Flames are just cliched and most other things look naff, so for me its a lose lose situation, personally i think it looked good in its original form.
something i find that looks very cool on those types of cars is the likes of a small (13 -14 inch) wheel with a fat tire at the back with a larger (15-16 inch) wheel up front with a very low profile tire.
dont know why but it kind of resembles a drag car which is good for old school muscle cars.
AIMHO though

I think I'll have to go with the general flow. It looks good now, but I think it looked better original.
I also think it'll be harder to move on when you want to sell it. You made a low demand car 50% less wanted.
All in my humble little opinion of course.
What did the car cost where you are ?

You are of course quite correct. Modding a car or bike with styling slightly 'off the wall' will always affect it's value. If he ever sells it it will now only appeal to a specific type of buyer who likes the same mods.I also think it'll be harder to move on when you want to sell it.

But we don't know if he'll ever sell it, he might keep it for life...might! And after all, he's just making it his own. All part of being a Ph'er.
Seems a shame to have done that to a totally original car, are they worth anything or are they quite cheap 'cos I think you've probably just quartered it's value .. on the upside the airbrushing work looks nicely done so 
there but on balance I much preffered it as was.
It reminded me of an airfix (or similar) kit I had when I was younger, there was the option of building it as a std street car or a waaaayy out there dragster car, naturally being about 8 at the time I opted for the dragster version. Now being old and set in my ways I'd build it to standard street car version.
I'm old.
