i have seen it before and it is hard to look at. the rims are ugly. convertible is a cool and unique idea. but it doesnt look good on a monte.

The rims are absolutely horrible

To drop or raise the top on the Camaro, does the eBrake have to be engaged? I know my wife's '01 Mustang is like that. I just thought it was stupid to see the driver driving with the top in mid motion. REALLY??

Definately! That's why yeah, I think vert F-bodies look cool, but I'd much rather the T-tops, as there is still a ridged roof and weight distrobution. My wife's Mustang has obvious sub frame connectors from the factory underneath. Not sure what else Ford added to that car to stiffen it up. I'm sure GM has done the same. In the case of this 6th gen Monte vert, wonder if this custom shop fabricated any kind of subframe connectors.

lol the whole poll thing was a joke. one extreme to the other.lol

but, i kinda like the blue. i like bright colors. and as far as a convert goes... well, most convertibles are built to be a convertible. not just structure and reinforcements, but the overall design and look of the car should fit too. it doesnt look BAD, but its deff different. it kinda takes away from the montes design. IMO

theres nothing good about the wheels.

I can dig the color, but I will never drive a convertible... I'd rock T-tops though
