Alright! So Ikera's "My sh!t Cadillac" thread has inspired me to make a build thread for my CTS.

First off is the base that I have to work with

2003 Cadillac CTS 3.2 Luxury Sport

Every option except heated seats, HID and Nav.

Everything I've done to it so far

LED Fogs

LED strip under front grill

Painted and customized grill

Plastidip'd 17in stock rims

AUX input wired into dash

LEDs wired in the front foot wells and trunk to the subs

Audio setup

2 Alpine Type R 12D2's running at 400rms each at 2ohms

Sound Ordnance ported box

Audiobahn a8000t Mono block amp

Bose system for mids and highs

The plans I have for it

CAI

HID headlights with CCFL Halos

Higher performance brakes and rotors

Revshift mounts and bushings

Eibach sway bar

Fiberglass rear trunk bezel

Aftermarket 17in rims (in black :D)

Audio to come!

Custom box ported through the rear deck (5-6 cubic feet tuned to 30-31)

Sky High Audio Cable 0/2ga, 14ga, 16ga and RCAs

Mechman HO Alt 270amp

1 XS Power D925

2 XS Power D7500

2 DC XL12's custom from SHCA

2 FT1 Black Series (Highs)

4 PWX 6.5" mid range (mids) OR 2 PWX 6.5" mid range in the front doors and 2 PWX 8" mid range in the rear doors

1 Rockford Fosgate 3sixty.3 processor

1 Crescendo Audio BC5500D

1 Crescendo Audio S800/4

Kenwood DDX371

Custom door speaker panels

Now the reason I named her The MonsterCadillac is due to my love of the record label Monstercat. I am a lover of EDM and they publish some of the best IMO. I plan on adding decals of their logo and also of the artist logos as well. I will also be using this as a flagship for my little side job that I named Brownies (last name and the name of my grandfathers old mechanic shop) Currently I just do house calls and nothing crazy as far as income. I hope I can use my CTS as a show piece at car shows and the like to showcase my work.

This is not going to be a excessively updated log since I am doing this as I have the extra funds available and taking it all one step at a time. I will be posting any repairs and that as well in this log.

ON TO THE PICTURES!!





My first mod was adding these chrome strips to the grill (also changing all the gold logos to chrome)

Next came plastidipping the rims since the chrome was looking rather bad
