that being said then the statistic that 70% of statistics are wrong can easily fall within the 70% and be totally wrong....lol
personally I think the huggar orange is an awesome color and who would want to paint their vehicle a color that's common anyway....sidepipes don't add to the appearance of a G body....if anything skirts belong on the side of a G body that is dropped an inch or 2...
you ever try something, car related or not, and then find that due to changes you can't use it anymore? i tried them, and i like them. other people like them too. i wish i could keep them and i want to keep them but i'm lowering the car too much--sh*t happens. so i figure that if someone else like 'em and wants them, here's everything they need. i don't understand why you see a problem with that, or someone "experimenting" with their cars look.
i like the way your car looks, but i would hate to have my car that color.
the cops here don't, and maybe can't, do anything about emissions.
I fail to see why it matters if someone does something minor like this that you do not like. Not everyone will like the style I am doing my car in. Some people I know do not get why I want a stock aesthetic to my rides. I have also been criticized for my love of white painted cars (other than my Cutlass-it will always be dark blue!). That's my style and it exists for some very functional reasons. Sidepipes may be someone else's style. It's not like the car is up on 30's with a 2 foot lift kit. THAT is the only style statement I feel is really horrid enough to warrant a multi-page thread full of castigation.

Style has nothing to do wityh it. when done right. I've seen "Pro-touring" montes dropped with bigger rims, montes set up for the track, montes with hydro's bouncing down the road, even donks that are done right look good, and you have to give them all respect because the car are all beautiful (in there own style). Throwing sidepipes on an otherwise stock Monte Carlo should not be misconstrued for style. The side pipes take away from the car and these cars are not the right shape etc. its not an opinion thing it is just not esthetically pleasing to the eye.
On the topic :lol: .
In Pa,your pipes have to exit "outside the body" and "rearward of any window/opening."
So in theory you could run sidepipes on just about anything ( Emission laws not withstanding).
Corvettes fit the rules.
I guess wagons are exempt ?!

who's sense of style though? which matters more, yours as a critic or mine as the owner? i've had quite a few people hear about it and say it'll look like crap. then they see it and the like it. do i expect, or care, if everyone likes my car? F&ck no!
aesthetics are OPINION, not absolute. i could say that there is very little aesthetically pleasing about your car. it's just another monte with a cowl hood, old fashioned wheels, and an old GM paint color. how original is "hugger orange " on a GM? i am NOT ******** on your car here, just demonstrating a point.
also, my monte is not stock and i will be getting more parts for it this year, (and next year and probably the year after that...:lol: )
