Here are a couple crappy cell phone pics of it. I just picked it up about three months ago and it's bone stock. I have some future plans for it, but I have already blown most of my car budget on my 02 Trans Am. So, I'll have to wait a little while before I can start modding it. I really like this car, and almost enjoy driving it as much as my TA. Night and day difference between the two. The Bonneville replaced my Chevy truck as my new daily driver and I couldn't be happier.

ohh likin it! (I have an SLE in the same color)
For some free mods : Clear the front and rear signals, and remove the badges. You can also clean up/polish those exhaust tips. Those are the first mods I did.

Thanks, I'll take your advice and work on that. I'll try and get mine looking as good as yours!

I made sure to pull it in all the way before I closed the garage door! :wink:

Here are a few pics of my TA. It's pretty heavily modded and I only take her out when the weather is nice.

It's an auto (4L60E) It has a Trans Go valve body kit and a Yank SS 3600 stall converter. I had a 99 m6 Camaro SS. It was fun at first, but nothing beats a stalled A4 IMO. I rape 6 speeds all the time :wink:

Here are some of the mods:

-Thunder Racing 227 XTR Cam
-ET Performance 215cc CNC heads
-Comp chromoly pushrods
-ARP Head studs
-42# SVO injectors
-Racetronix fuel system w/hot wire kit
-Custom tune by RMCR
-Yank SS 3600 stall converter
-Trans Go valave body kit
-Pacesetter Ceramic coated long tube headers w/ORY
-Magna Flow stainless cat-back exhaust.
-Nitrous Outlet Plate System (150 shot)
-Two stage FJO nitrous contoller
-SLP Lid
-Holly Pro Shot filter
-BMR chromoly Torque arm, lower control arms, panhard rod and relocation control arm brackets.
-UMI boxed sub frame connectors
-Eibach springs (Pro-kit)
-TA girdle with ARP carrier studs
-American Racing Torque Thrust 2's 17x9 (front) 17x11 (rear)
-Nitto DR's 315/35-17's rear.
-Summito 275/40-17's (front)

That's most of the mods off the top of my head. I'm sure there are some that I have left out, but that's pretty much the meat of it. I do have an LS3 block sitting in my garage for a 416ci stroker build I have planned for the future.
