eyelids/body kit questions
 
so thanks to HIxArsenaL and his thread
** https://montecarloforum.com/forum/pa...eyelids-44475/ **

I am now obsessed with the eyelid look, the one thing im not a huge fan of with my monte is the front end, i tend to like more boxy looking cars
the back of my monte with the exhaust tips is perfect for me, the front i feel needs some love - also never really loved the shape of the headlights tbh

so questions for everyone!

1) plastidip doesn't have my exact color so would doing eyelids in black on my car still look good?
2) would just getting the front bumper look good or would it be extremely obvious that the rest of the kit is missing and make me look cheap and dumb

thinking about getting:
** Chevrolet Monte Carlo Duraflex Racer Front Lip Under Spoiler Air Dam - 1 Piece - 104371 by Extreme Dimensions **

or something similar if cheaper
thanks in advance guys : )

guess I should toss up a pic of my car so you don't have to travel to my garage

I just plasti dipped all my emblems black, and unfortunately don't have a good pic of the front of my car clean

also thinking about dipping my rims black to go with the look can't afford new wheels atm so trying that out to see if i like it

but thinking the eyelids will be a huge help, and the bumper would be a nice touch if you guys think it'll still blend in with the rest of the car

Good looking ride...:thumbsup:... Not sure if it would look out of place since you don't have the Hi Sport package, perhaps someone could Photoshop it... I too really want the same effect, might try this one out...:)... Only down side is that it will definately scrape if not very careful on a lowered car... Thanks for the link and good luck...:thumbsup:

actually don't think HIxArsenaL's monte has any body kit other the the front bumper and it looks pretty sweet :P but I could be wrong

only problem with the Hi Sport is I don't care too much for the back bumper, having two cutout for the exhaust just doesn't look as mean as having them hanging there - it's like boxers vs. briefs :P and im a boxers kind of guy haha

wait, I think I may be confusing Hi Sport's rear bumper for another kit - just looked at your monte Crusader and i do like the back of it

Thanks... From time to time you can find members selling the pieces you would need at a reasonable price... Like you, the only aspect I am not really happy with is the front lip...:)

My personal taste I think You would at least need lowered side skirts. The back bumper I think would still look good with the rest but you can always buy the front bumper now then wait to other pieces become available. as long as the front bumper is painted fine without looking a different color. Then it should look fine temporary.
