Hello,
I just bought a 2007 Monte carlo ss last monte. I had a 2006 that i leased. ill show pics of that one.i had intake, exhaust, shift kit, hid's and tune on it and ran 13.6 in 1/4 mile. the new one is stock for now but ill prolly do same stuff to it. Here is the 2006 pic and link to 1/4 mile run. my gf was driving and on the way back u can hear it squak 2nd gear. she ran a 13.8 in it

Here is the 2007 which i love the look alot better with the ralley stripes. i was soo pissed when they offered it for 07 but not 06

 

cool

 

Very nice SS! Glad to have you on board!

A few guys on here have been talking/asking about HID's. What did it take to install them/wire them up? Did you have to disable/change the DRLs?


Wishing you many happy/healthy miles in your new SS!

 

 

i took off the Cold Air Intake and the HID's but havent put them on cuz its winter and there is no motivation. The shift kit I left in cuz i prollly wont put one in a car i own. The tune was HP tuners and for an 06 so i cnat use the same software on the 07. the exhaust i left on with no issues.

 

Hey Paul! You might have missed my message. I was just curious, because a couple members have been talking about getting/installing the HID's. Do you have the true HID's with the electronic ballast, or the HID-tinted Halogen bulbs? What was it like when you first put them on, hard to install them? We're curious because the HID's sometimes aren't meant towork with the Daytime Running Lights (low voltage for DRL/regular voltage for high beam), and didn't know if you had to disable/rewire them.

I understand about the whole lack of motivation thing, I have several things on the to-do list for the car, and winter always throws a wrench in the works. Who want's to mess with wiring when it's freezing out? (not me!)

What did the shift kit involve? Did you have the whole HP tuners package and module, or did you have someone that had the tuner redo your car? I ask because from what I understand you should get credits enough for 4 individual vehicles (8 credits upon purchase, two credits to tune most cars), when you buy the module that is. Obviously a tuning shop would charge you again to redo the tune on a new vehicle.

Sorry aboutthe barrage ofquestions, but inquiring minds want to know! lol!

 

Here is the kit. plug and play ballast and bulbs

mounting points. the ballast box has two sided tape on the back and i cleaned off a flat spot, and stuck it to it. then for extra assurance, i zip tied. forthe little black box the wires go in, i used a screw to hold down on an existing hole

i filed down a little space for wires to go through and used silicone **** to seal it.

stock bulbs

one hid, one stock

both hids


had them for the 2 years i had the car and never had one issue with them. i loved them, i will have hid headlight and foglights on the new monte as soon as it gets warm out.

 

Those look nice, and I agree with the rally stripes. I just got a set put on my '06 3LT today.

Do you mind me asking where you got that HID set from and how much it ran you?

 

here is the guy i buy all the hid's i install from. great guy/company and havent had one issue yet with anything

Wow, so I know nothing much about HIDs, which set did you us in your Monte? I like the nice white with barely any blue to it, kinda like how yours looked.
