Hey, I'm new to the forums and I've looked around a bit but im looking for a more personal suggestion here. I would like some ideas for a cheap, easy to install/setup/whatever addition/change to my 5th gen Black Monte LS. I've already put in an aftermarket sound system, it has a nice spoiler, window tints, remote start, fog lights. I'm just looking for something more, i want my car to look like a monster without spending my life savings, im only 19 =]. Suggestions welcome!!!

 

Welcome to the forum! I am sure you will get alot of advise/suggestions on here! Good luck with it!

Nascar replica! Pick a driver. It seems like a lot of money at first, but instantly it'll get you attention...

 

I'm not a big NASCAR fan, its definitely a good idea and i WILL look around. I was thinking more...okay this sounds silly but its a good reference, look at Fast and the Furious lol only not illegal and not THAT extreme.

 

In that case, have you thought about vinyl? You can radically change the look of your car for pretty cheap (its just a sticker- so if you hate it in a couple years, you can take it off).

Back when my monte was almost stock- it was just a plain, boring white- and I wanted something to make it stand out, so I put on two 7" wide blue stripes (just a stock 14" wide piece cut in half)- and later added a chevy bowtie on the side (the vinyl/sign shop cut it out for me). Drastically changed the look of the car for under $100 for both.

The nice thing is, if you don't like it, you can just take it off- and if you really love it, you can have it painted on- for a more permanent effect once you get the money.

 

Take out the horrible stock front grille, put a billet grille in there, and remove the chrome strip on the hood.

 

i like this idea, im gonna look into this definitely

 

haha, age means nuthin buddy, im young and i still stick $$ into my cars since i was 16.
all you need is a nice hourly job!

 

Do some pin stripping maybe?? Its cheap and easy, for sure make your car stand out if you do it correctly.

 

I have to agree with the pin striping. I have it on my Monte and it looks so much better with it. It has gray and red along the sides. Here is a pic of mine.
