I think your Monte will still get attention 4-Sure, but it's a completely different animal then the "3"...
Are you going to tint the windows ? Are those 17 inch rims.(I like them: )...Does it have paddles to shift or just the gate ?
Wish you many Zoom-Zoom'in miles 4-Real $ure : )

im sure she will get some attention, but it may be a few weeks before i get back to her...

yes, they are the alloy 17 inch, for stock i think they look pretty good...Tint is in the very near future!, im thinking 35% all the way round!

Thanks for the update & I hope you post a complete review after you have broken it in + what your MPG's are with the 2.5L Monster 4 Banger & Auto Trans...

Shane, something I just remembered, a friend of mine at work has one and he had a heck of a time finding tires for his? I'm not sure if his are 16's or 17's though? Overall the car does look pretty sharp!

The guage cluster looks really cool with the red and blue. Can't say as I blame you for liking the car. Has a lot of nice features.

Ok, here are a few videos i took. i kept getting interrupted by phone calls so i went with the best one i had...

This is of the interior lighting...notice how the direction of the light as i turn the *****...also , the blue dot the camera flips to is a LED that is shining down over the center console (they have them by the door handles too, but the camera wouldn't pick them up).
