Hey everyone, my name is Mike and I live just outside of Philadelphia, PA (Just moved to Elkins Park). I'm a moderator over on the MonteCarloForum (where Britt got a bunch of us to sign up from). I own a 2000 Monte Carlo SS, with plenty done to it. I find myself to be pretty knowledgeable about Montes, and W-Bodies in general. I try to do as much work on my car myself. I'm a member on a whole bunch of forums, so my Avatar and Sig pic may be familiar to some.

Some stuff that'* done to the car: CAI, ZZP Stage 1 HVTB, ZZP HV3 Insert, ZZP ER Rockers, 180° Thermo, ZZP 304 SS Powerlog, ZZP 2.5" 304 SS Downpipe, GMPP Exhaust, custom tune.

Exterior: Painted bottom trim (silver with red), 2006 Stand-up Spoiler, Black Bermuda LED Tails, Tinted reverse lights (on there way from Flip), 3rd brake light overlay, Roof rails, Weathertech In-Channel rain guards, Windshield banner, Black Headlights, SLP Grille (Still needs to be painted and slapped on)

Interior: Black and Red wheelskin, LED light swaps

Here'* a few crappy pictures from my blackberry of the car as it is sitting right now:





And last year, I took my dSLR and did a little photoshoot with the car, back before I had a lot of my mods put on. I still need to put on 2 mods, claybar and wax it and do another nice photoshoot so I don't just have cell phone pictures...

Here'* some of my higher quality images:









And let'* slap a video or two

decent one of the exhaust:



A little 0-60 run before my exhaust and HVTB was put on:


So that'* basically it, I guess. I'm a little thorough

Let me know if anyone wants to know anything else! haha

Welcome to the GM Forum Mike, pull up a chair and make yourself at home!

Britt has been chosen to lead the expansion of our Chevy section and has been doing an excellent job so far promoting and bringing in new members. It is our hope to extend the fun and knowledgeable nature of our forum to all GM vehicles.

I've followed the same modding path as you. Never got the PLOG though, plan on doing headers soon.

Yeah, I've decided against the Headers for a few various reasons, the Monte is doing all I need it to do in it'* current NA state

Welcome to the GMFourm Mike. We've been around for years and decided to expand and get to know of other GM owners and see their rides and Mods/idea'* and share GM Tech info here. Glad you to see you've come by. You can blame Brittany'* enthusiasm on me. She came by awhile back and enjoyed our flavor of madness, been an active member, and I got to her to help out with the expansion. Great looking Monte ya have, thanks for sharing.

Welcome to the site, that is one great looking car. Love how they look.

Welcome welcome! All these familiar names from my brief time as a MCSS owner....ahhhhhhhhhh the memories.

HAHA, still a shame you had to get rid of that White SS, but you still have a great lookin' SSEi

Yeah. When I get back from Korea I plan on trading in my g/f Impala for a black 06/07 SS, so I'll be back in the MCSS game.

If you ever want a car to look horrible, you take a pic with a blackberry....

Welcome to the site, get an iphone. LOL

or a Droid
