Whats EVERYTHING i would need?

I have a 1995 Caprice, and i was wondering, what EXTERIOR parts would i need to make it looking identical to an impala ss..So far i have thought up:
Grill
get rid of hood ornament
badges behind rear side windows
spoiler
taillights
rims/tires
impala ss badges for the rear quarter panels
what else would i need to do??

Re: Whats EVERYTHING i would need?

Instead of making it look like an impala ss and getting new emblems and all that do some mods to it like shave the front hood emblem, remove all badging, shave door handles and trunk lock, get some rims (no lowering needed), a custom grill, and dual exhaust( impala's have them). If you make it look like an impala ss and try to sell it you can still only sell it as a caprice as that is what it is titled as no changing that. Better to smooth everything out than to make it look like something it's not.

You would also need an 8½" Saginaw 10-bolt 3.08 or 3.42 with rear discs, taller frame channels with reinforcements (can steal them from an SEO/taxi), body color side mouldings, DeCarbon inverse rate shocks (higher rebound damping than regular B-Car), lower ratio steering box, interior emblems including the headrests, leather seats, and propbably a few other things I'm forgetting.

Re: Whats EVERYTHING i would need?

That seems pointless. The looks aren't what really differentiate an Impala from a Caprice.
