    There are many, many graphics companies out there today making decals & full body wraps for cars - here's one of the first that pops up with a Google of "Automobile Graphics" Car Decals, Custom Decals, Car Graphics, Vehicle Graphics, Auto Body Decals, Carbon Fiber, Window Decals, Stickers I fear that any decal that you get is going to look just like what it is - a stick on graphic, but the technology has come a long way, and I could well be wrong.

    When you decide to finally flame it, get someone who really knows flames. There are some very bad examples of the art running around, and not every custom painter understands how to get them right. I saw a pickup the other day that someone had flamed and it looked like a 10 year old had done them. Never saw wider licks in my life.

    Flames - love 'em or not!! I went to the NSRA show last week and took particular notice. Most that I saw, to be less kind then Don, looked, IMO, pretty crappy.

    These are both well done, but to me, too big:




    I did NOT like these tho I did like the car:


    And some ghost flames:




    The ones in sunlight are from last year
