Custom paint ideas.......Need help

I just had my car repainted but now im thinking that it needs something more to stand out and say hey you over there.....yeah you, look at me. I plan on showing my car and really want that wow factor. I appreciate any ideas that you have so just through them out there from very subtle to very extreme whatever you have seen or can think of. I was thinking mabye some black ghost flames, or two tone it or something.....I really dont know but I want something diffrent for sure. Here are a couple of pics, tell me what you think will look good and if you have any pics of custom paint jobs on Camaros please post them up for ideas. Thanks

I think ghost flames would look pretty cool as well... if you really want a "Wow" factor though, just drop in an old school SBC motor with a big 6-71 blower sticking out the hood. That will turn plenty of heads.

^ x 1million

I don't know man, I wouldn't want to put anything on that front end. I think it looks awesome and has enough wow on it's own. I think something subtle on the side would tie it all together. What that is I have no idea.

Ghost flames would look good, or you could go with some racing stripes that fade into ghost flames, kinda like the 35th stripes but flames instead of checkered

Yeah I know about the tips. They look like **** LoL. I plan on getting some Corsa clones to fill in the gaps better.

Does anyone know about how much a good flame job should cost?
What does everyone think about painting the mirrors,scoop,and roof black?

Thanks for all the comments and compliments!!

Thanks man!! I think im just going to do the roof mirrors and scoop in black. That wont be to much and I think it would tie all the other black accents together good. What do you think?

HUH??? I get what you are saying about the hockey stripes but I see a bunch of cars with the mirrors, roof, and scoop painted. That's getting to be common. And in all honesty I've been to the track a hundred times and several car shows and rarely do I see hockey stripes. Only 2 cars that I can think of right now, beside the berger cars.

I say leave it and retract my previous post. I'm not sure what would do that car justice.
