Default impala hood?

Was just wondering if anyone could verify isn't an impala hood and a monte carlo hood (06-07) compatible or am I wrong because I thought there were three interchangeable parts on a impala and monte carlo. Headlights, front upper grille, and the hood also fenders are too but monte carlo has a crease and impala doesn't. thanks

thanks I thought so was wondering because dura flex makes a hood I really like but they only list it for an impala and they told me it wouldn't fit on my monte and they never heard of them being the same (morons)

Someone other than Duraflex needs to get your money. Anyone.

Also, while the upper grille is the same size, it is not the same grille.

Has anyone ever put newer impala headlights in their monte from like a 2011? I know the hoods are the same, seems like they should take the same bubble headlight.

Ok good, am about to replace some front boidy work due to deer damage.. if newer impala headlights are an exact plug & play I would love to go that way with less oxidized lenses, and hopefully brighter led bulbs. Just not overly impressed with beam strength of the factory lights. Thanks
