The kit I got consist of two exactly the same bars, part # and physical dimensions. I guess it is the same for 2000-2005 Monte Carlos.
If I din not have LPG tank, ti would fit as intended...

Oh, I got the bar from the local Chevy dealership, for like 35 dollars. It must be old stock, cause the sticker on the bar literally required acetone and a razor to get the sticker off of it..

After driving the car for a couple of weeks now, can't honestly say I can notice a difference. Just one of those mods that makes me feel better.

does the bar come with hardware?

STBs are purchased through any GM Parts company, or your local dealer.
