Ive still been looking for a suitable one to use. I dont wanna get a mad expensive one and break pockets, but then i dont wanna get a cheap one that will bend if a rock hits it.

Thanks? There is one other Monte (that I know of) with the Impala front-end attached to it. His old username was BAHDEETS. I don't remember his new name other than SSV at the moment. I got my Impala front end from rockauto. I got the cheapest one that I could get with foglight attachments. It turns out that it goes to an Impala LTZ. Good luck with the transformation!

It's worked great over the time that I've had it. I would use a different method of resizing the chin spoiler if I were you though. That part hasn't held up to the curbs at all.

^^^ Click on the link for the best info. The lower lip was originally on the Monte. There was no model of Impala that came with that style accessory. It is necessary to tie in the look of the bumper with the rest of the ground effects. The fogs are the same that were on the Monte with the exception of removing the silver trim ring (doesn't fit) and the required SS Grill inserts.
