I don't see much different with that rear with the exception that it's flat all the way across the trunk.

AznGA · 07-30-2004, 12:34 AM

Looks same to me.

AMRAAM4 · 07-30-2004, 05:15 AM

Still a hideous and ugly looking car.

How do these even sell?

2003GAGT · 07-30-2004, 06:32 AM

Way too blurry to tell but it looks like they slapped a ford taurus front clip on that thing.

mr_eh · 07-30-2004, 06:52 AM

they bastardized the headlights!

my dad has an 02 ss, its a hideous ****ing card, handles like ****, suffers from the same hard pull to the left the grand prix's do when flooring it... i dont like anything about the car, the interior is boring too, down with monte carlos!

Everyone I see driving a Monte Carlo has a NASCAR hall of fame of stickers in the back window, and license plate frames and everything else...

mr_eh · 07-30-2004, 07:30 AM

my dad hates nascar, he had an 86 monte carlo and thought that the car would have some balls (which it does... in 01 there wasnt anything really out there for 30k)

its a nice looking car, the supercharged 04's are nice, but they are heavier then the gtp's i believe... and gtp's own the **** out of monte carlos in the interior department (digital boost gauge?...)

Vintalage · 07-30-2004, 07:30 AM

Those headlights look like they are straight off the 1998 - 2002 Lincoln Towncar.

Still looks ugly. I wonder how these sell too? Do people not have taste?

Do these come with a Hans Device?

P.S. What the hell is this even more hideous version I often see with the ground effects and dual exhaust that routes through the back bumper. I think it has big "TS" decals or something.

I've seen them, or atleast one, a black one I saw at the mall one day. Guy driving it must have had a mustang as his second car though (Based on his attitude, RANT aggg don't get me started on that again, I always try to be cool with GM owners, but some of them..... Well some of them must have a garage full of Fords at home, there is nothing wrong with Fords, except they had GM owners...

/RANT)

I'm not sure what model they are though. I never saw anything on their website about a TS model. Just an LS, and SS.

Someone here has to know though....

mr_eh · 07-30-2004, 10:15 AM

the exhaust thru the body kit is the razzi body kit, possibly some nascar special edition bull**** from the dealers/ i dont even know

VTECSiGAH8R · 07-30-2004, 10:42 AM

IMO, this is by far GM's ugliest car.

I think this is a special model from the dealerships. I saw one at a FOX chevy dealer last year. I think I posted a pic of it now that I think about it. Let me see if I can find it.

Vintalage · 07-30-2004, 11:07 AM

I did post a pic but I took the pic down. :/

GAGTSCTGuy · 07-30-2004, 11:09 AM

I was waiting for you to show up.

Thanks I've been looking for an hour now, and haven't found anything on it.

edit: thats ok about the pic, I remember that bastard enough that I won't forget his car

Silver02GT · 07-30-2004, 11:39 AM

The best one I've seen yet is the Dale Jr. Edition....

Na, saturns are much uglier. Anyway the montes with the ls sport package and the superchared ss's look good. The rear spoiler makes it look a lot better because you cant see the bulge in the trunk.
