what do you guys think? Im hoping to put a design on the red quarter window, but want to stay away from the bow-tie and "monte carlo". so... overused in my opinion. anyone have any good ideas?

Paint the ground effects black and I think you're good to go!

yeah i have to agree with the over use of the monte carlo and the bowtie. but i think alot of it is not the over use of them that bugs me as much as the lack of imagination on how or where to use them .
this is why i did the flames on my front windsheild after seeing ever one doing the monte carloSS on thiers i had to change mine again. when i first got my car it was the only one i had seen with that on the front windsheild with in about 6 months of it i found hudreds on line for it LOL

Looks nice but you shouldn't have blocked out the rear windows IMO

Also try some black pin striping.

The Monte looks good.

I like the idea of blacking out the ground effects. On a red car I think it adds to the style.

Hope this isn't too stupid of a question but what is the red cover on the windows? Is it tint?

My favorite mods are the red and blach mirrors and the red inserts in the seats. Was that stock? I agree on the black ground effects, but I don't care for the red side windows. My opinion, tint looks better. Red calipers are nice. What about under the hood? My '01 SS LE had a custom painted engine shroud. Cheap easy mod.
