I don't know sometimes I think stripes are played out, but that is just my opinion, and we all know what they say about opinions having in common with a-holes...... everyone has one. Anyway I give you a big thumbs up on giving your car some individuality . If I was you and I am not so take no offense but ghosting the flame not over the hood but somewhere off the side would give the car a fast look even parked while remaining unique. ie: like coming out a fender extractor, etc.... I think the f-body has some sharp lines and should be enhanced before overcasted by any work. I also wanted to add that use of metallics is a great idea but you could also consider a Candy Apple Plum paint job since the panels on an f-body are so big and contour just right to show off a nice dark colored 3 stage as the lights and direct sun passes over! Sorry for ranting but I was in the business since I was 14 up until a couple of years ago and sometimes I get carried away when it comes to shop talk and custom paint work......lol. Either way you have a great idea and I am sure the car will look totally @ss kicking . Hope I wasn't out of line...

Cheers,
~ Lou
