Should I? Would you?

I'm not much of a fan of decals. But wanted an opinion here. In about a year or so, I'm thinking about having ghost flames added. Can't do it now, funds have already allocated elsewhere. Cost will be in the neighborhood of $1200.

For now I though about added some decal ghost flames (semi transparent w/silver metallic) decals on the side. Thought this might be a good way to get a better idea how it would look prior to having a paint gun loaded. I have found several online and the seem to look ok in the pics. Just not sure. Cost is fairly cheap and I can install myself.

Just looking for opinions.

I used to have vinyl ghost flames. I'll dig up my thread when I put mine on and took them off. There are pics so you can see how it looks. I liked them at first but quickly grew to dislike them. It just didn't look right and cheapened the appearance of the HHR. If you want ghost flames you have to do them right because vinyl just doesn't cut it.

I looked into them for Bonnie's. Just couldn't pull the trigger. Unless they are really cheap, I'd hold off and just put that into the "Flame Fund"!

But ya gotta do what ya gotta do! If you think you'll like it, go for it.
