New member.. some questions

Post by Birdflewls1 »

Hello all.. I Just resently Picked up my 2000 SSEi.. Im very well into the whole 3800's nothing new to me. Just my First bonneville so to speak. I was just wonder if any one knows of any After market wheels and tires that would look good on my car, and or Hood. I've only seen of one aftermarket hood online ever not sure if he made it or not. My car is Midnight Blue Metallic.. Im lookin for a Black or Gun metal colored wheel. Just not sure what to get.. any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

You won't find an aftermarket hood for your car. No one makes them, as the bonneville isn't as mainstream as a car to mod as a Grand Prix, or something like that. Any custom hood will be just that, custom. You'll have to either make one or have someone make them.

Welcome Aboard!

You'll find that the aftermarket isn't huge for these cars. Most of what we have is what happens to be transferable from the Grand Prix or other 3800 powered vehicles. You'll also find many of the members here are very creative and do their own fabrication and such.
