You could go with some racing stripes. They seem to add some hp=) j/k actually, i would do some accent stripping or, yes, even a racing stripe. just my $.02 though.

you painting the whole car? or just your hood?

if you're doing the whole car, get the base coat in your factory burgandy, and put a translucent silver topcoat(not cheap though) with a good clearcoat.

I'm still lookin for someone that will make a green to white flip. till then, a couple vinyl graphics will have to do.

I know you said flames are played... but I'm partial :-D I think some carefully placed GHOST flames towards the front would be real hot... or even have your car fade from white to silver as is goes down. That's all I can think of now....

well i gotta paint the hood and rear deck from where i put the wing on. so i'm not gonna paint the whole car just those areas. i think ghost flames are a maybe. i remember the design trickedeclipse had on the side of his car and was thinking about painting the front bumper, hood and fenders siver and the fenders would come back in a jagged design like that from the top of the fender to the bottom. hey tricked, you got any old pics so they know what i'm talking about?

man just get vinyl graphics instead of a paint job. then you can also pull of the graphics later if you like. just my opinion. later

How much does a vinal kit cost? I'm thinking about getting one, but I wasn't sure on the prices. I know they very, but I was just wondering what the basic ones cost.

(1996rs klipz) wishin' I had some mods

I wrote Modern Image about a kit, a little bigger and slightly more complicated than the one chris posted, only it was one color, and they quoted me around $150.

I got blue flames with flakes at the vinyl shop on silver. If you get flaked vinyl. It is usually premium. This along with labor was $300. I got them black b4, but it was too dull. Candy colors are like 120. That is what I've seen around my area.
