I have to agree with some of the others here. I'm not a fan of putting SS badges on a car that's not really an SS. I would've just de-badged the LTZ if I didn't like them. The car looks really nice though.

Wow. You did want a lot of us 06'ers wanted to do for years but could do because prices are so outrageous. After 6 years I'm still contemplating whether to put 2-3K worth of OEM body kit our just get an SS. Good job.

Also, I think your monte isn't an LTZ. It's an LT from what I could see cause it has a gray rocker not black.

Nice car - congrats!

I would take off the SS badges and like others said leave it w/o badges, otherwise you have to change the rims and exhaust.

I was watching Barrett Jackson a month or so ago and they had a Yenko Camaro for sale... Was watching it but had it muted (we had a family get together so I recorded it.). I seen the sale price of $50k and freaked out! A Yenko for $50 K ! Then when I re watched it. I noticed the announcers kept saying "This is a very nice Yenko Clone". Basically, all the guy did was have a sweet Camaro that he put Yenko stickers on it....so, if they can do it with a Yenko, I say it's all good for the SS..... Just my opinion... Now if you were to sell it as an SS.. that's a different story.... Welcome again.... Mjclemm...
