I like it. I have always been a fan of the "realistic" fire versus flames. Kudos to the artist.

So isn't any body going to flame him?

I think it's already a case of self-immolation.

Wow, that's wild. I'm not big on flames, but taken to that level, I have to say that it's pretty

I see you have may have the BB bullets. Did you make your exhaust port filler or did you buy it from somebody?

I think I am speaking for myself and most forum members, we were not bashing your entire car you paint it looks incredible. People were just fixated on your grill and bashing that small aspect. The grill kinda gives it a comical look but without that grill it would look downright evil with that paint job.

Wow! That's one helluva paint job! As good if not better than Z06 Jim's C5 and that's saying something as I think his looks awesome too.

Still trying to figure out the engine cover. Is that 4 strips of LED's or is that some sort of optical illusion.

Awesome artist and it must have cost a fortune. Probably a stupid question but is it a show car only?

Only thing I don't really like is the grill but as you said, you like it and that's all that really matters.

Default your questions answered

The exhaust is a B&B route 66, you can get it customized to your specific exhaust from: fastvetteaccessories.com

The paint job took approx 9 weeks the artist is: jaymzairstudios.com
It cost $8000 including 5 coats of clearwork.

The lighting consists of LED strips and also rope type lighting under the hood area. The car has LED undercar lighting as well in 9 various colors and 1000 different patterns. Installed by American car craft in Spring Hill, Florida

The engine bay is black stainless steel which you can get the steel at fastvetteaccessories.com also. It has been painted and cleared by the artist. (NO, it does not effect the temperature of the engine.)

The interior is also done in fire. ) Will post those pics tomorrow.

To the one who asked.... Yes, the car is for show. But however we do drive it too.......
