X2 around 6500 out the door on a nice Monte and do the neon and lambo doors, maybe a nice stereo or some performance upgrades if you want, but it sounds like you're going more for appearance. I just would stick to 18 or 20 inch rims. If you want something lifted....... get a truck please, don't lift a Monte

Don't want to offend anyone by saying huge rims look terrible on a Monte, but I think that most of the people here would strongly advise against it.

Lifting a car and putting on suicide doors are pretty expensive mods to pay someone to do for you. I don't know your skill level or if you plan to do the work yourself but IMO you should start a little smaller. Get some nice 20s and a led light kit. Something like this 6pc MILLION COLOR LED UNDERBODY UNDERGLOW LIGHTING KIT | eBay

Also Welcome to the site.

I paid $6995 for my Monte, Verticle doors, 20 in. rims, new paint job, rebuilt engine, salvaged title (lol). If you look hard enough you can find what your looking for. I wouldnt even recommend 20s on these cars! I just switched from 20s to 16s and so far my mileage has gone from 20.2 to 22.8 and still increasing... Also with heavier wheels the transmission has to work harder to turn them at the same rate as a regular size wheel, and our transmissions arent bulletproof like our motors. VERTICLE DOORS hmmm lets see lol. They are good and fun to have until the shock goes out.
