New Member Intro - Black '04 Bonneville SE

[Rouser]

Just wanted to introduce myself and my Bonneville to the forums. I'm an East Coast member from the Sunshine State (Go Gators!), so thankfully my Bonneville has not seen a harsh Winter. I've been following the forums for a couple of months, and I have finally gotten around to showing off my car. Thanks for all the info provided by the members, it has helped me immensely in customizing my Bonneville. I love the styling of the Bonneville and the fact that it's not a car you see too often on the road.

So to introduce you all to my Black '04 Bonneville SE, I thought I would show some pictures of her various modifications along the way. Let me know what you think.

Original Pontiac 16" Wheel Covers with Goodyear Assurance Triple Tread tires


New 18" Goodyear Eagle GT tires with Sport Tuning Thrust rims.


Goodyear Eagle GT Tires - 235/50ZR18


Cleared Headlights - Replaced Stock White Bulbs with Amber Bulbs (Will be replacing soon with Silverstars)


Cleared Tails - Amber Bulbs, Silverstars soon enough...


Llumar Tint - 35% Front, 15% Rear








When I get a chance, I'll update with pictures with better lighting. The above pics don't really do her justice. I get complimented on the rims almost everywhere I go. Gotta love the Bonnevilles! Any questions(?), feel free to ask...

My lord, even the lurkers have cleared tails!!


LOL, welcome to the club, and very nice ride!! Can't wait to see some better pics of her!

[Rouser]

And boy was it a pain in the butt to get them cleared. Took me a whole afternoon and evening to get them done. Was well worth it though...

Welcome to the club.

AWESOME rims by the way!

[gonzo4191]

holy big tip

nice 04, but i might be biased

[petraman]

I usually hate rims. I think they're usually a waste of money that can be used for better things. BUT! Your rims are INCREDIBLE! I actually want those for MY car! Who makes them? Seriously, I want to price them out... lol

[GoldenBullet]

welcome to the club, great looking bonnie, those rims look great!!!



one thing i think that would really set it off would be removal of the rear "bonneville" badge

[Rouser]

The rims are called "Thrust" and are made by Sport Tuning. I bought them from TireRack.com

Here are some better pics that also show off my red calipers











And yes the exhaust bothers me too. Dual tipped, dual exhausts soon enough.

maybe in FL around these parts, its one of the most common cars on the road.

one of the best looking SE's on the site!!

[MileHiSSEi]

I saw those wheels on tirerack but didn't like them in their pic but have to say they look awesome on the car, great choice. The car looks great!

[its840]

great looking car!! love the rims too!! how do you like the new eagle gt's??

Where at in florida are you from? im as close as anyone will get to the swamp...

[Jrs3800]

welcome to the club... I am a stones throw from KSC myself..

[Rouser]

I am quite impressed with the GT's. The ride isn't quite as smooth as the triple treads, but overall I am quite happy with them. Plus they have great traction when the roads are wet, and here in Florida that always comes in handy. If you need a tire I'd highly recommend them. My dad liked them so much, he had them put on his car too.

[TenGHz]

Very nice! Your paint is in amazing shape. What do you use to keep it up? Looks great!

[WhiteArrow3800]

Wow you SE looks slick!

The shot of the rear is awesome. And those wheels look great too. Nice ride!
Welcome to the Community!

[95SLE]

Nice Bonny. I sort of like the 04's myself. Stay away from Jrs3800 he is a bad influence, bad very bad, He will have you attending a meet in no time at all.

Welcome to the club.

[Jrs3800]

Glad to know you still think about me Tom

You and the family will have to come to the sunshine state some day

[RJolly87]

maybe in FL around these parts, its one of the most common cars on the road.

Because you keep buying them from all across the country and selling them locally

And again, welcome.

[Rouser]

Yeah to be honest I do see older Bonnevilles quite often here in Florida, but 00+ models are few and far between. I probably only see one a day at the most. I often get asked what car I drive, and when I tell people I drive an '04 Bonneville they just look at me dumb founded as to what kind of car that is. I was in a parking lot the other day and a woman walked up to my car to ask me where I got my rims, I told her, then she asked me what kind of car it was. She said she "hadn't seen one of these before." Made me laugh.
