Hi `Sam,
I love that color & I haven't seen that many Monte with that color Below pic is one of our Member's > `Garrett..
I like what he did to his Monte 4-Sure...

Look forward to seeing what you do to yours...

 

Good stuff. I look forward to sharing!

 

You need to lower that bish

 

So wait, 06 3.9 montes are rare? Theres 1 at picknpull here . Course its totally fubar'd....

 

Yeah, they only made the 3.9 for one year. Slightly more horse power and weight then the 2000-2003 SS'
However imo its not enought to compensate for losing the 6th gen front end styling.

Still one sweet ride though.

 

Ohsix_242 I would say don't go for a K&N intake, many people here will say they're not worth the money as they're poorly built and designed. You'd have better luck getting a good quality intake from someone such as CAI Inc.

Doubt I'll lower it--honestly just don't see the need and considering that after I get the mufflers/tips/air intake done I'll probably focus on its looks. I'm thinking maybe headlights/taillights and possibly decals and such. Who knows, I'll just take it one thing at a time and enjoy every bit of it. Heck, I'll probably upgrade the audio system before I get it lowered. We'll see

 

The thing for me though is price. This being my first car I'm still pretty young so I need to think more about how much I'm spending on whatever it is I want to upgrade. But I'm sure I could find a deal somewhere, so I'll check out that intake. Thanks.

 

If you wanna mod I sugest you save up for an SS instead. You will get way more for your money. I have pretty much given up on speed for my monte, for now I want to make her beautiful. Save the speed for the V8's

 

Well I'm pretty much done doing any upgrades under the car or hood after the mufflers tips and intake. I expect that to end up around $500 total so anything after that should just be for looks. I don't plan on going crazy on the thing money-wise by any means. I'm 16, the money going towards it is coming out of my pocket so the car won't be a ton different than it was when I got it. And why should I make it a ton different? It's in great shape, gets good mileage, and the lady who owned it before me didn't even break it in.

I'm already enjoying the smooth ride with everything stock, and I expect the upgrades I mentioned will make it even more fun both sound-wise and performance-wise. I'd love to have an SS someday. Awesome car. This one though should last me quite a while considering how it has been taken care of and the 55K miles on it.
