Default Front Bumper question

Do 06 & 07 Monte Carlos & Impalas have the same bumper? Because I need to replace mine & I think I might have a better chance at a junkyard finding an Impala bumper than a MC

Nope - they're different. You can fit an Impala bumper onto a Monte, but it's not a direct swap. It will take a few adjustments. Member MillerMonteSS did it on his Monte. You could ask him about it.

I'd go for it and do the swap MillermonteSS's car looks awesome and I'm sure he'd give you all of the advice you'd need

I could answer any questions that you may have, but it's NOT a direct fit and may be more trouble than it's worth to most people. Front bumper (primed) for a 2006 Monte is $205.79 from www.rockauto.com.

Thanks, I looked at the website & they only have the rear bumper cover & it seems thats all I can find on any website, what all is involved in making an impala bumper fit because I'd rather do that if i can

Well, the front bumper cover is definitely on that web site for $157. I will do as good of a write up as I can considering that I deleted most of my pictures. I will do it probably tomorrow after work.
