If you really want the blue, get some blue tinted HALOGEN bulbs. Plug and play HIDs or LEDs will make your vision worse in bad weather and blind the ever loving *shoot* out of oncoming traffic. And no, you cannot adjust the aim to make things any better. I'd advise sticking with stock, or getting some HIR bulbs, but those are not going to be blue.

Poly engine mounts don't exist for these cars. The best upgrade you can do to keep the motor in place is to replace the stock marshmallow front transmission mount with a hockey puck or boat roller style mount. You can get details on how to do it in the sticky at the top of the 2000-2005 section.

You can get poly sway bar links to tighten things up, but there is very little to modify these cars in the aftermarket.

That won't fit your car. There are a lot of parts for Grand Prixs that will not fit the Bonneville.

OE mounts are the nest quality.
The boat roller mount from Harofreak00 (or make it yourself) is the only upgrade on mounts.
