You gotta do what you gotta do.

Post your pics of your non-Bonneville, and If you have video footage, we want to see it. Videos must be hosted on external web space and hotlinked to PontiacBonnevilleClub.com. Also discuss mechanical problems regarding your non-bonneville (this is not another lounge, but posts don't count, random car vids not of your cars should be in the lounge)

Do it. How much do you charge for personal shipping and handling? :P

I got it back from the sunroof and auto armor today. Sunroof looks awesome, it's a Webasto. Hopefully the weather will stay nice for a bit so I can do the pic whorage thing.

*dang* it Seth!!! That's just mean of Prescott to go buy his blue G8 GT after I scratched getting the one up here in favor of saving $10k for a used G35 or Comp G GTP (then scratching them in favor of more college), and now you have to go and drop my cars twin in favor of the one I passed up (and it's gone now too).
BTW -when they put aftermarket sunroofs in do they put a drainage system in like factory or leave it drainless?

Sweet! Love that car.....I looked at the same one in Milton at Wallace Pontiac a few weeks ago. They had the same car in the V6 for about $27k, but my job at Cooper isn't stable right now. But if we get this new job with Cami, i may have to drop in to the dealer..... :wink:
Grats on the cool ride..... :)

I havent noticed it being too far back. The only thing that would make it awkward is if you are one of those idiots that likes to stand up through the sunroof. :???:
From what I have read, factory sunroof's on the GT are really rare. The 19"s are part of the sport and/or premium package, can't remember which.

Whooops, hold on. I need a towel! :ack:


OK, I'm back! That color is soo sweet! I, too, am waiting for my dealer 1\2 a mile frm me to come down to a better price, he is still holding 5 GTS @ $30 G's or more. I don't understand, its not like he's selling very much off the lot.

Congrats dude, enjoy it!
