RE: Pimp My Ride ... Please!
I'm losing the big, white BowTie off the rear window. I bought that off eBay when I got the Monte and got a Jones for being a Chevy-Guy. Nobody likes it and it just obscures the view out of the rear window.
Thanks for the kind words about the tops "Uniqueness". OK, it stays! I do need tires and whatever I get have to go with them wheels. The wheels are staying; too! I just need to know what to shop for in a tire that will be a performer, last for a couple years and look good; too. |
RE: Pimp My Ride ... Please!
ORIGINAL: 2000LS i'm thinkin the top is fighting with the rest of the car and the top being so rare, i think should win out... i think the rest of the car looks more aggressive though... i think it'd look good with all the emblems/ bowties off of it, and some newer 17's off a caddy. i think having a spoiler, different hood, or stripes would be out of place on a car with that top |

RE: Pimp My Ride ... Please!
ORIGINAL: RickCoMatic There's nothing I can do about the top. I stopped off at a Body Shop and asked if they thought it would be possible to remove it and they said: "Not without doing some serious damage to the paint job. You'd be looking at having to have the whole car painted." So, the Top is staying on the Monte 'cause I don't have the bread to get the Monte re-painted ... just to have the Vinyl top go bye-bye. But, if this Monte gives me a couple of years worth of fun driving and no big lay-outs for repairs ... I'll consider having her painted and spoiler-ed in the future! I'm just going to work at keeping it clean and detailed. Running as good as I can keep it running. Which IS pretty darn good at the moment. I inched it up over three figures this afternoon chasing a Beemer on 495. Purring! I'll wash it and oil it and treat it right and try not to beat on it. No burn-outs! And, ... maybe I'll get over 100,000 miles on it someday! It's going to be fun trying. Me and Mobil-1 |
RE: Pimp My Ride ... Please!
I know it's not exactly what you asked for, but I think it looks hot
Mustard and mayo tires with spoke rims, cat back exhaust http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y20...ARPROFILE1.jpg and my fav, added tint http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y20...RPROFILE12.jpg |
RE: Pimp My Ride ... Please!
The top can stay. But the car looks nekked without a spoiler. All Montes do. A race inspired spoiler would be too much on the car. So my vote (as before) would be a surf board spoiler so it won't take away from the roof.
Rick, I asked MTV to pimp your car for you. A. They weren't quite sure what a Monte should look like? B. No one at the shop MTV hired knew either? C. They ran short of funding 1/2 way in to the project. D. It was friday and the shop wanted to get the car done so they could go out drinking. So......... Hope you like it?

[:-] Turned Rick's Monte into a Ford Pinto Cruz'in Wagon with a 4 Banger 0r V 6 : )[:-] :eek:07 HHR's have a small panel truck : ) Will have 2 find one to outshine the pinto : ) |
RE: Pimp My Ride ... Please!
I've seen a few of these around, I would much rather have one of these then the normal HHR's.
http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.au..._hr037_450.jpg http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.au..._hr082_450.jpg HHR Panel Truck I had a go at the stripes and I can tell you this, I have no idea as to how the hood/trunk is curved on the 00-05's so my pen tool tried lying to me and it turned out terrible, I didn't even save the attempts, then again maybe it was just the angle I was working at. I'll try a different picture in a few minutes, but black doesn't fit all that well to my eyes so I'm going to try a few other colors as well. |
