'Eyeliner', nice lol.

The Camaro's below are what I was thinking of when I thought of the idea to pitch. Notice, both Camaros also have something black on the hood (the newer '86 has louvers and the '82-'84 model pictured in the bottom has the make believe hood scoops with the black coloring in the grooves for the scoops). Those would not work quite right on your Monte, but perhaps the motivator for a Ram Air hood on the Monte

But I think you can also see the curvy bumper difference on the Monte lends itself to have a different look/feel then on the Camaro. This would NOT be the first time a look from a 3rd gen Camaro was stolen for a 6th gen Monte (black/silver with red pin stripe on the Dale Earnhardt Sr. Monte was originally a scheme done on a 3rd gen Camaro, '84 if I recall correctly).





As for the spike strip on the rear, I personally would pass on that idea. For one thing, if you use a car cover on your Monte outdoors, those just complicate things. I don't even like the Onstar "shark fin".....

 

Yeah Evos have a cf one, thats actually an evo lol

 

thats the XM radio fin, onstar had that dinky little cellular antenna on the rear window.
I'd never put those spikes on the monte anyway, she's american not japanese.

 

Then GM is either putting that fine on non-XM cars or it is for OnStar. Such as my wife's '05 Impala is Onstar equipped, but not XM and it has the fin (no antenna mast, just the fin on the roof). And I have an '04 Monte, no XM, no OnStar, No fin, but I've seen other '04s with the fin....

Either way, I dislike the fin....

BTW - You're Monte's Canadian, but with American parents

 

Hand built by me and fellow Canadians here in my home town , and maniacs idea for the headlight paint it personally love I started a thread a while ago asking people's opinions on painting that area before the headlight and the foglight housing area,
Also like your ideas for vinyl that way you can go nuts with your imagination and if you get tired of it take it off np idk how long paint takes to get sun damage I don't know anyone who's had lines appear after removing vinyl that has been on for longtime in my area

 

The aftermarket black bezel headlights would look good with that "eyeliner" look. I agree with going vinyl for that just because it's easily removable if you ever want to remove it, like others have stated. Little bit of a tricky spot to lay vinyl but it can be done.

 

shhhhh....its close enough.

 

My wife had a '94 Grand Am, light blue. She started putting a breast cancer awareness ribbon magnet on the rear quarter. She would take it off to wash the car and then place it back in the same spot. I think it was after 2 months, you could remove the magenet and clearly see where it had been sitting (the paint was darker where the magnet was covering).

One thing I know some people complained about with the black bezel headlights was that their headlights no longer illuminated as well and was annoying the loss of visibility at night. I never tried them myself, so it's 2nd hand information.

LOL. Sorry, I can be a little too technical sometimes. It's all good.

 

I've heard the same thing. I know Mike (Chibi) got rid of his black bezel ones just for that reason. It's more of a personal preference. Maybe the lower light output is more of an issue on the 6th Gens because I haven't heard the same with the black bezel lights for the 7th Gens.

Also, I actually really like what you did with her picture taking the same idea as the 3rd Gen Camaro. It follows the body line, I approve of that look.

 

another idea... Jr eyes?
