Welcome to the site! Do you have a pic of your car? If you have a Black car with silver ground effects I would go with a silver graphic. It really is your choice, they do make rally stripes specific to the 00-05 Monte. Checkers are cool too. Also do you want the graphics to stand out a lot. If your car is all black a dark red would be a really cool color to use.

Welcome to the forum man.

Like Amy said, post up some pics so we can have an idea of what you have.

Red would be my vote to match the calipers, unless you have the silver ground effects or something else of some other color.

I personally like a clean look with no stripes...however, they can look really good too though. Member God_Bot has stripes on his Monte, and I think it looks really really good!

I would agree with Amy, if you have black with silver, then a silver stripe. Otherwise, red usually looks great next to black.
