From what I can tell they are available in three varieties...

1. A template for 'painting on' the chisel flames.. This will allow a paint shop (or creative cat owner) to paint on the flames using your own color scheme. There are several 'masks' that are removed to pint the different colors.

2. A vinyl application.. these I assume are semi permanent 'decals' avail in several color schemes.

3. A magnetic application.. temporary removable type... I would be interested to know how well these stick to the alum prowler panels.

For What It's Worth:
I really don't like to say negative things about different vendors out there, but I bought a set of the flames as listed on their site. In fact, alot of the artwork seen in their picture was designed by me and Bob at HotRod On-Line. I had hoped to have a set of flames ready for Woodward 2000, but this did not happen. When I finally did receive the flames in vinyl, I was EXTREMELY disappointed in them.
I called Bob at HotRods Online (727-585-2082) and discussed this with him. Result - nothing has been done to date to rectify this. The flames look great on the computer, but when they are printed and ready for a car, the "sparkle areas" (important in my opinion) just blur into huge white blotches. Looks terrible! (OK, I'm being nice here!)
These flames do not make a statement for the car they are on. They say "I'm a cheap decal!" Definitely not the look I wanted on MY Prowler...
If anyone is interested, I paid $450.00 including "express" shipping (which turned out to be five weeks) so - if you still want a set, I'll be more than happy to get rid of mine ... make me an offer. (NOT!)

I think it's important to let everyone know my opinion on these flames. I was really looking forward to installing what you see in the picture, and I do like the idea of "removable" flames (it is a one shot deal - these are not re-installable after removal). The magnetic version will not work on the Prowler - only good for steel cars like the PT Cruiser. Seeing the actual product is a completely different situation. My opinion - Save your money and go elsewhere.

May everyone have a safe and happy holiday season.
