I'm not a fan of murals on cars for the most part but yours looks good!
Things that burn blue:
copper compounds + chlorine producer
copper acetoarsenite (Paris Green), Cu3As2O3Cu(C2H3O2)2 = blue
copper (I) chloride, CuCl = turquoise blue
Is the rest of the car just black?

I am a little over 5'2". Dave is 6'1" and doesn't have the seat all the way back.
The rest of the car is jet black.

Paint came out nice. I like my murals to have a few more curves but it looks good for a chicks car 
No really it looks great I bet you get a lot more attention.

Rumor has it that the VR6 Fiero was driving through Pennsyl-tucky last evening. Since getting the car back, I haven't seen much of it or Joey 
She is going to Delaware today for a drive to calculate the gas mileage. We are estimating around 28-30mpg. The car is very loud. I will be upgrading the exhaust, so that we won't get pulled over for it anymore. Still using a Magnaflow, but a little quieter this time.

Sweet. Cars are built to be driven, yes!
One question; Why weren't the flames extended down onto the lower sideskirts? It looks a bit uneven down there to me (but then, I do have OCD).
I really can't think of more appropriate looking wheels for that car, absolutely perfect in my eyes. What size tires did you go with, BTW?[This message has been edited by ALLTRBO (edited 06-27-2009).]

The car will be going back to the body shop for a few touch ups. The lower side skirts were already painted and cleared before the airbrushing was done. If I had known, I would have told them to sand the clear and airbrush it. The front markers are painted black, instead of the blue, so that will be getting redone. They also didn't assemble the door locks properly, so I will be redoing that part myself.
Other than that, the car is perfect. No orange peel or any imperfections in the black.
The tire size is exactly the same as yours...205/50ZR17 in the front and 235/45ZR17 in the rear.

Getting a little attention of the wrong kind?

Yeah, I'm the one who got pulled over for loud exhaust.
After the trip, we calculated gas mileage to be 30.9mpg and that is while having fun with the go pedal
