Not sure about those. But in general, if it fits a 2000 Grand Prix, it'll fit your Monte.

If you decide to go with that, make sure you cover up the top. That'd make for a bunch of unfiltered dirt and crud being sucked straight into your engine.

Good point. Also, if it's open to the rest of the engine compartment, you'll be sucking in hot air and actually lose power.

I knew that actually. I was looking at getting a CAI for the Blazer. You should go reply to my "It's here!" thread.
