Nice! I think it adds a little something to the car that makes it more unique.

I came up with the thought long ago and then saw it on PacerSS's Monte and that sold me on it.

I like the painted grill . But I do have a question ? Are you going to cut off about 8 inches of those tail pipes ? Or are you using those so you won't back into a curb ?

Ya know, everyone's a critic.... I think that is the most common thing people don't like about my Monte.

The tips were from the last owner of the car (they are bolt on). I honestly never had an issue with how they were mounted, so I've just left them....

It's just that you or someone else might rip your leg open when you walk around the back of the car. Hey its your car. You do it your way. I was just asking Never intended to hurt any feeling or shins

No feelings hurt.... Just I am amazed how many people comment about the tips (at least once a year I've heard some one say something about them). The tips on the car has non-sharp edges (actually kinda curled) so that's a plus, helps avoid some leg damage!!

I almost feel like I should get the car completely re-painted at the rate things are going. THere are some things annoying me about this process (and I'm trying to not worry until I see the final completed product). But it's getting to a point, I am actually getting a headache over these issues (since last night). That tells me I'm getting WAY stressed and hopefully for no reason....

I stopped and saw my Monte today, OH I feel much better. The new mix of paint looks like a PERFECT match (or very acceptable). I have to see it after he rubs it out and buffs it, but once he does that, I want to see it outside in the sun, I think everything I was concerned with will be a faded memory.

He even said he MIGHT have it done tomorrow (if so, I probably won't be able to pick it up until Sunday).
