A couple of exterior pictures when my rims were first returned after being stripped down and polished. Much better than the factory look.

I've always liked your turn signals and side markers! I wish that was more legal here, haha. I might end up trying to get away with some type of hyper white or something less blue to it but clean myself.

The car over all is super clean. What % tint is that?

Thanks, it has over 305,000 kms on it, but I still try to keep up on it. Salt is a killer and in Ontario, salt is plenty during winter. Right now I am running the stock headlights with orange turn signals for the wintertime. The tint % I am unsure about because when I got it done there was a chart with three levels and I just picked whichever. The rear window and quarters are limo tint and the doors are 1 stage below limo tint. Also the all the tint and blue LED's are not legal in Canada but I run em anyways. I've already been pulled over once for the Blue LED's but never troubled for the tint. I still run the LED's though. Everyone has tint on there vehicles nowadays even cars from the factory.

They are pretty good if you take proper care of them. They get dirty real quick I've learned. I have them off for the winter though. I took them off in the fall and brought them in the house and first bathed them with nice warm apple sunlight soapy water. Then I went to walmart and bought blue magic which is a polish aluminum cleaner. It worked wonders. Brought them back to a high polished aluminum shine like the day I got them back from the rim place. I have them stored in my shed for the winter but come spring before I put them back on I will take a couple of pictures and post them up here.

Very clean Monte. It looks great. Do you think you're going to do anything more performance wise?

Well to be honest, I'm hoping to purchase a newer 07+ Silverado and keep this as my "summer car". I'd love to drop an M90 on top of the L36 but I don't make enough as an apprentice to afford anything else except gas to get to work. When my motor blew two summers ago I didn't have enough to purchase an L67 + powertrain at the time. It was already enough just to replace the motor then the trans went the next winter so go figure. When I do get a truck I will put the monte away and probably drop an M90 + a couple other things into it but until then she will remain with the current mods. The other thing is too if I add anymore performance I think the trans will let go again.
