Default New memeber from Iowa

Hello all. I am 17 and I am from Iowa. Being a highschool student I didn't have much money so I got a job at a factory for the summer and made enough to buy a car. I used to drive a buick century that my mom used to drive before she got a new dodge strattus. I got my 1999 monte about 2 months ago. I like it, but of course it's my "first" car. Here's some pics if you want to see. https://montecarloforum.com/m_108314/tm.htm

Later.

Thanks for the welcome!

It has 166K on it but it hardly looks it. The next thing I want to do is new wheels. I'm not sure what options there are for the engine? I have the 3.1 V6.

welcome! appearance will be the best bet for ur car since the 3.1 doesnt have many options for modding unless u r willing to do everything custom which can get very expensive

Do you think black wheels would look good?



I did this in MS paint. You should be proud.

I know they dont line up exactly but its MS paint.

If I remember correctly, there's another MCFer that has that body style and that color, he added some black ground effects and etc... can anybody locate that thread? I'll try when I have time.

Here's the same wheel in chrome. I tinted the windows like they are now with the airbrush in Paint.
