GXP Front Bumper Cover on an SSEi?

Post by mthedude »

Would a GXP Bonneville front bumper cover match up and fit a 2000 SSEi?

Just cusious. I like the GXP's looks better and mine needs re-painted anyway.

It should. I've seen people with them on. Although the problem would be finding one! Let alone same color.

Yes. You'll need to get the support foam behind the bumper, along with the front bumper extensions (wheel well), and front wiring harness (foglights are different).

I wouldn't expect to find one cheap. If you can find one under $300 I'd be surprised.

The foglight harness is not needed. Its the same.

The foglight harness is most definitely not the same, this is coming from someone who has replaced many a foglight in the GXP. It is a completely different style to go with the projector and H3 bulb, the whole back cover of the foglight IS the plug.
