Gm made how many 4th gen monte carlos? do u know how many threads i can find to make them your own? if u say none your about right. is it just that this cars are difficult to mod or do we just chose not too. i come from the truck world Chevy Ford Dodge all have threads on how to update their interior and exteriors.

im looking to update and make my monte carlo 4th gen unique so if there any mods u deem cool post them up

 

I have a few thing i'll share later when i'm not at work,

 

We have a lot of members who own earlier years Monte Carlos, but since we're mainly dominated with 95 and newer cars on here they don't post much. Plus a lot of our members were born after those cars were made.

As far as exterior mods, the 4th gens look great with a nice cowl hood and a 2 tone paint job. Guy across the street has an 85 I believe with that setup.

 

i almost had an 87 ss running nos and upgraded to drag race for 1500 but the rust work was just too much however my mechanic had it and would have gone over it came with new trunk lids and floorpans that had to be put in. the free car just was so much a better choice money wise

 

come on im 19 and the newest thing i own is a 96 f250 powerstroke. everything else been 94 cummins 89 3500 6.5 86 burban. i have no interest in new stuff cause they lack character and to me thats what makes a car is its character its a extentsion of you or wat u want it too be

 

I love a 4th Gen. Had several. Get you a cowl hood as stated that's a must. I think you can buy a body kit also. Beef it up with a 350 bored to a 355 and some loud pipes and your cruising. I think they are really coming up in value now. I suggest just googling monte carlo images by year and check out the images that show up. Also watch ebay every week just to see what people are doing. These are most likely your best bet to get ideas. I think the 305 engine just doesn't cut it. My 86 had the 350 bored and my 88 was the stock 305 which was not even close...I definitely would buy a 4th gen if I buy another. Been kinda looking around but not quite ready. Need to pay the Mustang down a little first if I decide to go that route. Good luck and keep us posted. The more of you 4th genners who post will create more activity among you.

 

hey my fifth gen has character its drift happy but not uncontrolable. and the lack of traction control and my car is the lightest version right now itll weigh in close to 3200 lbs

 

its got a owl it got a 355 with a 510 cam and the usual mods it got aftermarket wheels and a rebuilt 200r4 with shift kit. this is my favorite era of the monte carlo. also the last rwd which i perfer.. i an honestly say i hated the 05+ mustangs lol and Im a ford guy so i ask why ya get 1 lol

 

I got one because I really like it, Its my 2nd 05, first was a V6. Got rid of it for that reason. I am a Chevy/Pontiac Guy LOL with Ford.

 

exterior

2 in drop spindles with a 1 in drop spring for a total of 3 in drop up front, 2 or 3 in A-body drop springs for the rear for a nice low stance

get you some results like this
(3in front and rear on this one)

(Photo Compliments of BAD87SS on mcss.com)

nice cowel hood, must be 3 or more inches IMHO

Wheels and tires are always a good buy

if it does not have one get a stand up spoiler
(my new to me 84)


You never said if this was a SS or LS
mine is/was a ls i painted my grill and headlight bezels black
(this is how my i got my 85 )


Black paint on the wheels, new bumper/header, painted grill ect


some spray paint as the thing was tore up from a keying years ago but gave it a decent 2 tone look
