Personally, I wouldn't put the ones in the front bumper. But that's just me. I would put it in the rear bumper instead. But not if I had the one on the trunk lid.

Did they cut the sheet metal body for the "Monte Carlo" on the sides and trunk lid? It looks cool. But I'd be afraid if I ever got tired of it, I'm stuck with cut up body panels that would not be easy to fix.

Very nice custom illuminated touch. I like the graphics on the hood!

I really like the idea but I wouldnt do the front personally just beacause it only looks right when your faceing the car (backwards in the rearview). It would really look sweat if you could get the lights to fade on and off or from one side to the other it could be done with LED's.

They just look like reflective decals that caught the light from the camera flash.

Not sure if the picture will show up, or if I'll get a red X. But here goes...

This is the first pic with the lights in the front bumper.

Thats pretty sweet, I especially like the ones on the side. So when its etched in how do you keep dirt out of it, plexiglass?
