I'm not a huge fan of flames, but I'll say this:

1) From the side the paint scheme looks pretty good.

2) Not sure if you're finished with the painting, but inorder to get the black hood and front bumper to tie-in with the rest of the car, you should paint the roof, trunk lid and rear bumper black as well.

Thumbs up

Beautiful job, just not my taste.

Very sharp though.

Enjoy

I think it would look better with a red front bumper, but overall very cool

I too think it'd look much better without the red. The flames look well done...are they painted or stickers?

I'm not a fan but if you black out the trunk deck lid and roof the scheme should flow better.

...

Think I would red up the front bumper too, or at least the sides so it flows with the fender.

If your talking about the one on the hood its a JDM 'Alcyone' badge which I think you should have.
If your talking about the one on the side by the window, they're US (and Canada?) only.

As for the car... like others said, paint the front bumper red.

It looks pretty good. It looks beautiful.

Maybe it's "too hot" for my taste.

Thumbs up Nice work

I think it looks good, definently need to go with a red bumper and fade the trunk lid from red into black. That would be my 2 cts.

Looks good though.
