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.

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?

Thank you, you are correct it was not cheap for this project, all said and done it was about $1388, but to me it was worth it and i didnt see this hood getting done any cheaper. As for the banner, that is my dads old division when he was in the army, its actually my dads shop.

This is pretty accurate, when i called him back in june he was pretty hesitant to even do this project for me.

EDIT: it's Eric...lol
