Welcome to the MCF family. Glad to see you've made your Monte YOUR Monte. I disagree about the spoiler. Leave it off. But another suggestion: Since the sides are shaved of emblems, shave the back also, at least of the dealer's sticker. Myself, I'd remove the bowtie, also, and put on maybe a white outline bowtie instead. Doesn't the Tony edition have a white bowtie on the back?

yes, it does.
i think it's the only model that does??
i spent hours online trying to find them when my car was in the shop. i couldn't find anything but the black and red ones.

i went to a dealership that had a 00-05 model LT with a surfboard spoiler, and ehh... it just wont look right with the way my car looks, i like the 00-05 impalas and monte's without a spoiler
and as for the shaving trunk emblems, ive been wanting to do that for a longgg time, but i dont wanna mess the paint up, i got a bow tie, dealeship emblem, and a "monte carlo" emblem, i wanna take all of em off, can someone tell me maybe how to do it properly without having to take the paint off?
and i appreciate everyone taking the time to comment, keep em coming

Again, Beautiful Monte.
Removing the badges are easy. What i found that works for me every time is to to first warm them up with a blow dryer. That will start to heat up the adhesive. Then while its still warm, use dental floss and start sliding it back and forth behind the badge. Once its off. Use GOO GONE. Its perfect for something like this. After clean up, use soap and water, a little compound to level it off, then wax.
