Default Thinking about gettin some flames, little help please

I have been think of putting on a pinstripe flame to break up all the red on my truck. I like the look of the Harley F-150, but the colors that they come in don't really help me. Do you guys know anywhere i can get that flame in custom colors and lengths? I would like more flame and less actual pinstripe. Any help would be great, and also any thoughts or comments about my idea too. Do you guys think it would look good or not?

The truck looks good as is. If you want to do a flame pinstripe though, I have always liked red and black, they just go together well. There are some people on here who can photoshop them on the truck so you can have an idea of what it will look like before you do it.

I assume you are talking about putting it right at the top of the fender and below the windows correct?

Yeah right between the handle and the window, I was thinking of going with a silver/ charcoal metallic center with a black outline. If there is someone that can photoshop some of those flames on there that would be cool, just let me know if someone wants to do it for me and i can get you a pic to use or something.

I think you're on the right track with that color choice. One of the most impressive 'flame job' used pewter metallic flames, outlined in black and turquoise on GM's Dark Garnet which is a darker red than yours, but I think they'd look killer on your truck also.

Good luck!

Black and silver flame pinstrip would be pimptacular. Nice truck BTW.
What drop, rim tire combo do you have?

Do you have a link or pic? I looked there, but didn't have much luck and am considering this myself....
