Anyone know if these were Factory options or Aftermarket? I'm taking them off due too excessive peeling and am thinking about putting new ones back on. Thanks guys.

I think its an option... not 100% sure though. You can find some aftermarket ones too.

(slight variation, but same concept)

Not bad. I was also thinking about painting them on, then I wouldn't have too worry about peeling for a long, long time. I always figured if I did that though I would just paint the whole car and make it black, but that's just wishful thinking.


I'd probably miss the Laser Blue anyway. Haha.

well if you are planning on keeping that decal design for as long as you have the car then i would just get them painted on the car, but that's just my opinion.

I don't believe those were an option. Looks like an Auto Trim Design to me.

I don't think those graphics were a factory option...I think the previous owner put those on.

Have you thought about just taking them off, and leaving them off? I personally like the nice clean sides...

MAMONTE, I have thought about it but I like how they made it stand out. When I first bought it I hated them but they grew on me. Now everyone knows my car and that's always a good feeling.....except when it comes to cops. Haha.

That's a nice Monte you have there.
IMO it would look at lot better without them on the sides.

I did a LOT of graphic work on my car...

Example : https://montecarloforum.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=15117


if you want to put them on, do it! its your car, and you can make it look however. I spent a LOT of time on my car making it look unique and loved it till I sold it. Personally, the decal isnt my thing, but im not 100% on a flag look on a car. theres many ways to make your car stand out and be something YOU like. explore your options!
