I also love the pic with everything covered on your Monte except the surface to be re-painted on the trunk lid! That's awesome (like a surgical look)!!

Drool... how does the all grill work? Do you just slide it in or does it clip into place or do you have a lot of cutting? also, why not keep the shield instead of the bowtie? Not that I don't love the look of it, just asking curious questions.

The SLP Grille is just simply a piece of plastic that you use body molding adhesive and put it on.

The knight's crest gets removed so it fits, and the decal of the bow-tie comes with, and matches my car very well. I am going to do something with the Knight's Crest on the Engine Cover.

Oh no you didn't! Were you reading my mind? Please don't say it is going on the bolt that holds the cover on.

Hey Everyone!!! I hope you are all doing good!

Mike the Monte is looking awesome as usual!

Lisa those pics are looking great, thanks for posting for all of us to see!

Have a great evening everyone.

Oh an Space, yep I am using just about every extra hour I have to make some money! LOL!

BTW, you know the egging of my car situation? Well yesterday I ordered a chip repair kit, it was $68 bucks, but I figured it was worth ever last penny if it fixes it pretty well. If not, well i'm out 68 bucks and back at square one. LOL. But I think it might work. Its the same type of paint repair method they use at detail shops for chips in the hood, except its an exact color match based on your paint code. So I have my fingures crossed it works well. i really don't want to cough up the money to repaint that quarter panel right now...I'll keep eveyone posted on it after i get the kit and try it.

I'm hoping Saturday that I will get my new struts installed, KYB Gr2'S ALL around. Then I want to put the new EBC slotted rotors on (all 4 wheels) with new pads. Then Sunday I am hoping to put my new tires on! I need new tires soooooo bad its not even funny. I have 4 brand new Michelin Hydroedge tires waiting on the side of the house to be installed!

Then next weekend I am due for maintenance again. LOL. I flipped 125,000 miles about two weeks ago, which means its time for my tranny fluid and coolant to be changed again. And then i'll do the oil a little early while i'm under there....

Mod Mike, the car is looking good.

Today was rough at school. One of the students I am working with has severe behavior issues. He is the kid you see at the grocery store screaming, yelling, throwing objects, and hitting everyone. He is a temper tantrum waiting to happen, but I get paid pretty good to be there so I am good to go.

I am leaving for Vegas on Monday. Mod JJ, not sure what my friends have planned. I will be on here on my droid while down there so we can try and connect. If we don't this trip then I will be down again soon and we will for sure.
