    "Ghost" or "Phantom" flames are flames that are painted on the car with a color that is very similar to that of the car itself. The flames are hard to spot (hence the name) but look very cool when you see them.

      Ehhh, not 100% correct. I have seen ghost flames that are a completely different color than the car. The trick is viewing angle. The flames are painted on VERY softly and often with "pearl" colors. The "pearl" is the trick to the whole "ghost" flames. The pearl paint can be completely see thru at one angle and then at another be nearly opaque. thats more how it works.

          Heres a good example - theres this guy who lives in my area that has a early 4th gen Trans Am. Its black and it has really deep purple flames on it. If you just glance at it then you probably wouldnt notice but when you accually look at it, especially from a certain angle, it looks soooo amazing. Often cars with ghost flames only have the outer edges of the flames painted, ie the front of the car is the same color as the rest of the car, if that makes any sense.
