Default Photoshop Flame Paint Job

OK, most of you know that this summer I have some body work to dow with my fiberglass kit. I was also prolly gonnna get a new hood (Mach II hood, looks MEAN with the Saleen kit) I was looking around and found this pic, I really like it and is somewhat subtle. I think it would be relatively easy and cost effective for me to do.

The scheme would be flames. My car is white, the front bumper would be painted Black, the hood would have most of the flames, and the fenders would have to be repainted, but no biggy.

The pic attached is what I'm aiming for, yellow with silver flames, I think it looks good for the price since the whole front it just black.

Would black flames look good???????? I would love to do a sonic blue flame, but everything on the car is black, such as the saleen decals.

Attached are some pics and some of my own to be photoshopped.

IDC, I think they look SWEET.

This is what I'm doing. I AM going to do Sonic Blue. I'm going to try and find a place to make me custom Saleen Door decals in Sonic Blue. The rear saleen bumper will be sonic blue bewteen the pipes instead of the traditional black.

I honestly think I can get this all done for 3000 with the new hood.

don't do a solid color flame if you do them, either do the black to blue fade or vice versa...all one color is too bland..

Make the car stupidly fast first so you can backup those flames. Ghost flames maybe?

I don't wanna do something stupidly expensive. I wanna go no more than 3000 cost. Is there anything cool i could do with just the front bumper and hood? Nothing else.

here's what I'm thinking.

I WAS going to do like an entire Sonic Blue thing but Now I'm not sure, one because of cost and two because my entire interior is black and white only, and I don't wanna add another color.

IF I do flames I'm thinking of painting the front bumper Silver and then lead the silver into the flames. The tips of the flames would be black, silver fading into the black. Flames would only be on the hood and the side fenders. What about that idea? This way I can keep my existing door Saleen decals and not have to worry about re-clear coating or painting them.

They thrashed that poor Cobra. Flames are cheesy in my opinion. There on the same tier as bras.
