Flames - has anyone tried these?

Have been seeing these on ebay and wonder if anyone has tried them?

The company that makes them has an installer in Iowa City, Iowa (about a half an hour from my home) and I think I could get them installed there.

If you've tried them - could you post some pics? I have a sunburst hhr and I am thinking about purple flames.

I got some from Dans Decals on ebay. These are the ones I got.

Installed them myself...If I can do it, anyone can. Just take your time and follow the directions. The panels need to be squeaky clean.

If that's where you were looking at on ebay, they are fast turnaround. I had mine within a few days.

Why don't you just have them painted on.It looks and stays much better.

The decals are a great way to "test" the look before plunking down allot of money for a custom paint jobbie.

I guess it depend on who you get to do it if it cost alot.Why don't you just draw it on paper or photo shop it,before putting that cookie cutter vinyl on it.Vinyl ruins the value of any car.Paint adds to the value.I have been I custom painter for over 30 years.I paint over 1100 jobs a year.My work is about the same price as tape and looks a heck of alot better and wears better.Check out my site at www.myspace.com/killerdesigns1.I you live in another part of the county there are plenty of great artist in your area.

Checked out some of your work. Love the murals. A couple of the cars had too much flame for my taste, but still nice work. Wish I lived closer.
