Default Modifying an 06 LS?

Hey guys i'm pretty new to this forum. Just been lurking for a while. I was wondering if you guys had any tips for making my 06 LS look a little more SSish if you know what I mean.

I don't have too large of a budget at the moment but I want to make some changes to the body maybe through a body kit or spoiler modification. Was thinking of hitting up the junkyard to hopefully find some decent leather seats. I'm not really worried about any engine mods at this time but in the future of course. I don't have a ton of experience with body work but wanna try my hand on my own car to save money.

I guess if you guys had any opinions on places to looks for good products I would really appreciate it. And even very small changes that could give my LS a sportier look would be awesome.

Hi Patp14, & Welcome to the Monte Carlo Family.

What color is your Monte Carlo ? Exterior & Interior ?

It would help our member's if they knew your estimated modification budget ($) to help them make suggestions to you.

My Monte is black exterior with a thin red pinstripe. While the interior has black panels and grey cloth seats with silver dash. I'm looking to spend around 6 grand max on upgrades at this point. I need to post some pics of the car in its current state. I will post them in the next week so suggestions can be more intuitive.

As a start I have been looking into updating my surfboard for the 06/07 SS spoiler as I have read it would fit on nicely with a bit of paint work needed. I hate my spoiler right now.

I have also been thinking about a body kit, but would it be smarter to wait until I upgrade to a dual exhaust?

Thanks for the reply Space I will look into junkyards around here for that spoiler. It seems kind of rare.
