Default Lets see your Car Show Signs!

I know a lot of you enjoy showing your Monte and I've seen a few posters/boards/signs floating around but it's been a while since I've seen a thread on one!

I played around the other night and made one! Most of my mods are un-installed so no I won't be using this until everything's done LOL! L36 Supercharger Kit Stage 2 is on the way from ZZP (some of you may recall that I picked up a polished Gen III that I sent them to have ported). New rails, injectors, machined lower intake manifold, etc. are all coming as part of the kit. More than likely I'll be purchasing the SS Intercooler (seeing how it's my only option with this kit) so I'm delaying the install until I have everything. Thinking about picking up 2 more aeroforces and aluminum valve covers too but I need more $$$

Anyways, here's what I came up with. (I used Amy's awesome illustration of the 6th gen knight's crest, hope that's OK! I haven't printed it yet so...)



(My favorite part is the Daily Driven by Me LOL!)

Thanks for looking! Now let's see yours! I need more inspiration as mine's pretty basic but then again I don't want anything that distracts from the car, only something that adds

If anyone wants something like this done all I really need is some preferences and some hi-resolution images, mod list, etc! All of this can be yours for one low price of $FREE haha, won't guarantee a show win but I enjoy making these types of things so if anyone's interested and I have some free time, feel free to pm me.

You should take that sweet 5th gen to some if you get a chance! Show worthy for sure in my opinion! And it's black

that's the basic one huh. Looks pretty nice to me. It looks like it could be in a magazine ad or brochure.

Thanks Lou LOL! Idk what I meant by basic. I more so meant simple IDK

I just wanted to keep the font simple and easily read. And I only featured one image of the car. Some of the various signs I've seen at car shows have loads of images of the car when you can clearly see the car! I was debating even including one! Just looking for opinions and to see what other Monte Owners like to feature on theirs

I like to think of it as my extended signature

Mine has plenty of scratches and dings! No shame from me. I've learned not to expect my car to stay mint (not that it ever was haha) seeing how it's daily driven, 11 years old, and just passed 84k miles

A bra would probably hide quite a bit though and sometimes can really look great! Let me know if you find any shows. Be sure to get some pictures if you can!

Thank you! I probably won't be adding much to it at this point.
