New to the site, and new Monte Carlo owner!
Hello!
I just bought my new car, a 2006 Monte Carlo LS and am very excited to start working on it
...
I figured I needed to find a place to research and discuss before I started playing around
A few things I am looking at doing are as follows:
Installing Fog Lights.
Dual Exhaust.
Real rims :P (stupid hubcaps)
New hood. http://www.mpd-inc.net/mc.htm (Hawt)
K&N Air intake.
Installing steering wheel audio controls (dunno if that is even possible) (if I go with after market deck this is a non issue :P)
New deck, It has the basic GM stock deck. There was an XM antenna on
the car but I found that it wasn't hooked up to anything so I am pretty sure it dosn't support XM radio. Thinking about getting a double din touch screen nav system eventually. Debating between the GM and an aftermarket. The aftermarket will more then likely be cheaper :-P
I have done a little work to it so far. I painted the bottom of the front and rear bumper with a bedliner type matterial as the rear bumper was cracked so rather then spend tons of money on a new bumper I fixed it and painted over it w/ the bedliner stuff. It looks pretty good

Welcome to the forum!!!
Nice car...
That "XM antenna" is OnStar I would guess...that is if you have it. But if its the black thing on the roof toward the rear, that is OnStar.
Also, there is no K&N available for our 3.5L
however, MPD, Inc. sells a cold air box that works with our engine. I ordered it about a week and a half ago...So once it comes and I install it, I will post about how I like it and everything...There is already a few member with the 3.5L/ 3.9L V6 that have installed the MPD cold air, and like it.
