Looks awesome! Well done! I almost think you need to paint your show-n-go-hide-away-plate black to hide it more (at first I think you still had front license plate clips on the bumper).

Really goo though! I like the black trim (instead of the chrome) on the hood.

Well done! You're making your Monte one of the coolest LS' out there. I know this sounds crazy, but I think you should top this off with a 3900 swap.

Regardless, you've made your Monte a looker. I can dig it

They look to work pretty well with your whole design scheme. Overall very nice efforts, happy your on schedule for the summer now...
Thanks zippy. The wheels are 18''

I agree. Initially I only painted the license plate part because I thought that was the only part you were going to be able to see. Now that I got it mounted it's clear I should just paint the rest of it. I'll have to pull it off again

Thanks zipper! I'd love to do an engine swap. I don't really have the best set up right now with no garage but it's crossed my mind I'd love to have a monster under the hood like you do!

Thanks man, yeah I forgot to mention I also color matched the side markers. They never worked so I just decided to paint them. It makes it look cleaner I think
