Check out my flames (better pics added)
Hey everyone, I've been debating whether or not to put any sort of stripes or whatnot on my new '09 GT. I had tried a Boss style kit a few weeks back, but didn't like the sides, so I pulled it all off. The nonconformist in me doesn't really want the usual stripes (although they look great 
).
I tried a new experiment today. These are "ghost flames" made from frosted vinyl that allows some of the color behind it to come through. They are a bit more silver-looking than I was expecting when blasted with direct sunlight, but otherwise they have a darkish tint to them. Install took about 2 hours being very careful and positioning the flames meticulously.
The car is a work in progress, so nowhere near finished exterior-wise. I'll be doing black wheels, aluminum rear louvers, some sort of chin spoiler, Shaker hood, maybe some smoked foglight covers, tint, etc. I am shooting for a pseudo-retro/vader/semi-evil theme I think.
Anyhow, here are a few pics.
EDIT - Took some new pics today

Thanks guys, I was hoping the flames would be a bit more subtle than they are, but I still really like them. Its a weekend toy for me, so I figured I might as well do something out of the ordinary on it. 
I think I'm going to get one of the custom painted grille emblems from Southern Mustang Parts, and have them add some silvery ghost flames to this pony design:
