Think this would work? 00 01 02 03 04 05 CHEVY MONTE CARLO REAR BUMPER COVER OEM | eBay

It's not maroon but it could be painted. Think it would fit SS too?

Does your car have the lower extensions like the silver on my rear bumper?

It'll fit an SS, yes, they were all the same from 2000-2005. Only thing I'd advise is find one that's either maroon (which you probably won't, for cheap at least), or try to find one that is just primed. If you get a painted one, you'll have to sand it down, then paint and clear, cut and buff, etc. If you're taking it somewhere to get painted, the more prep they have to do, the more it costs.

If you are up for it, you can do a good bit yourself - try to find spray paint in your color, do the sanding/painting yourself, then find a body shop to just clear coat and buff.

Doubt it - maroon wasn't an option for the SS/HS models.

I THINK it had that extender in the back. I know for sure it does on the sides. I will look tomorrow, you will see. And okay, I'll just try and find a primed one.

You may want to consult a shop and see if they can just do the entire cover over again. Allegedly, mine was supposed to cost $250 to completely sad & re-paint, but I won't get into that discussion of why it didn't.

Okay =) $250 isn't that bad at all! I was expecting 500+ Which would hurt a lot.
