Welcome welcome!!! You have the lucky supercharged SS (only 20% of SS's in 2004 had that)
If you want a place to start on modifying your L67 please read this thread:
https://montecarloforum.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=10942
It's a great thread written on everything for your engine and the Naturally Aspirated L36.
I have one piece of advice for you though. I see that the person who balanced your wheels used the clip on wheel weights. I would try to get those taken off, and your rims cleaned up and have them use the proper weights (that stick INSIDE the rim, not on the outside edge) Because after a little while your wheels will start to look like junk and it does not come off. However if you are going to get aftermarket rims (www.tirerack.com) and just use those for bad weather, then by all means do as you wish haha.

It's a good site to check out tire sizes / what will fit for your car. Also the prices are pretty good, but usually if you don't like the selections, you can at least take the measurements and put them to use on what you do like.

The caps on your rims need replacing. Check this out: http://www.pfyc.com/pc/GN1014/MCEXT/...+Lug+Nuts.html
Chrome lugnuts, that will really shine up your car. After that I recommend getting this hood:
http://www.pfyc.com/pc/MC1001/MCEXT/...+Air+Hood.html
Pricey, but oh so worth it. After that look into a tint job, black windows are sweet. Next, make sure you have the supporting mods in your car to make it perform as it looks like it should perform. By all means you do not have to listen to me or my suggestions, I only suggest this because we have the same style of car (minus the supercharger) and this is what I plan on doing to mine.
