Default Possible ground fx painting

I've always liked the two colors of black and lime green, and will slowly work some into my Monte as I go. Definitely going to powder coat my caliper's in this color once breaks are due I will replace them and get this done on some upgraded hardware, and have a few other idea's in mind as well to come with future mods.

That said, do you guys think this would be too much? Like I said I love this color combination, used it all the time when I raced, but a street car is a little different :p Photoshopped it here on another monte to get an idea.

Lime green inlays for the SS badges as well?? The ground effects would be awesome though! Blacked out tails too if you're a fan of those..

I say do it! I love that color combo as well.. possibly one of my favorites and I have yet to see it on a Monte so that would be amazing IMO

personally not a fan.

Black and Green is all too common on Hondas and Monster energy drinks.
