My taste runs towards the minimalist approach.
I voted for the solid Brandywine and ghost flames too. Although I'm not a big fan of ghost flames, on the hood only would be a very nice touch.
(IMO) Convertibles have so much going on, the cleaner the better. If you leave the badging and the rocker panels, I think two tone would be too much, as would ghost flames on the side. Remove the rockers, and the ghost flames trailing over the edges of the hood-fender linecould be very cool.

I have shaved all the emblems off the car as well as the rocker panel moulding. I even remove the side marker lights and antenna. The only chrome on the side is the door handles and bullet mirrors. One other thing about my car is it has shelby side scoops and a shelby deck lid. Thanks for the input guys!

I say go for the flames. But you have seen my truck and know my plans for my car( I like flames). Your car is going to stand out no matter what. It is loud.

I like loud. I was wondering when you would chime in and somehow I knew you would choose flames.

How about black with gold ghost LeMans stripes? Maybe a pearl.

flames that are slightly a different color, maybe a pearl or a more coarse silver under the kandy etc or just over regular base coat for that matter

If you look at the red stripes on the black car I have in the post that is similiar to what I have in mine when I refer to ghost flames. Basically what rmodel65 said.

Any one else want tovote? It looks like it is down to 2, maybe 3. To find out what one is winning just place a vote.

Thanks!
