I think it's funny that you are switching to the SS style from the LTZ. I went from the SS to the Impala LTZ style. Looks great! Don't forget your grille and fog light inserts need to be the honeycomb style now.

Duderino, not sure what year you have, but I found a used SS rear spoiler off a 2000-05 (6th gen), looking at the deck lid, it should also fit a 2006-07 (7th gen) . A salvage dealer near me just got an SS in with front end damage. Back end is in perfect condition! Let me know if you are interested and I'll send you his contact info. I know he sells on eBay, so I'm sure he'd ship it anywhere.

Thanks. Yes, I know about the upper and lower grilles needing to be changed over to the honeycomb. Since mine is a LTZ it has the same fogs as the SS. I plan to black-out the gold bow ties on the front and back because the back one already has water damage .

I originally order them through my GM Dealer and they were just over $900 for the set. I ended up finding them off of a salvage vehicle with only minor damage. $425 for all 4 pieces with the clips! I canceled my order through GM.

I ended up getting the left & right side skirts off of an '05 SS for a steal, because I had to get them off of the car myself .

Nice looking car you have there, BlackRain!
Thanks ChevyChick! I've still got a few mods in mind for it but for now I'm loving it how it is.

nice car the next car I buy will either be a CTS coupe or a LTZ monte. Wont be for 3-4 years tho got to wait for them to drop to a normal price. I like the LTZ alot the 3.9 is awesome and I like the 7th gen style looks more smooth.
