So I'll be putting the rims from my 03 to the 06 this weekend. Hopefully they will look ok, I thought they looked great with the white paint. Also getting 22% tint next week all around. I'll have to post of pics after all thats complete. 6000 miles on this car and never winter driven.

Very nice car!! Looking forward to see the pictures once you change your rims.
Happy to hear you like the power of the 06, isn't it a beast!!!

I really wouldn't worry too much about the gas. I drive 30 miles each way to work on the highway. With the DOD, the majority of the time the car is driving on only 4 cylinders. (kind of hard to believe isn't it?) I can get 24 MPG Hwy. Of course only if I don't continue to punch it too much! LOL.

I also have about 30 miles each way to work. I was suprised this morning that at 130km/h it was running at 4cyl. I can't help by punch it about every 10mins, I'm sure the novelty will where off in a few weeks. Almost go time now, can't wait to get back in the saddle !

I'm not sure if the novelty will ever where off, lol. I know I always get a kick out of giving my Monte some gas from time to time. Your Monte looks good man. I love those SS'.
