Default A few visual mods....

Well guys, I haven't had much time at college to take good pictures of the visual mods Ive made ot my car. I've painted my brake calipers, removed hte Monte Carlo logos from the sides, and moved the SS logo on the trunk to the the other side.

The car, which would look better if it were sunny and out in the yard but here it is. It may make a good MotM pic too if I can get the same picture i the grass. Note the words "Monte Carlo" now missing from the side.




The Painted Calipers:



The trunk lid




insanity, heres a couple more pics for ya!! haha

Garret, i'd say black or silver metallic to match the rim if i were you. i don't see most peoples favorite, red, as working out too well for you.

wayne, if i payed for a intimidator, i might want to advertise it!! haha, it's pretty obviously a monte carlo so i figured "what the heck" and took it off.

Has anyone removed the door ding strip down the side of the car? Is it just tape on the back like others? I like the way Garret's looks without it.

Nice touch Duane.
Two thumbs up for you & your Monte.

If I painted the calipers on my silver '06 Monte I think I'd go with black.

Cowboy: looks great...
LIKE THE LOOK ON THE CALIPERS
wayne:
if you ever remove those intimadator badges and have no place for them keep me in mind... going through some financial woes and gma in hospital but would love a set of those logos to add to mine to match in with my liscence plate.. know its not an intimadator but it is a monte..
