Hello everyone!

I was wondering if anyone on the forum has put a black hood on their Monte. I think it might look pretty sweet with some black roof rails. Maybe a little expensive, but is it worth it? Opinions please!

Thanks,
Tyler

Hi Tyler,
I confused, but I get confused a lot ..Are you talking about a aftermarket fiberglass hood ? or just painting yours BLACK.

Please post more detailed on your Mod Dreams 4 your Monte and I'm sure many member's will post their thoughts.
What type of look are you going for ? <~> In you Mod $ budget....

If it were my Monte (but it's not ) I would put competition stripes (either Silver/white or even Black etc) for a updated look 2 your awesome Monte.

Look 4ward to your answers...Did my post confuse U 2 ? LOL ~> Good Luck with your decision 4-Sure..
Peace/Out from `Space

Inexpensive mod's with graphics for a new look ?
Monte Carlo decals graphics stickers stripes
and
00 01 03 04 05 Chevy Monte Carlo Rally Stripe Graphic | eBay

p.s. do you have more pic's of your Monte ?

Do you know how to photoshop ?
If, not maybe a member will photoshop some of your idea's to see what they might look like on your Monte ?

I was thinking more about the "ricer" hood. Some people just paint theirs black, or maybe even buy the carbon fiber hoods. People say it looks cheap, but it sure does turn heads. And if I go with the black hood, black roof rails, and maybe black racing stripes, I don't think it would look trashy at all because it would all be pulled together. And I have ALOT more pictures, I could post them, but I don't know how to post them in the actual body of the post. When I try to do it, I always have to attach them in multiple posts.
I actually took a photoshop class last semester, so I know the basics. I could try, but I'm just to lazy. :P

Hi Tyler,
Thanks for your addition infor on your plan.
First, how long do you plan on keeping your Monte ?
Every Mod or change can affect your trade in or sales price.
You might love what you've done, but future buyers or dealers may not & may deduct from their offer.
(Just something to consider), but saying that, it's your Monte & your Money, so do what makes you happy 4-Sure...

You should be able to post pictures in the MCF Gallery, give it another try & if it doesn't work, let us know..
Also ~>Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket <~ has a great free site for pic's...Check it `out...
Good Luck on whatever U decide....Peace/Out from `Space

I plan on keeping my Monte until it will no longer turn on, or gets crashed, or just fails. Basically, I plan on driving it into the GROUND! As my dad would say. Lol.

LoL ~> LoL...Sure hope it's not because of a crash
Check back to see what other member's suggest, but again it's your Monte, so do what you can afford & that makes you Happy 4-Sure...Oh, let us know & get some pic's posted...
We all love pic's of Monte Carlo's, & we will let you know if we like what you do or not..."But we won't throw stones, but just our words"~> The good/bad & ugly ones : )

Warning: Once you start Mod'in, it can be addicting & it's a very hard habit to break : ) Good Luck

I just posted an album in the gallery. Hope you all enjoy!

Also, since my parents don't trust me enough to install a full top swap, I'm looking into the ZZP SS m90 conversion kit. Hopefully I can get it cheaper than a grand, shopping between here, and clubgp.
