Do whatever you'd like best Frank. The car will still look as awesome.

Well I'm still going to do it again, this time with 1.5" bars for the fender braces. These that I have are 2"
And I'll do a better polishing job on the mounts when I get some, I now have a dremel lol
For the STB I'm just going to leave that stock :p

The springs im definitely getting, should lower the rear much better than these eBay ones

Depending on how much time you put into the polished stuff I'd say $100 is too cheap.. I'd probably want $150-200 just to make a little income for all that time spent (and you could essentially get the springs for free if you got an extra 100 out of the polished stuff )

If you're not 100% pleased with the pieces you polished up, then go ahead and sell them. If you don't already have one, get a bench top buffing wheel. They're relatively cheap. And are a millions times better at buffing pieces, than using a dremel. Dremel is only good for small, hard to get to areas.

Are you de-modding your car? You put stock headlights back in your Monte? Or did I read that wrong?

I think 100 for you work is a good deal. As long as its not taking money out of your pocket
