This site has 1million+ members, chances are some of them that viewed this thread don't give 2 ***** about our cars.
Go to ebay for your headlight and tail light needs. I got my Depo headlights from there and they look great, just make sure to put an extra bead of silicone around them when you get them. I've had the K&N CAI for about 5yrs now with no complaints. What kind of "budget" do you have for struts? Remember that you get what you pay for.

Been a while! I think it's 1.7 front and 1.5 rear.
The rear springs are brand new, never installed. Fronts were used for about 2500 miles.
When I had my Monte, Mels SS and I had the lowest mileage Monte Carlos. I sold mine with about a little over 5,000 miles on it.

Are these worthwhile?
Straight up answer... NO
First off they are quoting the wrong part numbers for the SS models. You will wear the inner 1" off your tires and put your life and others life at risk. I know this how!
Monore does list a strut for the SS but I would not recommend them, bird material,cheap,cheap

Bilsteins is the only way to go! and again check out the Vendors section at GMLS4.com for deals

My car went 162k on the stock AC Delco plugs - replaced the plugs and wires with AC Delco.
I have the stock bright headlights if you are looking for chrome.
There is a lot of info on the 2 sites, read before you buy. Don't bother with the K&N, I didn't notice any gain from it. I'm running stock paper with the snorkel removed.
170k on my MF's and they sound great!

Damn I thought I was scarce!! LoL!!
Good to see ya bro!
So far as exhaust I used the 00-05 W Body SLP Cat back exhaust that mounts with our W bodies.
Poly Motor mount from 3800 performance.
I like my K&N Air Intake and I did wrap mine in heat shield from Lowes. It really keeps the heat out......
DEPO headlights are awesome!
SSC Springs are super awesome!!
So far as emblems you can check out grafxwerks.com
If you want to tint your tails you can check out flipcustomtails.com
You can pick up a tranny cooler from any auto part store.....

I got my headlights from Amazon. I think they were 90$ shipped.
