Opinions Needed: Upgrading My Car

I have been watching a bunch of the show "Overhaulin". Ever seen that Eli?
There is a guy that does paint for Foose that does awesome flames.
I used to not like them, but the work is amazing. Try to find that or buy a boxed set of the show or something.
He or someone could keep the orange and add black ghost flames to the front and maybe the trunklid and spoiler. Use the orange as a base and just add the flames and then clear the whole thing. I imagine they would paint those black inserts on the hood orange first to make a consistent base then add flames to the whole thing.
That would also be good because then you don't have to worry about door jambs or under the trunk hood. They would stay orange and look fine.
I looked around and could not find a good picture.

An example but not very good. Not enough contrast.
If you really hate flames look around, watch overhaulin, or talk to the best paint shops you can get to. They might do a two paint job to make that thing look better and maybe break up the lines a little. It looks tall to me.

lol okay you caught me there
The answer to that question is simply, i bought the car then 6 months later the G8 came out and I was heart broken. I was going to trade it back in and get the G8 for a long time but I haven't found a GXP version in my area although the GT's are still totally badass. Now I've given up..all well maybe for my next car.
So I got the hood and spoiler installed today and went to the paint shop and talked to them. I ended up deciding on a fleck titanium gray type color with a almost charcoal black accents for the hood scoops and spoilers and possibly down the side details. It'll look sexy as hell and not so flashy as the orange.
I'm scheduled to do the painting in two weeks Here's my car now with the hood on:
And yes ladies I am also the proud owner of a big black jimmy lol :338:
Have you ever seen a car painted with crushed glass in the paint? Looks like tiny diamonds in the paint, really sweet and something I bet no one in your area will have.
