tubing ... the blue is a little too much

    Or maybe silver ? To blend in ?

    I'd think a few highlights would be what you need...maybe some black and another color, gray or white maybe. Needs a touch of depth of you want to make it pop more

    I like the Blue flames, that's what I have! I don't think any hi-lites are needed. I would however change the tubing to gray as I think it detracts from a great paint job. JMHO!

    IMO-and since i air brush and do hand painted striping i would add gun metal powder gray to it to give it a 3d affect

    Think about how stupid the average person is..
    Then realize half of them are dumber than that

    Todd - Just my 2 cents... You have done a great job on your ride and it shows very well. The flames just gave it another knotch up. Now changing the blue tubbing to black and adding a touch of black to the flames would put it over the top. Just thinking about it puts a smile on my face.

    Good Job!
