Yep. Camel interior. I've replaced a chunk of it with Medium Neutral to get the 03+ cupholders though. I also added heated seats elements from a 00 ssei. It is odd that both of us should be lacking the sunroof. I seriously think that if we compared VIN and RPO codes we would find they are identical.

Well, my VIN must give that thing fits:

Vehicle: BONNEVILLE SSEI 4 DR
Year: 2000
Build Date: 2000-04-07

So unless someone wrecked my car, took out the supercharger, redid the badging, took out the HUD and the inflator system, I would say that the thing is wrong.

What is the 8th digit in your VIN?

1 = SC
k = NA

Then you must have punched your VIN in wrong. Try it again?

Hey Gumball,

I am new to the forums and was browsing some of the older posts. First off, you car looks great. I noticed that you mentioned a fix for the windows sills. The sills on mine are half peeled and rusting a little. What did you do to get your looking good again. Thanks for any advice you may have.
