Mine aren't even that glossy actually I need to redo mine and resand and buff it out.

If you don't have a buffer I would try a powerball lightly

I like what you did on the lights. But if I may make a friendly suggestion. The bowtie on the trunk. I'm not feeling the location of it. I think your Monte would look better with the bowtie shaved completely. Just my taste though. If you like it's location, by all means keep it.

JUSTIN: I think yours look great. Too bad we never got to see them at the MN mini meet. It just scares me that someone would not be able to see the brake lights good enough and rear end me

It will eventually come off. But where they painted the bumper cover has some overspray on around the emblems. I would need to wetsand and polish, which I don't usually have enough time to do.

I used VHT NightShade on my reverse lights. Make sure you clear that stuff to protect the tint and then let it cure for about a week. Go over and wet sand it, like Mitch said, with 1500-2000 grit and buff it out.
