Car looks great, but in my book, it crosses a line when you start putting SS badges on a nice looking LTZ. Anyone remember when every Integra around had a giant Type R sticker on the back?

I say get rid of the SS badges and put the LTZ back on there

I don't know about that....I put an SS emblem on the rear of my '07 LT, just cuz I wanted it to be an SS but I couldn't afford one when it came time to buy a new car. I love seeing the "SS" there every time I walk to the car. In my mind, putting a Trans Am firebird decal on the hood would have been crossing a line! (I always wanted a mid-'80's Trans Am but couldn't afford that either) :p

ChevyChick: welcome to the Forum. I think your car looks beautiful with the changes you've made. Making those changes is what makes it YOUR Monte!

I'm not a fan of SS emblems on any other models and then trying to pass it off as an ss but if you just put it on there because you like it I say go for it.
chevychick Nice looking mods on your monte, keep it up.

^^^This^^^... I also believe the SS designation should stay with SS models... That being said personalizing your ride is absolutely cool, including tribute vehicle mods as long as it is clear that it is a replica... Just my opinion...... Your car is lookin sweeeet...
