I popped in a dash bezel from a 92, I like the look on the dark gray interior.

The top is cloth. I've seen a fair number of 96-99 Bonnevilles with the aftermarket cloth top. What is somewhat suprising to me is I Have never seen the top in combination with the torque star wheels other than my car..... and the combo works well.

Gorgeous. The top actually makes the rear deck look shorter, which is awesome. Is your car a 40th, or are those just pontiac emblems?

Such an amazing car. I'm so glad you finally got pics up. I am truly jealous. It's so beautiful. The cloth top in my opinion makes the car with the all black exterior. And the fact it has an L67 is just icing on the cake! :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail:
I'm backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!

Yup, the top making the rear deck look shorter and with it blacking out the chrome trim along the windows in combination with the wheels give the car a hint of 92-95 SSE look. And yes those are Pontiac emblems, if this car was a 40th it'd be like one of 12.

Agreed, along with the U85 8 speaker sound system from the 92-96 SSE, two options that can be added.

I've come across two sets of dark pewter AL7s in great condition in the past although I did not buy them.

That's a very clean looking ride, I'm digging the cockpit styled interior, and I cant say I.ve ever seen 1 like that around here with the same top. I imagine the interior is similar 2 other newer Bonnies than mine but I've just advanced to the 6 seater, the ample amount of room room has only gotten ampler!
