Taillights and rear bumper 2006 up
 
Hi!
I have a question: The taillights and the rear bumper from 2006 and up fit on the
Monte 00-05 ??? Can i use the 06 up taillights on the 02 model??

You could but the bumper may not match the rest of the body correctly.

you mean from the side view?

tail lights would work, but they wont fit 100% as there are some differences between them.

Norman 07-05-2014 02:45 PM

What is the difference ? I can see the difference in the glass only (color).

The actual shape of the lights is different between the years.

As Keane mentioned, the tail lights will leave a slight gap. If you search on the forum, a couple of people have posted comparison pics.

As for the bumper, look at the body lines of it. I am guessing it will bolt up to the body just fine, but then when you look at the car as a whole, it won't look right as it won't match the rest of the car (especially where the ground fx are concerned).

If you are trying to go for something custom, then perhaps it will work in the larger picture of what you are going for.
