Default Push Bars

Has anyone thought about putting push bars onto their Monte? My car is all blacked out... well mostly and have been told it looks like a cop car(I think it does as well).

I think push bars would be a neat addition, any suggestions on how to go about it?

Here's a picture I made up with my car:

It's more of an aesthetics thing

Yeah, I know, but I feel like you'd just be added un-needed weight, even if it is only 20 pounds or so.

To each his own I suppose haha

Hmm the weight thing is definitely a good argument I'll keep that in mind.

Do it! I think it looks cool on there, sort of like a cop car

I made a crappy photoshop of a push bar on my Monte a while back.. The one you pictured looks a lot better though.

I've had a few people ask if I actually did it they weren't sure if it was Photoshoped :P. Guess my skills as a photographer have paid off :P
