Default New monte guy in the milwaukee area

So, my name is Tim, I recently owned a Grand Prix and problems started popping up left and right so I got rid of it. Im not new to the scene but I wanted a change of scene haha. I got a 2004 Dale Jr Monte Carlo, 102k on it, prestine condition(minus the bird poop), not a single spot of rust on it.

I bought it from an older guy in his mid 50's, who bought it brand new with 378 miles on it, the bottom side of the car is coated in Ziebart, the paint has Ziebart diamond clear coating on it, and its been done once a year since 04. The car has new tires, brakes, rotors, fuel filter, plugs, wires. This guy took it to the dealership just to get the air filter changed, lol. He had both front hub bearings replaced($905.45 [] ) at the dealership. I couldnt have asked for a better conditioned car for the price that I got it for, well under blue book. Anyways, here are the pics.






I also just had the car tinted with 20% tint, I plan on replacing the rear trailing arms this week with the BMR tubular arms, as well as putting SSC springs on along with new strut mounts and new sway bar end links.




sorry for the crappy cell pics of the tint. Anyways, let me know what you think! thanks!
