Bonne Makeover

Post by YoungBonne12 »

After almost two years of dealing with a bubbled clear cost and stripped fenders, the Bonne finally got painted :bwoohoo: :') . A fresh cost of granite metallic and some cleared headlights goes a LONG way let me tell you. She looks brand new. I would show you pictures, but I still haven't figured out how to post them on the forum (2years later)... Haha whoops. But along with the fresh paint, I am getting a head unit installed this weekend, and 2 brand new re se 12's in a ported box. You have to try to shake the paint off right? :wink: I was already excited to drive it, but now, I won't ever have a reason not to drive (as long as I can get the Evap canister taken care of and nothing rattles off) just thought I'd share my recent "fortune" with y'all :beerchug:

UPDATE: it has taken a bit longer than expected due to some unfortunate mishaps :sadeyz: slid off the road going 65 (no damage, just flat tires) then went to pick it up, and backed into a rusty box on a telephone pole. :banghead: cracked bumper and busted tail light housing. good thing i have a step dad that owns a salvage yard, and does body work :wink:

well here she is. all painted, new head unit.

Glad to hear it! I just hope your painter did a good job, and it doesn't all chip off your front end like mine did...

It was done by a guy that works for my dad. He paints $80,000 vettes, real quality job. It glows compared to the new paint job on my mom's journey

Looks good! How do you like that Alpine head unit? I'm debating about picking up the same one.

i really am a fan of it for the money. the only thing i don't like is that you can't turn down the bass in the speakers without turning down the subs. but i guess that's why they have a sub level control. other than that, i like all the functionality with it. i would definitely recommend it. just have fun chopping out the back to make it fit, especially with RCA's in it.
