The 04/05 GXP Bonnevilles are my absolute favorite Bonneville as far as looks go...and yours is no exception! Looks good. :wink:

I really like your stock wheels, but I do agree that a sporty set of chrome 5 spokes would set it off nice.

I miss my GXP but one press of the gas on my STS-V makes me forget about it lol. Your GXP looks great though! Dont go chrome they would look ugly on that car imho. Chrome looks best on a RED or Black GXP thats it!

Great looking GXP!! I do love the styling on the GXP, and I'm in love with the gauges in them!

Also, great location for pictures, too! Your color sets well with the industrial-esque look/color of the buildings!

Hey thanks... It's a part time job keeping those wheels clean, but im leaning toward keeping them!!!

I think chrome would look pretty decent, but your right it does look good on black and red GXPs...
Thats a peppy ride you got!!! my uncle has one!!

Updated this 1st post with photos of the GXP decal overlay (RED) i got a couple of weeks ago..
