Default Any Advice

Does anyone have any advice on what i can do to spice up my 2000 monte carlo ss. I am looking for quick, easy and cheap things to do on a college kids budget. I have already painted my engine cover and front supports. Let me know

What color is your monte? Window lettering, racing stripes, and graphics kits are cheap and easy depending on if it will look good on your car.

Don't do cheap and easy, save up and do things properly

with that said, start researching home-made cold air intakes.

Are you looking for visual or performance mods? If your looking for cheap performance.....I agree with chibiblacksheep, look at homemade intakes, or look on ebay even. I got an intake off of ebay for less than $40 and I could tell a difference with it.

I agree....the Ebay intakes do not have an air box, therefore your just sucking up hot air from the engine bay...Save up till you can buy a good CAI, or buy the Ebay one, and make a box for it......
