ElmonteSS ohh **** i forgot to attach

Haha DOH!


45 psi is a little high for our cars, the sweet spot is right around 35 psi. Probably a good reason why your traction was suffering.


Edit: Nice looking Monte! I'm definitely a fan of your grill, did you put that on? If so, where did you get it?

Can we get some pics of the entire front end to see both grills and the "monte carlo ss" across the front. Interesting!
