I know you already said you're gonna keep the front end original. It's just as well. I've heard from a few people that it's more trouble than it's worth. Bolt holes don't match, the cost of getting all the parts needed and making them line up properly. In the end, you'd have some people thinking you put Dale Jr stickers on a 2006 Monte.

I'm with the others. Put the money into performance. That way all people are seeing is your tail lights. lol

If you do the front end, you will need to do the side skirts and rear bumper too. It would look great, but then your wheels will look to small, so upgrading the wheels will need to happen, and by then it will just look like a 06-07 with jr stickers on it. Which wouldnt look bad at all, but way more trouble then its worth.

little off conversation, but i saw a 6th gen monte the other day and it had the newer front end. i had to do a double take because i saw the new front end, then "supercharged SS" on the side, and the 6th gen rear bumper, tail lights, and spoiler. it was different!

my 05 front end is unique, but it looks like the car is pounting and i sad all the time, that is why i wont mind a face lift, but just a spoiler and side skirts, but i love the rear bumper as is just saying....
