You have got a point there, I myself am not entirely pleased with them. But I wanted to cover almost up to my windows with the Herculiner. Then it is not the easiest product to work with. It's kinda hard to get the right thickness in tightspots without painting over it repeatedly, and then worrying about it drying to the tape. And if you don't like it that's cool.

WOW the hatred. I think it was a very cool idea. It would have looked better if the flames where one color and the background is a different color. I still like it how it is. Its unique. If i knew i could get this many fired up i would put pink flames on mine and post it all over and tell everyone it is the greatest thing.

Please post some pics of your rig, so we have an equal opportunity to express how we think your ride looks!! BTW, you shouldn't be so harsh on folks around here, it isn't tolerated!! I have had people tell me that they don't dig the tan paint on my rig, and personally I couldn't care less what people think about it. It's mine, and I like it! I'm sure Tampa feels the same way. Thanks for your insight, though!!

Hey, if you like it, it's cool. We all do stuff to our junk to make it different. How else can we find our ride after a few beers at a meet 'n greet?

the black and herculiner ghost flames are waaaaaayy over done.. ( )

there are haters out there, but just ignore them. variety keeps the world from becoming plain. even though a lifted xj already sticks out from all the gray priuses and silver toyota camrys, why not have it stick out a little more

Awesome! I have wanted to do something like that for awhile but cant find any 2-doors for sale around here, the roof-rack, amazing! and the rhinoliner, great job, looks like a factory paint job and the red stripe just adds to it!

Mike, the comments aren't directed towards you, see my quote. I didn't think what you said was that bad.

Nah nothing directed at any one person. I mainly posted because a couple comments were borderline..My theory is cut it off before it goes in a direction we don't want to go..

I didnt think so
I just wanted to be clear on my statment
I dont like downing people or being part of it

I do love a good opinion debate that brings out good info and facts about a subject
and I will never have any thing bad to say about anyone that disagrees with me
