Hi `Jeff,
Thanks for sharing/posting pic's of your awesome
Monte Carlo SS.
You are a lucky man 4-Sure.
It look faster with the stripes : ) I really love the stripes
on a Monte Carlo SS, plus the highlighted script
Monte Carlo on the rear.
Please take more pic's & share.
What's your next Mod ?
Hows your SS run'in ? Have you raced `it/timed `it ?
Look forward to your future posts.
Good Luck with your Monte SS & Life,
`Space

Very, very nice!
I particularly like the Script and SS on the front.

Mean looking machine!
Very nice touch.

I wasnt too sure either, because that is how the 07's come from the dealer, just hood and trunk. but what the hell.
And yes those are from ebay. They werent that bad at all one the car was washed and dewaxed with alcohol in that area. i just used a small amount of soap and water to apply (like window tint) so it was easy to move around to center lines then just squeege water out and let dry. a few days later after all dry washed car again and waxed area,
Just a some advise if you buy them, they come all rolled up so take out of box because i had to let them sit for a few days to get out wringles.

I tried to fix the pics in your first post, but I couldn't.
So I'm re-posting your pics here.

Very nice!

Edit: Is it just me, or do the stripes on the hood look crooked in the third pic?
