Opinions Needed Please!

[montessaj]

Ok guys I need some opinions. Awhile back when I bought a cowl hood and spoiler for my Monte Carlo SS, I had the painter paint the name of the car (Nightmare) on both. The cowl has it on either side and the spoiler has it on the back. What I want to know is, should I have it removed and repainted? Or should I just keep it on there? I want to know what you guys think about it. Good or bad. I know that when it all comes down to it what I like is all that matters, but I'm really on the fence about this one. Any suggestions or comments are welcome. Here are some picture for you guys.

Hood


You can also see it on the hood here to get and idea of the placement. (Ignore the girl lol)

In my honest opinion, I really don't care for it. I like the fact that projects are named, but not so much the name on the car. About the most I would like is maybe it on the glove box door or something. Plus, the font of the letters really don't do it for me either. Maybe if the letters were a bit skinnier?

I do like the contrast of red to black though... froma distance, it looks really good. But I still prefer the all black look.

Having said that, I think the spoiler looks ok, but the hood is overkill.... just my opinion though.... It'd be a tough call as to wether or not its worth a repaint to remove it.

Having said that, I think you have an awesome car. I love the SS monte's of the 80's. I had an 86 that I regret selling everytime I see one. I repainted mine black, but I put a single, fine line, red stripe down the side. I think it was only about 1/8 inch wide, but it gave it a nice break up.. But looking at your cars side, I think yours looks better all black.

Like you said, its all owner prefference at the end of the day.

Ok, if an opinion is open. I think named cars, ones that are actually on the car is cheesy. Kinda takes it down a road that your nice car shouldnt be driving on. JMO of course.. Your car looks great without it. Lil high on the back side, but the body looks great.. JR

I appreciate the comments and advice. The car actually sits nothing like that at all, those pictures were prior to my PT build. The car has an awesome stance now.

Just sit that lady next to the car,no one will notice the name,,oh and I honestly dont think it looks bad,as for covering it up,what about a dark gray/charcoal accent strip over the name,,, save lots of prep and less chance of paint mis-match.

Its down to your personality. You could have a $200,000 project and be embarrassed if someone called it "a nightmare" in jest or seriously. Or you could have a real beater (called nightmare) and not give a damn what people think as long as you love your car and are comfortable with it.
I think it looks individual and makes a statement but then we Brits are eccentric!!!
