I put that Performance plaque over my passenger airbag indicator light on the dash a couple years ago. Perfect fit, in case the monte and impala crew were wondering.

Well you know we have two seasons Hot and rain and cool and rain and I dont drive the car in the rain takes to long to get her clean again so I dont drive much. Even the GP doesn't get driven in the rain and shes 14 years old and use to be a DD for years

And I always likes this shot

Take a look at the underside of the hood I painted the underside to be as good as the top I had a warranty issue with the hood in 1999 were the adhesive atacked the metal and GM replaced it and the dealership here painted to match and color sanded buffed and cleared it. Now 10 years later
still look like new.
