Magnetic flames

 For part-time bad asses.

Nothing turns head like a nice flame job on your car. Chicks dig it, guys respect it. The problem: a custom, airbrushed flame job can be very costy. Also, under certain circumstances your flame job might attract the wrong sort of attention.

The solution: magnetic flame job. This consists of 2 one-piece panels for the sides, with the deluxe set also containing a large flame magnet for the hood. Carefully clean off any dirt, then stick these on and presto - a first rate flame job. When you are picking the client up for lunch, the flames can go in the trunk.

Similar... more artsy. People would still cut you off with the carp panels. http://www.halfbake...dea/Car(p)_20Panels

       Appears to be baked. Or flame broiled maybe.

       If we are to properly bring car flames into the 21st century, then they should be rippling around just like real flames. Given that someone has just come up with a real world design for e-finger nails, surely you can manage e-flames?

       As far as myself and the chicks I know are concerned, it kinda makes you think the owner of the flamed car is *trying* to look like a bad ass, thus completely negating the desired effect.   

       However [DrCurry] the rippling flames would be pretty cool.

       Methane tank in the boot (trunk), Bunsen burners attached to the front wings (rear facing), flame-retardant material added to bodywork -voila! Not only can you appeal to the 'chicks' (you don't actually call them that to their faces do you [bungston]?) but you can also lean out of the window and flame-grill your own whopper.
