Talking Update with new tires and wheel accents and its clean!

Freshly detailed so I had to take some pics! Detailed and buffed with Meguiars ScratchX 2.0, Ultimate Polish, and NXT 2.0 wax. Awesome results. Wish I had a better camera, results were almost unbelievable in person. I'd honestly have to say it eliminated 75% or better of the fine scratches. Well worth the time. Also made some larger scratches nearly invisible to someone who hadn't seen the car prior. Tinted the rear side windows too (5% over the previous 30%) Also got new tires put on and did some black accents on wheels.

As always, Enjoy

Thanks, they're the tips that come with the SLP PowerFlo system. I believe they're 3.5" with a mild slash cut. Used to have them sticking out a little bit but I tucked them up under the bumper, not sure why lol. Just gives it a different look, may pull them back out someday.

Yeah the SLP system for the Monte is discontinued but I do believe these tips were an option for the Grand Prix PowerFlo system which is still available so maybe if you contact SLP you can still get a hold of just the tips

EDIT: Just found the exact tips on eBay (they look very similar at least) ---> http://www.ebay.com/itm/SLP-Performa...ht_1420wt_1133

the rims look good. it gives them a little something extra. I was gonna add some red to mine but i'm afraid to paint them in case I don't like it.

Thanks! I'm still really nervous about painting mine. They're Plastidipped at the moment so I can just peel it off anytime. Probably won't hold up as good as doing the entire wheel but I can always touch them up easily if something happens. Not sure if I'll ever paint mine or if I'll just get the 17's from a dale jr. someday. I think red would look cool on yours though
