Screwing around with night shots
Screwing around with night shots Im a total noob at shooting pics but ventured out with the tripod and shutter speed on slow and snapped a few. No color correction has been done yet, hence the yellowness.

However, they are interchangeable if you've got about $1,000. The bumper and lower valance are almost $700 together and then you need the lower grille and chrome foglight bezels. Paint it up for $200 or so and there you have it!
I'm kicking myself right now, as i could have gotten a lightly-damages MCSS bumper on eBay months ago but didn't want to pay $140 for it. Someone best-offered $80 after a couple months and got it! It needed some repair and paint, but i could have handled that. I'm a cheap bastard!

If you were to try the rear bumper, you'd need to change your tips to a straight tailpipe, as it exits directly behind the mufflers, closer to the center. The Imp's tips swing out toward the sides.
Maybe those crappy Razzi rockers and rear bumper extension would be ok? Just as long as you leave off the stick-on front extension...that's horrid looking!

The stick on rockers started somewhere near the '89 Pontiac Grand Prix FWD, I never really liked them. Had 2 Impala Sports in '05 that had the body colored rockers, thought they were very clean looking. Why GM didn't continue them on the Imp I don't know.
Not endorsing NASCAR, but the early 90's Lumina Euro style and Monte Z34 race cars looked killer in the Black #3 colors, w/o the rocker treatment.
The rear bumber won't fit, different quarters.
Give GM a couple of years, and they'll prob do the Monte / Lumina thing from the 90's, where they both will look the same, except for the 4-doors.
I'm in your court though, the IMP SS does need some attitude in the styling. Yeah, you won't get noticed by any hot 20 somethings, but just because you have kids doesn't mean you don't have any passion for cars either.
