Looks good I love those SSEi wheels.
Since day one of owning our GA I wanted those wheels on it, hard to find and when you do they aren't cheap.

I love them rims too. Sure wish I had that car insted of my GA. Them are sweet

Very nice indeed. I've always loved the boosted Bonnies. :thumbup2:

Dargasonus

11-18-2007, 11:12 AM

Yeah I'm really falling in love with all of the goodies my GA didn't have :lol:

Luxury with every option I could think of (+ some I didn't know existed) + a little giddie up :lol:

But..be prepared to watch the MPG drop when the boost gauge starts gettin above the 0 :lol: :bolt:

Great car.

I will actually be getting the 04 - 07 Grand Prix GTP with the same motor. ;)

How is the insurance rate :???:

Gah stupid pic host!!! What ever host you use I can never see it on the work computer! Makes me angry!!!! lol

I bet its still sexy though. I love those SSEi's.

Dargasonus

11-19-2007, 03:04 AM

Dan the insurance on this is about 30 bucks cheaper a month than the GTP would have been I was lookin at

Damnit Josh :lol: Those are photobuckets, i'll upload a couple in imageshack when I get home from work

There is nothing wrong with a GTP 4 Door.

Yes there is especially the older models. They just dont have the same flow at all compared to the coupe!! lol

They will spoil you very fast!

What is real fun is to kill a few ricers with them. Most people see nobody but middle aged or older drivers in them (What a waste of a supercharger, eh?).

Honda Owners: "WTFOMG! :eek: "

Yea, it's freaking rediculous, that's the first time I've ever sat in leather, let alone heated.. It was heartbreaking getting back in the balt :lol:

The pictures just don't do it justice, it's in absolutely amazing condition.. I love it

These are great cars man, you've got some decent power there, take care of it.

Best. Sedan. Ever.

I'm more than a bit envious :D

Amen!! I haven't heard any of my friends or co-workers knocking my '4 door' =D

good to hear the whine...but more stuff to break:lol:

XoticGA

11-22-2007, 07:08 AM

Yeah..the whine is addictive. But high gas prices are my patch :lol:

Nice ride, I always liked how those look :D

11-24-2007, 12:20 AM

Looks amazing!!!! Yes I finally got on a computer I can see the pics at.

XoticGA

11-24-2007, 08:46 AM

Yeah it's in really great shape for the age IMO. A few minor scratches on the passanger side but other than that I haven't noticed anything.

Yucky dealer sticker is coming off today weather providing :lol:

Debadge or not to debadge? Any opinions?

XoticGA

11-24-2007, 09:07 AM

Oop, forgot whos computer I was on :lol:

bballr4567

11-24-2007, 04:02 PM

Nah, I personally wouldnt debadge it. Most people have no clue what the SSEi is anyways. The only thing I dont like is the HUGE HUGE reflector on the truck lid. Thats always stuck out to me on Bonnies.

XoticGA

11-24-2007, 05:34 PM

Yeah, just tryin to limit the 'Here I am, come key me' aspect as much as posssible. The rear end grows on ya, I like it :)

bballr4567

11-24-2007, 06:15 PM

Regardless if it has a S/C or not its still a Bonneville and people will think its some old guy driving it. You dont have a thing to worry about.

Gagt518

11-24-2007, 06:22 PM

Just tint it 5% and you will be good ;)

Brad97GS

11-24-2007, 07:02 PM

Looks great! The Bonneville is definitely a nice car to own... :) And as I'm on my 3rd 3800-powered vehicle (two boosted, one n/a), you can guess my feelings toward that engine!

Dargasonus

11-25-2007, 07:43 PM

I'm hearing great things about these engines :)

Thanks for the pm btw Brad

How is the insurance rate :???:

actually it isn't the same motor.

nice looking bonnie! thought you didn't want a bonnie though? I was on the hunt to find a SLE when my fiance needed a new car but they were impossible to find at a reasonable price.

I thought I didn't..but after I drove one compared to the GTP it was an easy choice :)
