AL Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 I saw this in the hospital parking lot and I have never seen anything like it... It was a column shift car also... Is this for real or just someone throwing decals at an Impy? The taillight panel is what gets me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairdo12 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Probably another dreamer trying to add 250 hp with an LSX badge. I doubt they were trying to fool you with a trim line... They are trying to fool you into thinking there is an LSX motor in the car hahaha fat chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 They were done by SLP along with the GSX's and GTX's. They did Monte Carlo LSX's too, I've only seen the Impala and Monte in 3400's though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 olds vert Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Is it the L67? Doesn't look all that bad, but nothing that justifies the LSX badges. Not like its screaming performance. The black one AL posted doesn't look to have the polished wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virtuetovice Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Although it isn't mentioned on their website, you can also order the grill for $265. I'm guessing this entire kit costs well over $1500, and the only REMOTELY performance related part is the cold air intake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 olds vert Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 That cold air intake doesn't even look that performance orientated either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 It's probably a 3400, but I'm not sure. They did have 3800 column shifted Impalas that weren't police cars. The wheels look polished to me, just very dirty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virtuetovice Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 I came across one of these in the parking lot at school today, and google is yielding very little information. Anyone have any info (specifically performance) on the Impala LSX Stage 1? From this thread: http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?1964168-Impala-LSX Makes sense to me. Rice kit for high school kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 I don't see how it's a rice kit It doesn't look bad, it's not over the top and stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virtuetovice Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) I REALLY don't like what they did with the trunk. The grill is alright but the rest of this kit is literally badges, dual exhaust tips, spoiler, chrome wheels and cold air intake. The definition of rice seems to differ between people. To me it's making it seem like a car has a lot of performance mods when in reality it's all show.

Euro Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 It is an actual exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carkhz316 Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 I like the other trunk panel version that you see on Impy's. You know, the one that's painted body color as well, but retains the same size reflector/ reverse lights instead of painting over the reflector; a la "the corvette-ish" rear panel.

jeremy Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 i love the grill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jssuper Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 I like the grill, not crazy about the decklid facia. I too like the painted one (Corvette-ish) facia/light panel better on the Imp. The dual exhaust and such is a nice touch also.. I can kinda see the appeal of that package. Trying not to be so ho-hum run of the mill Impala LS. I give them credit for that. Oh and bonus points on the column shifter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick1234 Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 It was def done to a base Impala. Column shift and no fog lights. Would like to get the grill. Rear looks horrible. The LS Sport had the tail light covers that were painted same as the body color along with different cluster, and some interior Impala badges on seats and doors.

slick Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 I remember when these were new on car lots. Were very sharp at the time. Too bad performance never matched... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LS Sport had the tail light covers that were painted same as the body color along with different cluster, and some interior Impala badges on seats and doors. Not completely true. The body colored tail light panel was an option. There were no impala badges in the seats or doors. And in 04-05 there was an optional sport cluster that had a 140mph speedo on it.

Nick1234 Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) Correct, and it was called an LS Sport. And it came out in 03. You got the 140 SS(monte carlo) cluster, front bumper lip that was on the SS the next year, tail light covers, different dash trim, door panels had the Impala badge, and wheels. The SS then the next year got different spoiler, L67, grill, cluster with the boost guage, and i believe SS inplace of the impala badge on door panels.

5speedz34 Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 I haven't seen one of these in a long long time. I always thought they came with the Sport taillights, I guess I was wrong. That rear end looks like ass with the stock tail lamps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impala_03 Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 I know this thread is kinda old but I got one of the tail panels for the LSX it has "LSX" in the spot were the stage1 one should be at. My guess it was from a base LSX without supercharger I know the color does not match (It's not mounted anyways) Yes it is for sale too, you can find it on ebay. Galaxy silver in color. includes the LH & RH cover as a free bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedNightmare Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 So its a plain old impala with monte rims & a SLP grille insert & the LSX emblem that comes with it all over the place. If it really was true...atleast get some nice exhaust tips that are not the cheap ones from autozone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Yeah the Impala and Monte Carlo's that were done up by SLP were lame(compared to at least the Regal and GP). I don't know a whole lot about them, but I don't think any performance goodies were added besides exhaust. The Monte Carlo LSX's were all 3400 cars. The Impala's could have been done with the L36 I think, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Impala's could have been done with the L36 I think, though. Some did have the l36 & l67. I got to hear the difference between my monte and another co-worker's impala with the l67 once before...had a shitty K&n*cough cough* HOT air *cough* intake, and just flowmaster mufflers & no resonator delete. It had so much rasp to it!! Sounded horrific! I'd hate to say it but a fart can Subaru sounded better than it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
