I have never put on a decal before I put some on my 8.. and i must say... its hella fun! i've become a decal junkie, to a limit..

I think it would be a fun project to put on flame decals on my 8, both sides of course, probably from fender to fender.. I know some think flames are lame.. but i think it would look nice, as i do like flames.. I have a lightning yellow 8, and i think black flames would look good over it and make it more unique than the average 8. of course it wont make my car faster, but so what? it'd look pretty nice in my opinion.. especially since i'll go through a reliable site and choose the most realistic looking flames. any other opinions on this?

 

More unique not means better, do whatever you want with your car, that's why is yours! And in my opinion I will never put any flames on my 8 or on any other car

 

do it cuz i wanna see the pics lol

 

arent you the guy that had a guy that was going to do your 8 in flat black? or was that someone else?

 

must have been some one else

 

a flat black 8 would look amazing

 

Just saying... Also, realistic black flames???

 

heres one for ya

Yeah, it wasnt you, but I remember seeing your sig somewhere else.. but i think i'll just do it for the picture opportunity lol

 

thanks haha i remember lurking on that thread when it first came up

 

actually theres several better flat black 8s in these 3 pages in this thread:

if nothing else you could always just use a heat gun and take it off

 

does a heat gun affect my paint at all

 

something like this i guess? http://www.modernimage.net/_e/Race_F...ic_1_Color.htm

 

Please don't...

 

oh, i meant this one:

you have my opinion. But hey, your car...

 

the second one was a joke lol. but i thought the first was alright... maybe i'll reconsider and just get a black like down the middle.. at least then i'll still be able to get some girls... instead of them being afraid to get in..

 

Vinyl can work on a show car that has wheels, bodykit, lowered, etc. If your car is the completely stock looking 8 on in your avatar, then I would suggest saving the money spent on vinyl and start somewhere else.

When doing visual mods to a car little bits at a time, there's an order that you should follow: springs or coilovers first, then wheels, then body kit, and then after your car is aggressive looking you may be able to pull off vinyls. Any other order and you will be flamed when posting pics here. Body kit with stock wheels and ride height? Flamed! Vinyls on an otherwise stock car? Flamed! Even aftermarket wheels on a stock car will get you "lower it" comments.

 

flames can't be too bad I guess it could be worse like some tribals or razor wire hahah

 

no a heat gun should not cause any damage to your paint

 

well, i already put on 3 decals.. 2 on the rear bumper, proportional, and 1 on the rear window, across the top. the ones on my bumper are clean, but have nothing to do with the car. the rear window says FALKEN tire, which i do have.. while i am not sponsored by them (yet), i love their logo. i only have one more decal left that i am waiting for.. then i'll invest in other things i'm sure my car will make its way to the top some day

 

i wish it did. i really need a new paint job. lol

 

+1

 

well why would you have to ruin your paint for a new paint job?
