Just bought it. Question is, what to do with the flames?



And what about the spider gear knob?

Donate the gearknob to a bogan.


Then drop anything with 300hp plus into it to justify the flames.
The little 200kw 4.5L all alloy Toyaota V8 from early 90's should work, it was only 600mm ^3

^^^ Don't listen to him, paint 'em red to match the spider.

It looks like you could see more through the side panels than through that tint.

Spider gear knob is about to come back into fashion,
Sadly, flames have never been cool.

The flames look a bit naff with those wheels. A nice set of mags would set the flames off nicely.

Agreed, and what suspension do they have? can you cut the springs to dump it a couple of inches?

my question is, why didn't you pick up the rims (or flash spinning hubbies)

Keep the flames so that you can tell its your Hiace as compared to the other white hiaces everywhere.

Maybe add some red highlights to the flames, just so that its not the same as the other white hiaces with gray flames.

It's a windsurfing van, so spend the time and money on the important things like a fridge and a cooktop (for winter!).

What about a few emergency flashing lights on front and back - sure will help you get to the surf on time

Leave it as is. Looks fully sick.
My suggestion is to paint rims black.

That is one nice van.
You can expect a lot of random breath tests.
Red highlights to the flames are a good idea.
Extensive blue lighting on the underside, should see you ready for summer.

Its a hiace! Ditch the flames and leave it alone. I cant see any change out of 15k to make it fast enough to have any credibility and even thenl, flames, neons and spider gear knobs lost all street cred about 6 months after the first fast and furious

Get rid of the flames, put a red cross on each side with a notice saying "Emergency Schlipatdichtome Treatment Available Inside."
