Default Body Kits

So, I'm new here and really glad I found this place. I just got my 2nd Monte a few monthes ago, a 2001 LS - my first one was an '87 SS with a 383 Stroker engine - and I've been looking around for body kits but I keep only coming up with 2; the Razzi and the F1. Does anyone know where I can find other body kits that might be a little different from these two?

Now that is bad ***, no doubt about it. And truthfully a month or so ago I would have jumped all over this, but it's not exactly what I'm looking for. NASCAR is popular now but it's going to fade eventually, not to mention the conotations that go with being associated with NASCAR. It just doesn't have that "timeless" sort of look I'm going for. Every bodykit I find makes the Monte look like a beefy tuner. The Monte Carlo's roots arein a muscle car heritage, and that's what I'm trying to stay true to. I was looking for something that looks aggressive, more angular than the stock bumper - which the NASCAR clone deffinately has - but also something, a little more...I don't know...."classic?"

Ok.... so I may get some backlash for this one but IMHO that body kit does not look good. The rivets look bad and the spoiler looks like it was built for a moon landing or something. I say........ Lower the car with no body kit at all. Just my .02

I've had that thought too. Dropping it down about 2 inches and leaving it stock. I still wish I could find a more angular front end.

I agree with you about the spoiler though. If I was going to do that I'd keep my stock spoiler. Also, not a fan of how the rear sits 3 inches higher than stock.
