Flames and flame kits (out the pipes) should be left to '50 Mercs, '40 Fords, and other classic hotrods. Tacky and cheezy on a supposed luxury sports car.

I saw a Lexus SC430 (the fairly large two seaters with the retractrable hard top) that had flames on the doors. Almost wrecked my own car I was laughing so hard.

Flames work on on a '32 Deuce - but I still prefer even those without them - and old Merc hot rods as cgocifer pointed out. That's about it though.

If you have to ghost flame it. I agree with the guys above that flames belong on hot rods. When I had my Pt and GT Cruisers I noticed a lot of people put flames on them and never understood that. Its a 4 cyl. even with the Turbo. And then they started using those stick on/magnetic flames. Thats about as tacky as can be. Just my humble opinion.

My SRT-4 would shoot flames when I had my Needswings cutout open and I would WOT shift

You could look at the cars next to you and see the 2-3 foot flame underneat your car shoot out like a firework.

Not recommended since Neons have plastic gas tanks hahaha

If you go with the flames, you need to also get a set of those cow nuts to hang on the back. Maybe Andrew or Dan could create a Mercedes star to fit onto the nuts.

How about a decal for the rear window with a Bad Boy pissing on an Audi TT ?

Yeah, Yeah, that's the ticket.

I agree, if one just has to have flames down the side of this car, Ghost Flames would be the only way to go !
