sorry al

but I am going to have to steal your paint job to put on my car. I have been looking for 6 months now for something to set my car apart from the rest and add a little bit of me in it, all the graphics I see suck big time. I have thought about the flames on the car but didnt think it would look good until I saw yours. I like the way it looks, going to have to figure a way to make it not look excatly like yours, still thinking on that.

Whats the difference between stealing someone elses paint job design and 'finding an idea' on the internet? In both cases you are taking someone elses idea and making it your own.

I think that as long as you use a different style of flame go for it. Just don't make it a carbon copy of another persons car....

Back in the day my friend had a pearl white maxima had all kinds of **** done to it on the inside and had 17" (back when 17's were big) Niche Primas on it. A few months later a kid bought the exact same car as him and told him he liked the rims and asked if he minded if he put the same rims on his car..... You can guess what the answer was.

My suggestion is look at a bunch of cars that have paint jobs you like and combine them to make something different.

I defiantly don’t want to make a carbon copy, I just didn’t know if the flames would look good on a silver car and what color. I have played with a graphic program sticking different things to the side of my Evo but just couldn’t get the colors where I wanted them and now that I see it does look good I will go one step further and talk with a paint shop. I don’t want my car to look exactly like Big Als, I just like the flames. I have talked with two different companies about graphics and if you want something original not from the stuff they have already made you must pay an artist and their work does not come cheap and no guarantee that you will like what they do. So its not like I saw his car and thought I want it too look exactly like his, I was just happy that the flames looked good and want something like it. I use to own a 71 Mustang and and was looking into a paint job for some organe flames, I have always liked flames, sports cars and flames kinda go hand in hand. But when I bought my silver Evo, I wasnt too sure about the flames. Thats all. My car already looks live every other Evo out there, I dont care if something looks like my car or if my car looks like someone elses. I just thought I would tell Al that it looks good and that I want something like it.

Companies do sell more than one set of rims and I don’t see why I should stop someone from using their money to buy it, obviously if I buy something because I think it looks good, I am sure their is someone out their that thinks it looks good too.

You should vinyl the words "fast and the furious" on the side of your car, people will know that you mean business with those words.

Also, don't forget Silver flames coming off the exhaust whenever you rev it.

Instead of Skulls you can put on Pam Anderson melons

You should look into ghost flames. It sounds like you don't want anything too flashy and on a silver car, there are many different silver variations you could throw on, including blue. Also, by adding a little pearl into the color of the flames, you could go with almost the same stock silver and I think it would look great! Ghost flames can hide on you in some lights and pop out real nice in other lights, they are the way to go without getting out of hand.
