Washed the Monte today, for the second time of 2011.
 
Finally washed my car today. She has new headlight and a spoiler I picked up from the salvage yard. I added the Knight Shields between the door and front wheels from an '87 Monte Carlo Luxury Sport from the salvage yard.

I like the knight shields. Did you have to drill holes in the car to put em in?

7498MonteCarlo 05-31-2011 08:32 PM

Nope. 3M double sided foam tape.

RickAKATed10 06-02-2011 10:44 AM

Clean. Now paint the spoiler to match! lol

7498MonteCarlo 06-02-2011 02:31 PM

Naw man, I like it black! Stand out more, and blends nicely with the trunk panel.

77gp 06-02-2011 04:03 PM

Shields look like they were made for it. Looks good.

SpinEm_90 06-02-2011 06:48 PM

looking good! I can't believe you have only washed your monte twice this year lol i've washed mine probably at least 20 times so far this year

7498MonteCarlo 06-02-2011 07:05 PM

It's only the second time I've washed it, because of the bad weather here. Lots of rain and formerly snow. The last time I took it through the automatic wash in January, I got a flat tire. So, no more of that. If it's not nice enough to wash by hand...not getting done.

Jon 06-02-2011 07:51 PM

I like it black as well!
Very nice pictures

7498MonteCarlo 06-02-2011 07:56 PM

Thanks Jon

Fantastic addition with the sheilds. I've been wanting to do the same with mine. Very clean, great work!

JaxJim 06-03-2011 11:44 AM

Looks great.

Have you done something to get the black taillight panel to look so shiny and new, or is it just in really great condition. My taillight panel is dull and faded. Miguires plast-x shined it up briefly, but the shine fades fast, and looks dull again in a week or so.

I was considering clear coating the panel.

I like the black, too...yesterday I followed a two-tone Monte that looked kinda interesting in a good way. The upper half was black, bottom was silver. I like that type of customizing - it really makes the car your own!

Likin those shields !

BigPana 06-03-2011 08:03 PM

Thats a pretty sharp Monte !!!!

7498MonteCarlo 06-03-2011 08:10 PM

Thanks everyone!

PUNK LIFE 06-03-2011 10:16 PM

nice!

KJRich 06-04-2011 06:37 PM

Car looks good. I like the looks of the fifth gens. They SHOULD have had the shields on them from the factory. The first thing I'm going to do if I ever buy a fifth gen is put some knight shields on it somewhere.

7498MonteCarlo 06-07-2011 01:31 PM

Went to salvage today, and grabbed a Monte Carlo Z34 front bowtie.

The front and rear bowties have been changed to red Z34 ones. Now, all I have to do is replace the wheel caps with red bowtied ones.

Cleaned my interior all nice today. Last week, I shampooed the carpet and floor mats, and today I vacuumed it out real well, cleaned the dash & consul, and put some leather conditioner on the seats.

Also, my over flow tank and shock tower were caked with oil and other crap. So, after a lot of mineral spirits and paper towels, I got them clean.
