This "Limited Edition Modified Pace Car Clone" Monte SS was originality born with the "High Sport Appearance Package". But I wanted to "spice" it up some. I got this idea when I saw a real 2000 Pace Car Edition Monte SS that was made for the street. I didn't know that they were available to the public so I decided to create my own. This car is no "trailer or garage queen". I drive it in all kinds of weather; sunshine, rain or snow. This parts list is the "Aftermarket Hopups" that I have added that's not listed in the CarDomain modification library. Place a comment and I'll answer you back. DON'T FORGET TO RATE ME!! I want to be SOTW some day. By the way. this Monte is not and never will be for sale. Total production for this year Monte Carlo SS was 71,129. This particular name plate also won the 2003 NASCAR Manufactures Championship. Thanks for reading.

Adjustable strut springs, turn blue knob left or right for a soft or stiff ride. These act like "jack bolts" on a NASCAR racer.

These are what the struts look like. They lower the car when they are installed. Manufactured by KONI for GMPP. (discontinued in catalog)1montessfan's 2003 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

Love the front air dam! I had a Monte and traded it a few years ago, I'm in the market for another one now, and sadly dealershipdesigns website is no longer active to buy the intimidator air dam.
