A little update here 3 months later... I'm going to be paying the remaining $1500 off on my car and use it as my future DD, it's clean and has no issues except for regular maintenance that's coming up... here's what I have planned for her:

Plasti-dip racing stripes - With glossifier
Fully restore the messed up headlights - possibly black house them
Paint roof channels black
Tint Rear tails
Replace all struts and hardware at 100k miles (currently at 88500)
I'm also going to sand down the stock lip and paint it either body color or silver, probably body color just to make it look clean all around
Install new headunit
Install all 4 speakers
Bypass stock amp

After all that I just plan to drive her and keep her stock, maybe delete the resonator for some more sound, but that would be it for mods unless I decide as intake to help with some of the highway mpg (minimal gains here)

Anyone have any other ideas for the car or other things that they'd like done with theirs and like to be seen done on mine?

I'm ready to do cheap visual mods and just drive the hell out of the car!

Thanks! I haven't been on much lately, really... I'm going to be doing the stripes and such next week hopefully if all goes as planned. I also plan on gutting the intake box, I'll do a video on this one, that should be pretty interesting and get me most of my sound back

I'll be around more and hope to get to know some of the newer-ish guys around here!

Thanks guys!

I went to install the new, to me, stereo today, thought I had it wired correctly, but I went to turn it on and no power, put the stock one in and had power. Not sure what the problem is but I guess I'll have to try and figure it out here soon.

I'll probably have more updates next week when I get to really look at it. I think I may have had a wire switch around on accident or I got a bad harness.

Sad to hear you're getting rid of your Monte man but the Camaro is a nice looking machine.
