Your 00 Monte is looking extra sharp with your functional MPD "Ram Air" hood. I'm willing t go out on a limb and say you will probably be one of the last few to do this mod. You had to reach deep into your pocket for this bit of work. Hell a custom hood plus shipping, painting and installation. Some times you have to just say "What the heck" and go for it and get it done. Now look at your Monte, sweet & tough looking, extra nice mod for sure. :congrats:

Now what sic mod will you being doing next, just so you keep broke like the rest of us... "Coil overs?"

What's up with the 82nd Abn Div. banner on your wall, you a jumper, or is that at the shop that did your hood?

I actually called the guy who does these a few days ago. Even though the paypal link is not there anymore on the Monte Carlo section, you can still call and he will do it. He said he'll phase it out by next summer.

Had the hood made by MPD1, so not sure exactly how he makes them but I'd have to guess he takes the bottom of the hood or the frame off of a stock hood and molds the fiberglass how he wants on top.
