flame decals

Hot rod decoration

Flame decals are decorative stickers depicting stylized fire, typically applied to vehicles to suggest speed or aggression.

The classic design features orange and red flames sweeping back from the front of a car or motorcycle.

Once associated with hot rods and custom cars, flame decals became a cultural cliché—shorthand for trying too hard to look cool: He thought the flame decals made his minivan look fast.
