Nice way to change over and get a whole new appearance. Nice you have the chrome lugs and will do some silver lip accents. Your on to something giving your Monte her own makeover. Love at first sight, aww! Think you hit a home run, way to go...

I would the next time you have the tires replaced see about having those unsightly wheel weights removed. They have a self adhesive style that mount out of sight to the inside of the rim.


I blurred out the rest to focus on the weights. Yuck

Black rims are always a great way to give a car a tougher look! Good choice!

Thanks guys!!
I know those things are so ugly... But I'm afraid that they will be staying on there for a while, especially since that would require me to paint again.... I don't see why they couldn't use either the stuck in ones or put those on the inside.. Oh well
I owned a gold Monte Carlo same year a few cars ago and hated it... Now I really like this one, idk what's different..
Next I think I will be painting my engine cover
