Congrat's on getting them in finally. It looks better that without them. It looks like something is missing without them in.
I agree with the surfboard spoiler, altho I'm not usually a fan of them. The vert' spoiler just wouldn't look right.
How about a set of 18" chrome wheels someday?

LOL, oh yeah, we'll happily spend your loot Rick.

The lights look great, and I'm very impressed with all of the things you've done with your Monte so far. First one I've ever seen with the vinyl top.

You might try photoshopping the spoilers, (or ask one of our great members to help you out) before making a commitment either way or at all.

if you try the photo shoping my car is a white ss with the surf bord on it.

I would love to have the stand up version but havent found one that will bolt on and at the right price as of yet.

Some daytill then i will keep rockin the surf bord being the only one left in the world with it i think lol

OH nice lights!! I like the cars so much better with them in stead of the dummy vents there.

but have to ask are they a cut out for the caps in there or are they a screw in cap?

Somebody would have to help me with that one. I don't know how and lack the experience to even get a picture the right size to go along with my text on Monte Carlo Forum. I did draw-up a dual-relay sketch thae will get my Fog Lighths to come-on with either the High or Low Beams. Its going to be comparatively easy to do. The hardest part being the tapping-off from the High and Low Beam power to trigger the Relays that will be coming right off the the Power Distribution Block -- fused, and following the wiring harness and all color-coded the right way so it don't look all Mickey Moused when you have the hood up.

I'm funny about details like that.
I know it won't upset the function in any way; I just want them to look professionally installed.

If anybody is inclined to grab a picture of my Monte and PhotoShop a Spoiler on it ... it it looks good I might be able to get the funding from The First Bank of Everything Done, my wife, who does like the Monte and who thinks I did a miracle when I changed the filthy, original Air Filter and brought the Highway mileage up to the high 20's!
Takin' care of the little things.
One at a time.

Well I'm glad somebody is getting a laugh out of it. I've been in an uphill struggle with this Monte ever since I popped the hood and tried to figure-out how in blazes you change the darn firewall side Plugs.
Hey, water under the bridge now. Live and learn.
Monte Carlo Forum to the rescue.

I just meant that I didn't want somebody to look in my engine compartment and find a plastic wire tie and duct tape festival holding things together. I want to have it have a well engineered look.

Kind of the way I learned doing things when I was working on cars while working my way through college. The Shop Manager always said that the customer doesn't mind paying for a job that looks professionally done.

This summer, when the Car Boys all meet on Sunday afternoon and openn their hoods to show-off the speed goodies and the engine compartment details ... I may be showing-up Stock ... but, I will be looking good!

No Chrome. Just clean as a whistle and tight as parade snare drum.
I wanna get an A for detailing!
