Shadow flames

Any opinions on how a black Camaro with gray shadow flames would look? Or a gray Cam with black shadow flames? I've been looking at motorcycle tanks trying to envision the look on a car

if the flames are done right and by someone who knows how to paint flames I think it would look good. You'll find out that flames on a car or motorcycle is one of those controversal issues, some people love them and some hate them.
However, flames are also one of those paint jobs that never go out of style (except tribal flames) its a hotrod thing and will always be cool. Scallops is another timeless paintjob.

It will look cool, but not so much on a stock car. I think you will need wheels and lower the stance to pull the look off. It won't help your resale though.

I think it would look good, I prefer the subtly of grey on black, especially on newer cars.

Red ghost flames look nice on a black car.

Red ghost flames on a black car? I didn't think that was possible. Aren't they supposed to blend in with the body colour unless you look at it up close. Not sure how you can do that with red unless its a really really dark red.
