Hi `Justin, I understand how you & Mod `Mike feel about not wanting 2 know the total cost $ on getting your Monte's the way you want/desire them to `be

But, if you really want to do it, then you need to formulate a plan so that you know how much to put in2 your Monte Saving Fund..

I dream on how I want it, then I make a plan & do my homework on cost estimates on parts/paint/interior/rim's tires/supercharge or turbo (?) etc...

Good Luck 2 everyone on getting their Monte Carlo's 100% the way you want them to `be...

p.s. thanks for your posts/& voting in the poll

I'm sure that Justin & `Mike will......4-Sure

I'm gunna try and guess around 3-5k?
Tail lights (LED)-$220-$320
Rims (what they cost me without tires)-$486
Tires(the type im looking at or around)-$500-$600
Tint-$200??
Headers-$500-$700 (?? no clue on that cost)
Wiziard CAI-$250 I think?
Upgraded pully-?? Plus on ZZP it recommends u upgrade a few other things if you do a smaller pully?
A Tune-$150-$200?? (again just guessing)
Fix paint flaws-guessing a max of $500?
Two tone red anc black leather seats with red bowtie headrest-??? Who knows!
Drilled and slotted rotors-?
Trunk Liner-$200?
Have a double din put in with one 12 inch sub and old radio relocated somewhere nicely in the trunk-??? No idea lol
Red line painted about the silver gorund effects-?
Thats all I can think of right nwo theres probably more I'm spacing off but yeah just guessing

I could sure spend another couple grand easy
But, I usually get bored and start a new project when I feel like I have done all I reasonably can to one.
Had this one for a year now..........Would be loosing my a$$ now to part with it, so more modding to come I guess.

Thanks Member's for posting your future costs on what it would take to get your Monte Carlo the way that you want it to `be.

I wish everyone a Win on the Lotto, or @ Vegas or a Big Bonus @ work, or finding a Sugar Mom or Daddy or selling the things you don't need etc.

Thanks for sharing your plan, your dreams & I hope they all come `true 4 YOU 4-Sure
