I think we can all agree that social conventions on an internet forum are not the same as social conventions in the real world. Message forums are far more related to voicing your opinions and thoughts in a medium that does not upset the polite balance of real-world relationships. We shouldn't treat them as being the same.
Case in point. If I knew FG in person, and saw his new ride, i would say "wow! looks great!" When in reality, i am thinking to myself, "damn, its a bit underwhelming."
Perhaps message forums are a little bit more honest than in real life because we don't have to deal with the social conventions our society has foisted upon us. Speaking are mind, if it is to hurt someone's feelings is generally frowned upon in real life.

This sounds like it makes sense, but I can’t help wondering if this straightforward and logical explanation could be better explained with a meme of two dogs barking each other like you might find on your grandfather’s Facebook feed.

Also my close-knit club of haters, apparently. *blows kiss*
Hardly close-kit; both Textcritic and StrangeBrew have taken swipes at me in this thread, but all three of us find your brand of insecure self-importance annoying

The tips of the red flames, along the bottom-rear panel, do not line up in the same places when viewed between the side angle and rear angle (3 yellow lines).
Also, the darker ridge of the trunk intersects with the 1st bottom flame on the side angle, while on the rear angle it intersects on the 2nd bottom flame (1 red line). This is highlighted by the 3rd yellow line breaking through the red line to reach the flame tip on the side view, while it remains above the red line on the rear view.
This next one is sketchy too.
In one view, the smaller yellow line intersects with the tip of the red flame decal coming from the wheel well. There is also a moderate amount of red and yellow flames between the 2 yellow lines.
In the next view the smaller yellow line is nowhere near the tip of the red flame. There is also now much thicker band of red area, and only a little bit of yellow in the area between the 2 yellow lines.
Again, no expert, but this here ain't look right.
A few more photos would put this to rest. Keep coming to the thread hoping for more.
That’s what I noticed too, plate has too many characters.
The license plate is a (I assume) googled image pasted over the actual license plate. You can tell by the sharpness of the character edges in contrast to the slightly more pixelated edges of the rest of the wrap stickers, which looking at the consistent lighting with the vehicle exterior appear to be authentic. Also there are no mounting screw heads.
That might be what tipped people off initially, which is understandable.
The rest is an optic illusion as someone suggested. But just an ordinary little thing called perspective.
Photoshop certified, but you don't need that to make this analysis.
Also going off the fact that multiple other posters corroborated the shop claims. That's enough for me.
I'm shocked that it hasn't been put to bed, but amused at the idea that there might actually be a pro-conspiracy faction in spite of all the evidence.
A coworker of mine was actually going to get a big blue jays decal for the back of his jeep. I showed him this and he actually wants to get more done if this was around $1k.
Flamesgimp, what was the total bill for it? Was the shop good to deal with?

Wait. Are people actually seriously doubting the legitimacy of the pictures? I thought the Photoshop sleuthing was just silly fun.

I’m going to wait until djsFlames tells us which belief grants you more control over your spouse before I decide if it was shopped or not. It’s the only way to be sure.
