Flames or Stripes?

I am going to repaint my car and i was wondering what the general public thinks, my car is either going to be a diamond white pearl sort of color with a blue ghost flame or blue ghost stripes. What yall think?

I vote for the flames,the strips have been done to death on these cars.I know the flames have been done alot on cars too but not that much on these cars.I think it would look very cool if done properly.

They will be done extremely well, i work at a car restoration place and my bossman has been doing painting for 32 years, and i have seen his work and its very nice. The cars he has done win competitions.

I vote flames. Do them really subtle. Not "in your face" kinda flames. Something where you have to be within 25 feet of the car to start to notice it.

yea thats my idea, pretty much a white car with blues stripes. And them being ghost, the light has to hit it to make it look good.

Why not both. If you do ghost flames with stripes that would look cool, thats what I plan on doing to my car in a year or 2. I'm going to do it a certain way though so its not overkill.
