Hello and Welcome to the forum!

Here is the long and short of the bumper cover swap.

Yes it will bolt on and fit decently enough.

Yet there are body lines on the Montes fender that will not match up to the bumper cover lines. A small bit of bondo work will need to be done to the cover. The lines that wont match are the horizontal ones.

Here is a an 07 with the Impala bumper cover on it... It has all been fitted, bondo and paint all done. The owner did this as the Impala has a significantly larger air intake opening area.

Thanks for your input, it did fit but for some odd reason, the previous owner rigged that bumper cover, so I just Bondo the old one look much better than it was,just a crack left due to it not being strong enough.
