mike does some amazing work, i'm looking at buying his starter kit to learn myself

as for the porsche it might be cool in the engine bay and other less obvious areas, as for on the car I agree a photoshop would help, maybe near the exhaust or mirrors but to flank an entire quarter panel or hood might be a bit much, but I'm not saying don't do it, I'm up for being very orginal!

I would say no to flames on a Porsche, but it your car.... On a muscle "show car" they look good, but not on a Porsche driving down the street :-) Just my opinion..

Flaming!

SLOMO....

Your car is so riduclously cool as it is.... would be MORE fun to see you do internals, get it to 700hp with insane reliability on pump gas.... and go low-profile instead... just because black cars are so sickeningly cool as they are.... but if you MUST do flames.... go ALL THE WAY....

I've decided that the reason no one has done it, is because it would be gay!

a legitimate inquiry, I think.... jut good to see what people think. I visulized an entire car engulfed in scalloped flames and thought it would look WICKED and then realized it a black-*****'s-gasser..(in my head)..no big deal... His car is KILLER if you've ever seen it in person.

Thanks! I am going to pass on the flames... I hope it looks right with the new wave of mods that are going into it... keep my fingers crossed that I haven't moved from understated to tacky!

i think it could work. look @ the "tattoe'd" gallardo from the Monterey show a few weeks ago. if you would have said that was a good idea, i would have said you're crazy; but it looks very sharp in pics (and i'm sure even better in person.)

ghost flames MIGHT work, but I doubt it. I love them on other cars though.
