They look terrible.

Just kidding! Seriously, those are of the best looking wheels I've seen on a Monte Carlo! Excellent choice

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I wanted a more aggressive/sportier look for the Monte and they did look similar to Corvette wheels that's why I mostly went for them. I'm also glad to help inspire others. Everything I've done was because of someone else's idea here.

What do u guys think about maybe putting the Monte script on the side or maybe just a silver bow-tie or something? I know its the wrong gen and all but It could work. Maybe paint the script the same body color to make it blend in and not be too out there like a sore thumb but be hidden.

I really feel it needs something there but also I don't want to clutter it up too much.

I disagree! It doesn't need more - your car looks fantastic! I actually think the pinstripe is a little too much, but that's just me. I don't think our cars need that pinstripe there - its kinda redundant.

But I understand that you'd want to keep adding. We all love our MonteCarlo and don't want to stop "playing" with them. That one good reason for dressing up under the hood instead. Its hard to go "too far" with that...

Yes that was Trinity Park. The weather was great on Sat not to mention today and the rest of the week.

I kinda thought of leaving whats on there for now and fix up the engine/ interior some now. The engine does need cleaning/paint also need and exhaust and trunk lid mat.

I think they look amazing! The whole car looks great! If you were to change anything...I'd only do these 2 things, maybe, debadge the monte carlo off the trunk & take the lil gm badges off the side but even with them on the monte still looks amazing!
