HID headlights, with the the grill entries painted a blue with silver pearl, black Pontiac emblem. Fog lights are smoked out.

Image
Both side mirrors have white LEDs underneath them. They light as soon as the key is taken out of the ignition, or doors are locked/unlocked.

Image
Spoiler got painted the same blue (with Silver pearl) as the grill entries

Image
Supercharger kit, chrome headers, cool air intake, PSI gauge, Pontiac oil cap.

GXP rims. Also, the interior has the same carbon fiber inserts from the GXPs (steering wheel, vents, door handles).

Welcome!

Looks good! Kinda different with the blue accents. What headers are you running?

Where are you at exactly in MN (if you don't mind me asking)?

Yes, it was Reuben's Bonneville, haha. Got it back in early March. He absolutely gets the credit for all the work done to it besides the grill and spoiler paint. It's an amazing car. Reuben is a great guy, it was fun talking and dealing with him. I could tell that he was sad to see his Bonneville go, but he was extremely excited about his Mustang project. He put a ton of time and work into the Bonneville. The SSEi was what we were looking for all along. Had to get some work done to it since we got it from him, but it's a keeper! I've been following this website since before we got the Bonneville, but today I decided to actually join and post pictures.

It's been some time, and I snapped a few pics with my phone after a car wash this past weekend. These rims are the stock rims that were delicately spray-painted at the end of summer as the GXP rims are the summer wheels. Got new tires for on these for the winter, and some antique Pontiac mud-guards.

I am turning this into a Batmobile in a few subtle ways. First-off is the decal on the taillights. It's fun seeing the looks people give me on the interstate. A couple of occasions I've passed people and watch their reaction turn into a smile as soon as they see the rear-end. Some fancy Batman door lights have also been put on the front doors, and Pontiac lights on the back doors.

I think those stock 17s are awful in the stock silver, but I am really liking them painted black!

I like posting pictures, so thought I would!
Only changes I've made from the previous ones are new foglights. They're supposed to be halos, but it's kind of hard to tell that they have halos around them, haha. But, they are super bright at night which is great! They show the ditches well.

These are from the summer before I left for college:

It was so nice out today that I had to go get a carwash. I put some wax on it to hopefully give it extra protection for the rest of the winter!

I think that Grand Prix deserves to be called the Batmobile! That is one mean-looking car!
