Brian P Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 would you be interested in shifter boots with red stitching? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummer Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 just throwing this out here, but what if you used that red black and grey fabric from cavaliers and wrapped it around the door handle trim piece and the piece next to it?

I bought those leather boots for the Camaro and I think they have stuff for the Monte Carlo too. I gotta find the site but you could even get a 2-tone boot made with a red stripe down the middle. I think it was redlinegoods.com but let me verify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam'ron Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Nah its all good with tony, i was buggin him to dig out a leather cobrahead before i installed the plastic one in my 04, wasnt sure the color was gonna match but it did. it looked really grey outside of the car but somehow it looks right at home in the 04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 honestly... just tape the places you dont want painted and just spray paint it... here what i did to add some color to the 93 i used dupi-color car touch up paint and its held really well... two coats everywhere except the doors... i only did one coat on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 throw rockers and a cam in that bad boy just as long as they're 1.6 rockers. The only ones that will work with any aftermarket cam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam'ron Posted September 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Im not too sure if im gonna go for much more performance mods, i am honestly very happy with what i have now. Like i said before i still need to get onto a dyno, but a firends HPtuners scan shows 297 crank HP. (how accurate are those type scans? ) i would assume they are somewhat close but probably not bang on. Another thing im thinking of doing is popping the wheels off and putting my 1/4" spacers on this car. I'm cool with where the front tires sit but the backs could definitely come out a tad, and if need be putting longer studs in over the winter if they are short like on the 03. And i wanna track down a front STB and probably a rear as well provided it fits in under the mammoth speakers back there Also, if the money is coming the way of ME I plan on getting the front bumper cover replaced over the winter as well, but that will cost a good chunk of change, especially if the HSAP lip gets damaged while trying to remove it from this bumper, it already has a small crack in it from that pothole incident a few months back.

runt Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 You can get a set of the STB's from GMPP for about $20. I'm not 100% sure but ZZP sells brackets for the GP's (at least) and you could check out Don Rome's site to see if this brackets for the rear would fit your Monte. http://drcustomparts.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cam'ron Posted September 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 If i were to remove my leather seat skins, how much would i be looking ballpark to get the center parts redone in a red leather? anyone ever had this done? i would guess not cheap but i havent looked around anywhere yet, just another idea i had after seeing the red/black interior on the 2000 pace car any ideas? im thinking of getting them to look like this...

Cam'ron Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Dogbones r in! Picked up a set of ZZP bones on another forum. They were painted black, but i media blasted them at work today. I might pull them and repaint at some time they get wicked dirty right now unpainted and rough. now i have to decide if i want to do anything with the brackets oh how it never ends hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 what's the difference with those as far as operation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam'ron Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 not sure, they seem to fit really snug and dont have nearly any play once the front side is tightened versus the stockers. Prolly helps put a bit more to the ground, keeps the engine from moving... am i on the right track? they look better than stock, and even if they dont do anything "performance" wise they add to the look under the hood, now i just have to decide if im gonna paint em or not, and if so what color. but that could be dangerous... i was looking at the brackets and the diagonal braces as well, might make a color swap on everything at the same time lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 There are poly bushing in those mounts too, plus IIRC they're stronger. Why did you get rid of the black? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam'ron Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 im not sure if the bushings are poly or not, they are kinda rough around the edges. they have a kind of "stock~ish" look. i got rid of the black cause they were kinda dinged up and the paint was scratching off the ZZP bones when i got them, i might go back to the black or i might go chrome on it all i havent decided yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cam'ron Posted October 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 my problem is i think if i change the color to anything other than black on these 'bones im gonna have to do the diagonal braces, the mounts, and the eventual STB. thats where im lost at right now, i dont know if i "should" start adding color or not, kind of a slippery slope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
