Looks good! There's a lot of GP guys that started using this stuff late last year and I am planning to do this to my current stockers when its starts to look like spring time.

yeah, in pictures it looks great, but all ive done to it so far this year is a little polish, and good old nxt tech wax ... if you get up close, there are some many scratches from my snow brush and so many more rock salt chips in the front ...

yeah ... i work third shift security ( one job ) on the weekend ... ive figured it out before that in 40 hours of work i only have to do 4-5 hours of actual "work" the rest of time is mine and there is no one there 95 percent of the time ... so needless to say, i watch a lot of movies ...

and i havent even final wetsanded and buffed the headlights yet man ... hopefully when i do that they will look even better ... but thanks

Both your wheels and your headlights look awesome. When I saw the pic of the headlight sitting on the bench I thought you did go overboard but when I saw them cleared and on the car my exact words were, wow, thats awesome!

yeah ive grown to like them both so much in the past few days that at some point this summer, i will more than likely do the rims the right way, sand them down, primer them, rustoleum, and a clear coat ...

and the headlights have still to be sanded and buffed out ... but they will match the clarity, shine, and reflectivity of the taillights once done ...

thanks everyone ...

i know im not the first one to black out a monte, or a car period ... but i think it looks very different than many other blacked out cars out there and im happy with it ... which is all that matters isnt it ? :p
