Just wondering how you changed the Chevy bowtie in front on the grill to be SS. Where did you get it?

Nice ride. I like the car even though i dont own one. My girlfriend does, and she loves it.

You just purchase an extra door SS (they are bigger than on the trunk). Then remove the front bowtie and replace it with your purchased SS emblem.

See this recent thread for help:

Looks nice Mel! I really prefer the front end of the Monte over the Imp. I wonder if it's possible to get that bottom lip and put it on the Imp?

Looks great Mel, makes me glad I chose white on my Impala. And I agree with Corny, the front bumper looks much better on the Monte than the Impala. Have fun with it!

They look sick in white, good subtle color that you can really do a lot with.

Buff and I looked at that last year ... I think you could put the MCSS front bumper / spoiler on the Imp.

Yeah, but I'm just talking about the bottom lip/spoiler. I wonder if it could be put on the Impala bumper?

I love white cars, the pearl is the best. But I always thought an SS should always be in black. White is easy to take care of, black of course stinks, unless it doesnt rain.

Don't think so, the MCSS has the Corvette stylized lower opening, where the Imp's is bigger.
