Looking good! Those corners make it look awesome. I love how the speedo wraps around the Aeroforce from the driver's perspective.

Thanks for the comments guys.

I'm pretty sure I'll have the fundage to get a few things painted next spring, which will include the SSE nose.

Nice to see the car all together for once! :poke: haha j/p!

Can't believe how clean it is for its age and being a Michigan car!

Well, it's only been a true Michigan car for 2yrs, so I've got a little advantage there. :poke:

The car originally came from Daytona Florida, it was a detectives car. I found old registration papers and some 38 special +P's under the back seat. Also there was a speaker wired under the passenger side of the dash, and abandoned mounting holes all over for who knows what.

Actually the interior is STILL not all in, I have yet to finish the head liner and put all the interior back in. But progress is still being made, just like I'll get to that PEM someday soon too.

Eventually I'm going to have a brand new 1999 Bonneville SE with all the parts I've replaced.

Thanks, it's the one thing on the exterior that I focused on.
Probably the most expensive part of the chrome trim delete has been the strip that goes all around the car. I found a company that makes a very close match in depth and width in solid black.

About how much trim did you have to buy because I'm thinking about replacing mine...

digging that color more and more, there is a guy driving around my work with one. I need to catch him and tell him about the site one of these days,

I still dont see many Bonnevilles in the Boston area, but im ok with that, makes my car different than all the other cookie cutter models out there. :)

I can't remember exactly how much footage I bought, but all you have to do is measure around the car and then give yourself an extra foot. :wink:
This is the place I bought the trim from and the style that I got.
