Default My old ride

IDK if I ever showed you guys pics of my old MCSS yet. I loved that car, it was my second car, and it was the first 6 banger I ever had. I will always remember the day i brought it home, and I will never forget it. I had a lot of great memories in that car (wink wink), and when I look back on it, I probably should have kept it. when I bought it, it was bone stock. I put the body kit on, the rims etc etc. Those taillights were old, I ended up buying LED tails that looked amazing.

BTW this was back when I was more into looks than performance, but I slowly transitioned lol. I did have some engine work done but not that much. I did have a catted dp from zzp, and a K&N CAI. I believe that was it.

I never had one problem with that car, and I had it for a good 3 years, and I bought it used. It was an 02,bought it in 06, and sold it for the GXP in 09.

But anyway here ya go............

yeah they were a cheap set and vibrated like a mother lol. But whatev, they looked better than the stockers.

I DID want to buy the stock rims that were on the Dale JR cars, but it was hard finding a set for under 1k

If I would have kept it, it would be striped down and probably repainted black. There were a few cosmetic issues that you can't see in the pics. But the only thing that would stay on the car would be the body kit. I would have by now gotten those Dale JR rims too...

Aside from the wheels style...I love everything else you did with it. What did you get for trade in when you got the GXP? Or did you sell it yourself?

I like the red X's better, sorry I hated those pre '06 Montes. I never liked the front bumper/hood/headlights, or rear bumper with the contours.

I only got about 6K trade in, but it was enough to pay it off
