This is my first post but I've been reading the forum for a couple months or so since joining. First off, thank you all forum members for saving me literally hundreds of dollars on my Monte because of your helpful and knowledgeable info in your vast archives of threads.

My car is a 2005 LT model, and though I recently bought it as just daily transportation, I find that I really like this car ! That being said, I decided to post in this section because the first thing I did after purchasing it was to upgrade the music. I know forums love pictures, so...........

Starting with the head unit.......it's a Kenwood

Welcome to the forum!

I live the trunk liner/mat. What did you make it from? And where did you get the fabric to cover it?

I see you're in Youngstown! Make plans to come out to the Mentor-on-the-Lake car show August 31st (it's about an hour drive for ya lol) ;)

I made it from a piece of "Elmer's Foamboard", a 36" x 48" piece I bought at Hobby Lobby for about $10. I got a similar size piece of cardboard project paper ($4) to cut and make a template and traced it to the foamboard. Using 3M #77 spray adhesive, I covered it with a piece of leftover speaker carpet that I had from a subwoofer box project. The carpet is charcoal gray from Parts Express.....it matches the gray Monte trunk carpet exactly. I bought $5 worth of 3/8" automotive panel push pins at Lowes, drilled the holes, and pushed in the pins. Very low budget project. I paid almost as much for the added "Team Monte Carlo" decal as for everything else combined.
