I think you need some tire shine too!

Thanks. Yeah, it was the first time that I hand washed it this year. I didn't go all out with the detailing. just wanted to get the winter yuck off of it.

I got them from Tirerack.com. They are the Sport Edition F7 Silver rims. They are pretty reasonable and I think they look pretty decent.

That's the factory Tony Stewart grill. It only really works on a black monte. Which is what he has luckily. But it looks bad on other colors because it allows you to see the center divider between the two nostrils. And especially the empty spot where you removed the knight's crest. The SLP grill kind of disguises that to some degree.

On a black car, the TS grill works okay. But I would still go with an SLP grill, and simply put a badge of your liking on the blank spot. Besides, I've heard that TS grills are getting hard to find now. And they're more expensive than the SLP.
