Why would you want to go with that front end though? Looks less sporty and more like an Impala lol
i think i quoted the wrong post lol i want to put a 6th gen front end on my 06 new radiator core supports are only 150, i think if i swap that then everything will fit for sure

Yeah, that sounds about right, but there's only one way to find out for sure

You dont need to put a new core support in to swap fronts, just need a new latch & header panel

I saw a laser blue 7th Gen Monte with 6th gen tails over here at the Naval base, looked pretty damn good with them, I was actually surprised lol but I still want 7th gen tails on mine :P

hmmm, did 6th gens ever come with factory remote start? my 06 has it and the hood latch has a wire on it that disables the remote start if the hood is open, so if i have to switch to 6th gen latch then that may not work =( (i dont wanna lose my remote start, not in ohio winters lol)
