damnit...im not the only one to think of that....i am actually in the process of getting some quotes on that.

I don't know what color the flames could be done ith though. Perhaps a pearl?

since I probably won't ever do this, I'll share my idea. I think it would work best (in terms of being subtle..sp?) on a silver or gray truck, but might look cool on any color. Have the hood blasted, and then paint the hood with the stripes taped off....clear over it and allow the metal to show through as stripes. Maybe even try and give it a brushed look. I think that would be cool.

but also only on the hood, NEVER EVER on the roof.

If we can keep this thread on topic it can stay open

Cammin was banned from the site for breaking a few different rules, not just because he had a problem with the Mods or Admin of this site.
