Looks weird, TBH. You do know they make a license plate filler, right?

And you obviously don't have an 05 SSEi. What is/was your car?

Yes... I have the license plate filler that says "PONTIAC". Unfortunately, Ontario mandates front plates. I keep forgetting to install the filler for photos and meets!

Oh, and the red in my arrowhead was broken in half by a stone chip, so I removed the red entirely. It's entirely chrome/silver now and I don't mind it!

Read my intro post.


I know they make the filler plate, but I like the smooth front too... hmmm.

IMHO, you'd spend way too much time/money doing this to a plastic bumper, then to have it potentially fall off or be destroyed if you were to ever tap a pole, etc...

I'd say leave the arrowhead, but I kinda like the smooth bumper.

I like the smooth front bumper but Missouri also has the front license plate law.

What I REALLY want is recessed grills like the GTO can get.

Image

I think those would really dress up the GXP and make the front
look more similar to the other Bonnies and not look like a G6.

No aftermarket mods for the GXP. :sad:

I've always wished the SLE/SSEi bumper grill looked a little more like that. The bottom and sides of the recess look good but then its abruptly cut off by the top part that's a sharp edge unlike the rest of the grill opening.
