What do you guys think of front blackouts and rear tailight covers?

I don't like em, personally. On a black car, it would look nice, if the stealth look is what you're going for, but for practical reasons I don't think they're a good idea. Being that they are so dark, it cuts down the brightness of your headlights noticably, only reason I know is cause my dad has some on his F150.

I agree with ya there, they do reduce the amount of light output quite drastically. They don't look that bad on other colors IMO..

On performance mods here are a couple of links you may find of interest.

ZZP

I linked the one above to ZZP and it's free mods section you should check out first.

This is a link to 3800Performance.

3800P link

Intense-racing, you may want to wait for your warranty to expire to play here..lol But it's always nice to start your mod want list.

Intense Racing

I have collected a ton of other Monte & 3800 links, let me know what your looking for if your run out of goodies on the links above.

My mods have been limited so far. I've owned it for a little over a year now and it has kept me pretty happy. But here are a list of my mods.

1. Flows... 40 series..

2. Removed the honeycomb screen in the throttle body. You will find this mod on the free mod section of ZZP!!

3. Embroidered Monte Carlo SS floor and trunk mats.

4. Got rid of those pesky DLR's... I moved the photo sensor from the dash and tucked it in the dark.

That's about it so far.....

My location is Houston, Texas... I'll have pics of mine available the first of the year.....

I noticed your in the Jersey area right???

TVW..

Many of the links you are asking for are already in the item you quoted. But sadly, many of those businesses have disappeared and/or those products are discontinued. ZZP (www.zzperformance.com) is still around and still offering a lot for the W-Body platform, especially the supercharged 3800.
