Default Will This Hood Fit?

I know that a Monte Carlo SS, is bascially an Impala SS with 2 doors. So I'm wondering if this hood would fit..

VIS Racing - 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala 4dr ZD Carbon Fiber Hood #00CHIMP4DZD-010C



If not, is there anywhere I can get a cf hood for a monte carlo ss.

Oh ok I've never seen a carbon fiber one? Any specific reason you want carbon fiber? a fiberglass one will already be lighter than stock lol.. weight reduction may be the only functionality you get from a hood unless you get a mpd one

The Impala and monte pretty much only share a drivetrain.
