yes. lumina's too. i would try to find pieces from another Z34 monte so that they all match and dont have the chrome bits on the hood & grille opening, but an LS monte or any lumina sedan would do in a pinch.

What skylark said. 5th gen Monte's and 2nd gen Lumi's are interchangeable with each other. Otherwise, 1st gen w-body's interiors will interchange with us as well. I installed black leather rear bucket seats from an Olds Cutless Convertible in my Monte. It's pretty cool imo.

The only difference with the 98's and 99's are that the Z34's replaced the LQ1 with the L36 and the Z34's received different wheels. The LS models remained the same. My Monte is a 98 just for reference.

Here's what I did with my interior, I went from this:



To this:

Everything bolts in on that setup except for the center console. But both the seats and the back panel all bolt right into the Monte though. The only thing about the setup is that the bucket seats don't fold down so that you have access to the trunk. But I like the way it looks too much to care

I love the way the seats look, and from what my friends say (and I agree with them), the seats are pretty comfy. Plus, the whole setup set me back $100. The best interior change I ever did.
