#708 of 778 Impala mods by impalamd Jul 30, 2004 (10:17 am)
Has anyone seen a functional ram air hood for a 2001 impala. All i can find are those fake hood scoops. Ive seen one for the monte carlo but nothing for the impala... i have been to impala hq and looked through all their pages but i could have missed something. Any help would be appreciated.

How do you remove the ash tray from under the dash? (Bench seat model).   Thanks
#710 of 778 Transmission cooler? by nosirrahg Sep 24, 2004 (9:38 am)
I've put a receiver hitch and wiring on my 2000 Impala, with the notion of occasionally renting a small U-Haul trailer to haul odd stuff from Home Depot (or to rent a pressure washer or tiller or what-have-you). While getting the wiring done at U-Haul, they tried to sell me a transmission cooler. I declined it, since I'll rarely do any hauling for any distance; but having grown up in a rural area where the pickup truck was the primary means of transportation, we ALWAYS had the transmission cooler put on the trucks, and as far as I know we NEVER had any type of transmissio problem.   Just wondering if adding such a cooler to the Impala would be beneficial enough in regular driving to warrant the purchase?
#711 of 778 tail light assembly - interchangable? by niagara Oct 12, 2004 (8:17 am)
Does anyone know if the plastic parts of the rear tail light assembly from any of the model years 2000 -2004 are fully interchangable? I want to paint out the centre section, but would prefer to do it on a unit from the wreckers so that I could always return the original unit on the car. It's probably a good idea to get all the red lenses, - just in case. And, where can I get really good matching colour paint to do this?           "look good, feel good, do good!"

Replying to: niagara (Oct 12, 2004 8:17 am) regarding the tail light assy. from the GM manuals, it should be unless you had some custom work done or the wrecker had the work.   about the paint. check the PRO paint code in your trunk and check the www for any paint mfg/suppliers in your area. there are some in the lower 48, but you may want to find someone local. ive got some touchup paint from paintscratch and automotivetouchup for my dark bronzemist impala and it matches real great. the paintscratch paint had larger metalflake particles to match the original. they also sell spray paint too.   fyi...there is another site that has alot of mods to the impala where someone actually painted the taillight assy. the only problem, if memory serves, was that the paint flaked off after a while. i dont know what color you imp is, but there is a link on the site that has vynal decals that supposely looks great, but the colors are limited to white, black, and i think blue. the only issue with the decals is that the corner ones take some trial and error to form around the corners.

Need to go to www.impala hq .com In the how to section tells you how to paint them.
#714 of 778 found one... by niagara Oct 19, 2004 (5:22 am)
A local parts yard has a 2004 centre lens for the Impala at $150 CDN. I'll pick it up soon and do the paint thing on it. I've ordered a spray can of the paint code and will also use the acrylic primer to set it up first.   I've been trying to source some black steel wheels for the snow tires. The OEM are really expensive, about $100 each, - and the parts yards say that they are really very rare items. CTC say that they can supply an OE but that it does not in any way take any wheel covers, but they're a about $50 each ... much better. Now it'll real look like a cop car, - especially with that big CB antenna on the trunk. Replies to this message: mkulina (Oct 26, 2004 4:12 am) pimpala (Jun 09, 2005 7:00 pm)
#715 of 778 Looking like a police vehicle by mkulina Oct 26, 2004 (4:12 am)
Replying to: niagara (Oct 19, 2004 5:22 am) If you are interested in adding more police like accessories, I have a set of blue lights (the strobe unit was removed, there are just the lights) and a underhood speaker from 2000 Impala. They are just sitting on the workbench. But be aware, for shipping purposes, the speaker is extremely heavy.   Regards, Mike Replies to this message: pimpala (Jun 09, 2005 7:00 pm)
#716 of 778 police like stuff by niagara Oct 28, 2004 (9:02 am)
...thanks, Mike ... but not really. Would be kool though. Now I'm looking for those centre pieces used on the black steel wheels.   I just finished taking all the wheels off and then the wheel well liners and soaking all the bushings with silcone. It helps keep things from drying out in the harsh winter and it does make things quieter and smoother. While I had everything open I sprayed undercoating on all the surfaces ... what a nice difference for a quiet ride. Next is some Sylvannia bright lights.. etc, etc ... always something to play with, eh? The painted splash guards turned out really great too.

Replying to: niagara (Oct 28, 2004 9:02 am) What type of undercoating did you use? Can you buy it at an automotive store? Is it easy to take the wheel well liners off? I'm trying to get a quieter ride too.
