Why clutter the side of a beautiful truck?

Hah if you can't tell from others' responses, no one really puts flames on Tundras. There's some show Tundra with really bad flames though.

That still doesn't justify flames. But to bartch's question, I would never add flame DECALS to begin with. If I ever got flames they'd be custom painted. Decals look mad ricey and cheesy.

Has anyone seen any tundras with a flame job? I've searched it so i can get some ideas but haven't seen any?

That is the only one I recall seeing. I'm sure there are more.

Sorry but I didn't get a closer photo shot of it. I was too excited because I have never been to a truck series race (or any NASCAR race).

It looks to be a pretty basic flame, something that could be ordered from any auto parts catalogue.

Hey Tundra dog,

Not sure if your looking to "paint" or "decal" your truck with flames, but there was one other TS member who'd also "flamed" his truck (a DC), with decals. They looked pretty awesome. Check it out here. http://www.tundrasolutions.com/photo...sort/1/cat/500

Johnny (a.k.a. 2theedge1974) told me, that he ended up removing the decals, because... he was concerned about the decals leaving an "edge" and/or "discoloration" under the decal, on the paint, if the decal were ever to be removed for an reason, especially if left on for a lengthy period of time. Considering how inferior Toyota paint (in general) seems to be... I'd have to agree with his reasoning. So, that said... if I were to do flames, I think I'd go with paint. Now, on the other hand, if you plan on leaving a decal application (like Jonny's) in place perminately... then this whole point of paint vs. decal is... kinda' mute!

Wouldn't you say?

Either way... the link I have or the link Agent WD-40 has, are awesome looking flame jobs.
