Default 2004 Monte Carlo LS Build

I know I already have recent updates thread but that's becoming overwhelming and repetitive, I'm going to make this thread just to show how much my car has progressed. I will only post Mods that have been done from the beginning to the current time, not plans that I'm hoping of. So here we go.

The day i got her i cleaned her pretty good.




My first mod was a 3rd brake light overlay with Monte Carlo cut out.



Shortly After I put a vinyl overlay on my rear bowtie. (thanks to Jarheadbobandmax for the vinyl)



I had a system from my truck. So I put that all in but didn't fully connect it right away.




Soon after I put in Red LEDs All around



Next I did my first performance mod, or at least I thought so.



Next, after all the stereo was hooked up i added a 10 disk CD changer.



Next I added my Wizaired CAI with 9" K&N Cone Filter



Continuing with visual mods I added a 10k HID Kit and front plate filler.



I finally then tinted my tail lights and reverse lights.



For Christmas I received a SLP Upper Grille Insert and Bluetooth for my stereo so i installed those.



Also with Christmas i got the Weathertech floor mats.

I then got rims off of a Buick and got them to fit, along with getting a pace car spoiler installed.



Shortly after I added the Team Monte Carlo Spoiler Decal (thanks to jarheadbobandmax)



I continued to work on visual by turning the decals on the trunk lid to black.



Then I went with just the bowtie outline decal.



The black housed headlights came next.



Shortly after installing these headlights I got chrome turn signal bulbs and tinted the corner so there was no more orange.



After this I went and tinted my windows 35% all around and 20% on the front windshield.



Shortly after the tint I went with dual exhaust. Stock mufflers and 4” SLP Stainless Tips.



And then painted the exhaust to help prevent rust in the future.



Then I went with SLP Lower Grille Insert and Black Headlight Covers to help complete my front end look.



Then I finally got some roof rails. It really helps complete the look of my car.

Lastly I started working on fixing rust that is currently working it’s way through the bottom of the door.



Got my new tails in, I love them!

Slick ride, my friend!
Interesting set of rims, too- my parent's new 2011 Lucerne has those same wheels..:p One thing though, are you going to keep the Buick logo on the wheel hubs or switch to a Chevy logo?

Very cool Mitch! I also had to do the inside door seam rust mod on my 05. Very common with these cars.
