Default Flame job question: Opinions ?



Please help me decide which way to install this graphic. realistically the flame should come from the wheelwell, but asthetically I think they look better starting behind the fender. What do you think ?

OK, I think I'm starting to see a pattern develop. So, basically, NOBODY likes the fender way ? Is this what I'm hearing ?

I really think this could be a REAL short term job anyway, while I'm shopping around for somebody to paint the flame job I want on the car.

Does anybody like it the other way ? (My little girl is going to be upset if nobody agrees with her.)

I like them on the door...looks a little odd coming from the wheel well but it might be the design of the flames?

I also prefer the ghost flames coming from behind the fender rather than at the edge of the wheelwell.

It's YOUR car, do what feels right for YOU. Flames, or any mod, should be an expression of yourself, not a decision based on votes made by others. Have fun, enjoy!

I'd say from the well also. I tend to automatically think ones starting from behind the fender hump are just decals (as that seems to be the style for the majority of flame decals I've come across) and usually don't give 'em a second look. I think it also makes it more a part of the total "look", coming from the fender makes them look more isolated.
