has this Monte been wrecked ?! advise please
#31
A lot of factory cars (including at least some year 6th gen Montes) have painted hood bumpers. I thought the same of my Monte (that I knew was in an accident) until a saw another, never been wrecked Monte with painted hood bumpers. I don't know WHY the factory paints them (as the paint never holds).
Please post what you find out. We're curious about what the official verdict is.

UPDATE! went around to body shops today and got opinions ... all three concluded that it had been in a fender bender... the support that holds the head lights is cracked and broken... when that happened it pushed the hood and that latch is loose thats what has been making the hood bounce a little and look funny along with the support... im going to get the fenders straightened out too... its also missing a couple clips and the lights arent too secure so that has something to do with the spaces and such...
i really need to get a new hood 550$ plus D:.. but im going to get that latch welded at the base until i can afford a good ... no body things the radiator support is pushed in (thousands in repairs) so thats a plus...
all and all im looking at 240 to get the support, fenders realigned , clips and welding ... thats do able i guess lol
Thanks to all , it really helped.
