Alright, I've been searching all over the place for 2006+ pushbars.  There is absolutely NOTHING for the long-wheelbase w-platform!  There's like, a K&N intake for the SS model, but other than that there's nothing.  I have to be looking in the wrong places.  GMpartsdirect.com offers an upgrade kit for the last gen w-body impalas but they have a shorter wheelbase.  The three things that I'm specfically looking for are:

9C1/9C3 pushbars or aftermarket
Front and back strut tower braces
FE4 suspension (Monte Carlo) or aftermarket equivalent

Check out www.galls.com for pushbars, I believe the ones on the Impalas are generic ones. Other than that my knowledge is limited on the new W-Bodies

Edit: Here's the one that's on the town pigs' cruisers http://www.galls.com/style.html?assort=general_catalog&style=SS065&cat=2695

That site had the go rhino brand, but only the 00-05 impala bars (shorter wheelbase)...
Then I found the go rhino pd site ( http://www.gorhinopd.com ) and it has the 06-07 long base, slightly different front end.  Unfortunately they only have body and interior upgrades, nothing about suspension.  I think this is the first thing I'm going to get, talked to Geico and they said it'd bring the car insurance down even further smile

Alright, so a little more research and referrals have brought up a bunch of bogus sites.  http://www.wbodystore.com has a bunch of stuff for the last gen W-Body (00-05 impala/monte, up to 03 grand prix), but I still can't find much of anything for current gen (06+), not even on http://www.gmpartsdirect.com !  If anyone knows of some site I've missed, feel free to let me know... The lean is killing me.

wbodystore.com FTW, that' awesome! *browsing site*

You should call galls and talk to them, they specialize in that kinda stuff. I'm not sure if it's the 9C1 package like my Caprice had, but tell them you have a base model impala that you want to upgrade to a 9C1

Still mostly unsuccessful...  I got a set of chrome GM wheels that I bought from my friend, had the tires mounted yesterday, so now on top of everything I'm also in search of Impala center caps for the wheels.

Not sure if it would look correct on your newer car, but on my caprice I used center caps off an s-10 that I spray painted silver. They actually looked really good.

At this point I'm considering getting chrome and either super glueing or doing something to put the side panel impala logo.  The search really has been fruitless.  I found the 00-05 logo (identical really) at http://www.streettrendsinc.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=BBODY&Product_Code=41514&Category_Code=00BDY ...  http://www.streettrendsinc.com also has an up and coming section for 06 impala, so I'm going to keep an eye out.
