besides needing some shading, the ripping needs to be rough on the inside and outside.. you have like that amoeba shape on the inside with tearing on the outside.

Not on the black, they mean on the inside section by the logo ... it helps to give depth to it and look like the logo is under the paint.
for a nice shading, you should bring your vectors in to photoshop as smart objects. The blending properties in the layers will give you the best looking shading results. Vector program shading will not give you the look you're wanting once printed. I would build all vector base then import each layered element into its own layer as it's own smart object. From there is just a matter of building up the layers with different blending and layer fx's. I will not use illustrator's or flexi's blending/shading efx. they're terrible upon printing.

Heres an example from a quick google search ... look at the shading on the inside by the skulls ... and the curled back metal has depth because of the added shading. Like Les said, probably easiest to shape it out in illustrator like you have then switch to pshop for the detailing in the metal.

This is not really useful for your application but for the photoshop nerds. Try ripping some paper and folding it to get the look you are going for and then photographing it with light sources coming from proper angles. Bring that image into photoshop. You can get some crazy graphics. Got this idea way back in the day. The tutorial had a model with her scalp coming apart and butterflies flying out.

I don't know if it's a logo, but the red is killing that copy.
Not sure why, but I see a cat with fins morphing into a anodized aluminum dragon with little bullets floating around inside.
As for putting shading and highlights on, you need to determine a light source and then everything else will probably have to become 3D in appearance or you're gonna have flats spots and surreal mixed into one big mess.

Look at the "whats included" tab.
It is a layered PSD and a abr brush file.
If Flexi does not mangle the psd it will work.
I don't think flexi can use photoshop brushes so those are out.
If you took advantage of that free CS2 Photoshop download a while ago you should be good to go.
