Flame Decal
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?

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.
