Default Small updates on the Monte :)

sup guys, just want to share with you all some small things i've done to the monte

Let me know what yall think

well i finally got my windshield banner and i've had it on for a while, i think it looks great

at dusk


got the forum decal on as well
dont mind the transformers one lol


I also decided to paint the 3 Braces in the engine bay oh and also the alternator bracket, used some red caliper paint, turned out nice and glossy

without engine cover

with engine cover


I also wanted to paint some kind of design on my old hood liner:p, let me start off by saying i SCREWED it up
i masked off the design with bule painters tape, when i decided to remove the masking, the tape picked up a thin layer of the liner and i was pissed
oh well, i'll get another liner later on

heres some before and afters (thanks 03SSLE for the before pics)

i decided to throw on some 5/16 wheel spacers on the back
i think it looks a little better, brought out the wheels just a tad, but ehh :p



quick shot of my old skul system lol
Kicker L5 15" in a sealed box, wired at 2 ohms to a Kenwood KAC-9152D Amp
kept the stock headunit, sounds pretty decent


heres some more crappy iphone pics lol

Looks good I love the red. You should try to touch up the SS with a paint brush cuz it doesn't look bad.
