Here's how my Monte looked the day I got it.
Here's a current pic taken after I tinted the windows (with 5% tint), put on Ventvisors and a rear spoiler. I'm gonna put a set of wheels on this spring. It's killing me cause I have the money now but I gotta tough it out through the winter. I'd love to put a set of the '01-'05 Monte Carlo option NX5 wheels on it. If anyone has a set of them for sale let me know.
I removed the LS emblems on the trunk lid and put an SS emblem from a newer model Monte on it. I know they didn't actually make an SS version of the 90's Montes but they should've. I've already had a couple of guys ask me about the SS. I removed the stock chrome bowties and put the sport red bowties on.
I've also done some interior work. Here's what I have done so far. I removed the 60-40 bench seat and added bucket seats (from a '95 Grand Prix) and center console from a 99 Monte Z34. I also put seat covers on the seats.
This first pic is not my car but it is what my car originally looked like. I forgot to take a before pic of my interior.
The original blue piece in the back window was in bad shape so I replaced it with a gray one.
I also installed a stereo system consisting of a Pioneer head unit, Sony 6x9's & 2 Pioneer Premier 10 inch subs (model TS-W1041DVC) powered by a Kicker ZR360 amp. I'm gonna upgrade the door speakers later on.
