Nice Monte and welcome back.

Not sure if I was here the first time you were or not?

 

I just replaced the stock mufflers with MagnaFlow Mufflers and tips... didn't do any other exhaust work because I don't have other supporting mods... just wanted to change the sound a little and I love it!

RJ - thanks! looks like you were here before me because I first joined in Dec. of '06

 

Welcome back Cully, I used to live in Arlington Heights, then Wheeling now Wauconda. I do the local car shows up north by me and some in your area.

 

i was wondering what happend to wiz,man im way out the loop.did he post it

 

Cool, I didn't know there were shows in the area... i'll have to check that out. But I'm at school in STL right now (final semester!)

 

Welcome back Scott from IL. Nice 5th gen you got. My 1st Monte was a '95. Nice cars! LOTS of 5th gen owners here, and the search engine here is GREAT, so any ?'s, feel free to giive it a try

 

pretty sure i got the same headlights. or close to it. i'm gonna try removing the reflector on my low beams now. i noticed the light isn't as good as the stock lights were. and yea. that turn signal bulb would be a good idea cuz here's the egg yoke

 

Thanks Wayne! I won't be shy


I have a pretty good write up of how I did it (with help from another mm guy)... it's not hard, should I post that up? Yep, that's the egg yoke haha, the silverstar signals are not very expensive either, I definitely recommend them. It looks like you have the same problem as me with the driver's headlight... to aim it correctly it kind of looks crooked in the car... it's not all that obvious, but it is annoying. When I get a new DD i'll probably aim it back to where it looks right from the outside, and just deal with the driver's headlight being aimed too far to the middle.

 

Yeah, I got those for my car as well, and they do make a real difference, but I want to get some of the highly expensive Stealth bulbs. They're 30$ but they actually look like the inside is spraypainted silver, but then the bulb lights up and it's amber. Quite a neat effect actually. There's some cheapos on ebay, but you know what they say bout cheep parts. U get what u pay for... and I'd likely get pulled over for a dead bulb, costing more than the 25$ difference in the cheapos to the real stealth bulbs.

The silverstars are nice, but still, it doesn't totally eliminate the egg yold effect when off, just covers some of it up.

 

yea that would be wicked if you could post that up. i see there is metal clips around the lens holding the outer portion
