Year and Trim: 2004 SE
Sorry, I'm a bit of a noob. Tried to find out elsewhere so I wouldn't have to make a post about it and bother people, but I honestly have no clue how to tell was trim level my '04 Bonnie is.

Help appreciated! :)

If it has a single exhaust, it's an SE. If it has dual exhaust, it's an SLE or GXP. If there is one rectangular-ish exhaust tip on each side, it's an SLE. If there are two round exhaust tips on each side, it's a GXP.

You can also run the VIN on most any free online VIN decoder, and it will usually tell you.

If you look at the your VIN, the fourth and fifth characters tell you what body the vehicle is and the trim level.

HX = SE (H-Body, SE Trim)
HY = SLE (H Body, SLE Trim)
HZ = SSEi or GXP (H Body, SSEi or GXP Trim)

Here is a link to a GM VIN Decoder card for your model year...
