hi all new to the site. i own a black 2007 monte carlo ss. its bone stock at the moment sadly. had the car for almost 2 years now. needs a new paint job and the bumpers are cracked because the lady that owned it before me didnt treat it the way it deserved to be treated. seems like everyone i street race down here is running a turbo. still manage to go 2 and 1 stock vs their modded imports

A professional detail can easily bring that paint back to life. The bumpers however might have to be repaired and repainted.
