Hmmm, I'm thinking maybe you're going to have the gold accents come down the side (kind of like how the 6th gen ram air looks)... something like this;

Hmm... lets see.

You're gonna paint the inside of the headlights body color? That's something I tried on my Grand Am. And would love to try it on the Monte if I ever get a spare set.

Or are you putting the Monte Carlo knight's crest on the front; like this corvette's emblem in the picture?

No Seriously I have an idea that I have not seen on any 7th gen monte.. 6th or 5th for that matter. I have to see if Jeff at mason auto body can do it - I have seen it on old school vettes and like it (70 - 80ish vettes)

Ain't telling till I post the finished pics. Hopefully they can take the Deuce on Wednesday when I take it in for the estimate. Mason Auto Body is always busy...it may be next week before they can even touch it. Then knowing Jeff he will want the car for at least a week but it is worth the wait cuse they do it right before they release the car.

Just ordered still another mod for the Deuce tonight for Jeff to install..it will be in on the 24th just in time

Can't wait!!!
