I've had a ton of ls and regular model monte's throughout my life. Then when I bought my current monte I decided to make it a ss clone. Honestly, I spent ALOT of money and time getting all the trim, nose, bumpers, mirrors, tail lights, buckets, console, etc., etc, and then changing and fitting all the parts to my car, To me, it wasn't worth it. All the parts I swapped were off of different cars, so now none of my paint matches correctly, and I still dont have every ss trim piece to make it look right. Your car looks sweet. I wouldn't touch it!! If I had the choice to do mine all over, I would of left it original, and put the money towards performance, and handling upgrades. Just my opinion :D

I wouldn't touch it sell the ss stuff you got and put it towards performance upgrades. Just my opinion tho that Monte looks sweet by the way.

I had a chance to get these pieces for near nothing, I forgot I let my friend borrow an engine stand I had and he offered to trade the stand for these parts. I had to grab them even if I don't swap it all over still a good deal I think.

not sure if you researched anymore of the swap but is that all the parts your buddy gave you? if so do you know you need more parts?

also does the nose sag above the headlights?
