Default Push Bar

I am thinking I would like to have a Black push bar on the front of the MOANTE like the ones NYPD have. That and black wheels I think would look too bad ***....

I wouldn't do it. But to each their own. Do what you like. Would be okay if you had a 9C1 Impala. Just seems like it would be a little out of place on a Monte. Black wheels will look BA though.

Well picture it, If I came up fast from behind with a push bar on the front...I think it would make people get out out of my way...that and an air horn! Considering the the traffic I had to combat this weekend I think it would be a novel idea!

Well like I said it's a thought....I think it would look really bad ***, think Blues Mobile. I really like how the NYPD Impalas look with them on...Hell maybe it would help keep the nose down on a hard take off! I just saw a video of my car running at the track and I had no idea it squatted that much! Not that I really had any traction issues, but I'm sure it didn't help to use all that energy to try and flip the car like that....

No no no no don’t do it. Ever since I got the GXP I couldn’t figure out why everyone would do 50mph when id come up behind em then speed up after id pass. Till a buddy of mine pointed out I got a white car with funny headlights and when I come up behind people they think I’m a cop. It definitely pisses you off when 50% of the people you get behind slows down to 5 under the speed limit then speed up when you pass.

Maybe it would keep the front down at the track, but it's also adding weight. Benefits might cancel each other out. They're not exactly light.

although i dont like the pushbar u posted, i do think if ur car is black, put an all black one, simple.. i thought about it. wanna do it with a murdered out impala but 200 for one of those badboys is a bit too pricey for me..

and its not just looks, i think your car will suffer a bit if u bump into **** alot lol
