I think it sits wrong for the monte. The front of the monte comes to a point, so everything at the top angles down, and everything from below angles up.

That grill bubbles the wrong way and just looks funny against your hood.

It ain't terrible. I know it's just a trial run, but if you go through with it, definitely paint under it so it's all hidden.
