Default 2005 Monte Carlos

Am I the only one that finds the 2005 Monte Carlo ugly? No door mouldings, usually no spoiler, no fog lights, ugly wheels. At least that describes the ones I see around here. NASCAR editions are exempt.


I see tons just like this one.

You just described basically all LS Monte carlos 00-05. Check out the 00-05 SS's and see if you like better

I'm with Devin. Compare that to AwesomeSS Amy's 2005 SS, "Silver".
Your picture appears to be the base model. No spoiler, no fog lights, no high sport ground effects, base model hubcaps.


Amy's 2005 SS "Silver"

I think the 05SS was the best looking one of the bunch.

I like them clean without the door moldings, and the trunk-lid not having the keyhole.

When ever you compare the basic base model to the high end model, it's sometimes hard to believe it's the same car. That goes for any car/truck.

Yeah, these cars with crappy wheels and ESPECIALLY no spoiler (I'll take the ol' surfboard over NO spoiler) just look bad. Little things make a HUGE difference in the appearance of these cars.

I got an 05 lol I really like not having the door moldings. Not having the trunk keyhole is also a plus
