James, you have a beautiful rare `Monte.
I love the rims, tips & tint. I don't care for
bra's on women or cars, but they do add
protection & they are fun to take `off.

Yea I was really pissed after I took the pics to look at them and see the POS across the street in the drive. Gotta love some of my neighbors. That isn't even their car, just a friend visiting them.

Nice LTZ.

Not sure if you're interested but a local body shop told me to stay away from bras (the car kind).

They said dirt, and small stones can get trapped under them and wear the paint.

Well for the tips, wheels, wheel center caps and installation for everything about $2k.

On the side-topic of bras, I concur with what you've heard. I had a very nice custom bra on
my car for over a year. It looked sharp (black on black) but it's a semi-permanent committment.
If you ever decide to take it off to see your beauty au naturale, you'll be annoyed at the effect the bra
has had on your paint. I'll be having some paint work done here in the next few months (mostly for
chips/dings, etc.) and I doubt I'll be putting the bra back on after.

A guy I've known for many years owns a sharp restored black '57 BelAir Hardtop. (aren't they all?)

He used to run his '57 with a bra on it. Not any more.
