What an excellent looking Monte Carlo. Great to see you taking care of it the way you are too. Everything you've done so far is great. I wouldn't put the windshield banner on, but that's just me.

Suggestion, small one, paint the bowtie on the center caps of the wheels red. The outline, not the middle. I think that would look really nice. Also consider the SLP grill.
Edit for additional suggestion... Ruby Red LED tail lights!

Hey limited wheels look great and I love the brake job.the only concern I have is,did you use an adhesion promoter on your wheels.if not then then the paint is gunna start flaking off.paint doesn't like to stick bare metal,especially to aluminum.

i liked the gun metal until i saw them on the car, IMHO just doesn't look right on a white car, looks goood tho keep up the good work

adhesion promoter = primer

^He primed the wheels, no evidence of brake prepping.

Nice monte BTW
Thanks for the compliment - I'm really liking yours as well. I just think the dark colored wheels on a white car look out of place - but that's just my opinion - and we all know what opinions are like...lol. I have seen this used on wheels before, and with a shot of clear coat over the top they come out looking fantastic. Thanks for taking the time to document everything and share it on the forum.

I wish I went through the prep work you did, that looks way better then the route I took. I love it! Good work, question, what rotors and breaks did you go with? I need to do all that to me Monte.....

I agree with the red outline will bring out the red calibers.
