Not the biggest fan of it. You can tell you put a lot of hardwork into making this Monte your own though, and for that you get the points.

(it looks funny to me seeing an LS gauges and a steering wheel without radio controls)

thanks guys. im not 100% done with the design, I do want to make it seem like it flows a bit more, so expect some changes over the next few weeks. Plus, I want to get those rims on it to help add the look im aiming for.

the switches do a few things for me... all of the stuff in my car is hooked up directly to the battery. I have things like my underglow, interior LED's under the seats, my gps, radio, parking break override for my radio/dvd player, police detector, ect all hooked up to a switch.

The more I look at it the more it grows on me. I like that you are making it unique to you. Keep up the good work.

I like it actually. Kinda cool.

The only thing that I don't care for is the knight's crests on the rear pillars. I know they're stock on the LS models. But I think you should shave 'em off. Just keep the one on the front bumper.

I kinda like it.. I like the fact he is daring to be differant.. I love the look of the racing seats and the red and black color combo.. Keep up with the good work and standing out

Nope...not feeling it. If you're gonna go autoxing in that thing...then I guess I can see the racing seats...if you're just crusing...then no.

I guess to each his own, but it looks a little thrown together. A two-tone paint job would have been completely different



Like this guy, except without the hideous rims.

The only hideous thing on that Monte IS the two tone paint job.
Rims are ok.
