yea Deerfield here. they had it right next to the supersonic blue carbon edition Z06 up front

ooo damn a 4 hour drive each way! So how did you get both hoods back in 1 monte? also didn't realize it's functional ram air, sweet! did you have his cold air kit too? When I get the Monte front bumper, spoiler and skirts that hood is for sure going on there. I'm still on the fence with the aftermarket lights tho, haven't hear the best things about them. maybe that was just with the halo's tho.

I'll be wide eye'd for a 45th edition camaro!

Yeah I've heard bad things about the halos, but after adjusting the black lights, i didn't notice a difference over stock.

That's awesome that they had it out front, i wish i had been there to take a pic! You didn't happen to snap one did you? haha

nope sorry man, but take my word for it when I say it was lookin nice next to that vette

I went there just to kill time because I was over that way during rush hour and still had to head west, but when I pulled in I was like ohhh hell yeaaa haha way better than what I was expecting even though they've always got the best Vette's and Camaro's in town

was real cool to see other people drooling over the pair of LS4 cars too, Bob Stasek seemed to really like the monte

wait, how'd u get both hoods back from indiana in 1 monte?

EDIT: I totally lied, I do have a pic haha...how do you post pics on here?

That's awesome.

Sweet! You can upload to photobucket or text me, i'll PM you my number.

And I didn't get both hoods back. I left the stock with Eric. He probably just trashed it but I didn't care haha. But I considered going hoodless there but it was threatening to rain/sleet when i went.
