my grandfather drove this pretty much until the day he died at 89 yrs old.

The red calipers are far from the worst part of that car.........

My mom had a regular Monte of this era. It was much better to drive than my Lumina haha.

I’m going to disagree.

My dad has an 04 SS (Supercharged), other than the drivetrain, I’ve yet to find a single redeeming quality about that car. The previous 98 Z34 which he ended up giving to me when he bought his was a far better car in every metric IMO.

To each their own though.

I’m not saying I like the Monte though it does remind me of my mom’s car. I’m just saying that the red/maroon really really annoys me.

I regret painting my calipers red. They don’t look awful , but I hate that it’s a different shade of red than the body. Well, I guess I don’t hate it enough to go through the effort of cleaning them up and re-painting them all over again, but I do wish that I had gone with a contrasting color like black, or at the very least, matched the body color.

I guess I’m just so used to seeing red calipers where they don’t belong it doesn’t even phase me anymore?
