Beautiful!

I agree with Dennis - looks fantastic, Willie - nice work!!!

WOW! Great photos, and beautiful cars!!!!!!

Glad your surgery went well, Darren! Congrats on the Monte.

Glad he's doing better!

Nice job!!!!

Thanks Willie! Actually, I never sanded mine (Larry mentioned sanding his earlier in the thread). I just cleaned with mineral spirits and 3M adhesive remover and then polished them.

Very sorry to see your recovery isn't very smooth. I'll continue to keep you in my prayers - get well soon!

I wanted to keep the factory-look, so I just cleaned and polished mine. Some use a semi-gloss black to match the rest of the underhood area. As far as marching the factory dark brown, I don't think you could match it with any color, because of the visible fibers that are molded into it. Here are a couple more photos of the factory finish:

My thoughts and prayers as well, Rob - get well soon.

Nice job, Rodney!!!

Hope it all works out to your satisfaction, Mike!

Great-looking Monte! Love the color. Sounds like you've got big plans for the motor - should be awesome!

Hey Austin, No one is picking on you - everyone here loves photos, and it's a good-natured "informal rule" that when upgrades are made to a member's car, or if something else good (or bad) occurs, photos are posted as well. Often, one can learn from or get ideas for his/her own car from a photo or series of photos. I know I have. As they say, "one picture is worth 1000 words." So don't take it personally - I think just about everyone here has had "no pictures, didn't happen" directed at them as well at one time or another.

The Parts Place has them: http://www.thepartsplaceinc.com/ocatalog...ord=crossmember They also have the metal brackets.

Looking good!

After cleaning mine up, I used Mother's plastic polish and a Powerball (actually their headlight restoration kit). It turned out a lot better than I expected. In order to clean off the accumulated grease, sealant, etc., I used either 3M adhesive remover or 100% mineral spirits - neither of which damaged the plastic/fiberglass.

Sounds familiar!

Your Monte looks great!!!

Really turned out NICE!!

NICE!!!

Abe - here are the instructions included with my NOS set of rear bumper guards (it also shows the front guards - I don't know if or how many Montes actually have the top bracket depicted). A very basic template was also included - I'll mail copies to you - I still have your address.

I've got one for the rear as well (in case Rob can't find his).

Beautiful!!!!
