Bumper Inlays......UPDATE 2 you can buy them

Post by 2003 SSEi »

They got approval from GM to Sell

http://www.pontiacbonnevilleclub.com/fo ... ml#p390154


They are done......see below in this thread....or click the link http://www.pontiacbonnevilleclub.com/fo ... ml#p378950


ok, so I have been thinking about this for a while now and I think it all makes sense.

First off, we need some help from the community to make this happen.......

The Bumper decal Inlays for the Bonneville is slim to none. The only thing out there is for the SSEi Badges. I think it would be awesome to be included in the Overlay market like all the other Pontiac Models.

I know we have a relationship with NHolds @ Flaimingdecals.net, so lets see what we can do here.......

I dont want to throw Harofreak00 under the bus on this one, but i think he may be the one that can help us the most on this project.

my Proposal.......

IF Andrew gets in a bumper cover that is not salvagable (damaged beyond repair) have him cut the "Bonneville" and the "Pontiac" Out of the rear bumper, and send it in to NHolds to see if he can make us a decal.


Here is an example of what the GP Guys have

Front Pontiac Inlay

Image

Front Pontiac Outlay
Image

Inlay and outlay combined
Image

Rear Pontiac Inlay

We could use this on the Front Plate, and Rear Bumpers......

I'll be going to the yards this week sometime if I can manage it. If Andrew can't, I will happily see if I can get cutouts from the black 2000 SLE they have there, if they still have it.

Reflective Concepts may also take this on...if the other guys won't. Their hardware is very good quality.

Awesome, The 2000 will only have the Pontiac on the rear bumper, but also the front plate filler too

Yes the pictures that I have posted are from Reflective concepts, they would be a good option if Flaming decals dosent want to do it

I could not find a place to contact Flaming decals, but i did contact reflective concepts

This is the email that i sent them

Hello,

I am a member of www.pontiacbonnevilleclub.com and I am writing to enquire about making a new line of decals for the Pontiac Bonneville Guys. I have used/and installed the Pontiac Grand Prix inlays on the 97-03 and also the 04+ and they are awesome!!. I know the biggest hurdle that the Bonnevilles encountered when trying to get inlays in the past was a lack of a "test" vehicle so the inlays could be made. There has been a member that has cut up a bumper to provide you with a "test" subject. At this time we have the Back bumper taken care of, we have yet to get a front plate example, However I would like to move on with the process to see if this is possible. I will attach the picture below and also link you to the thread on the forum.

Thanks!!!

Very nice!

I'm thinking I still might go for a chrome set like I mentioned to you at the car show. Just not 100% if I want to put them on or not yet.

But, I might just do it anyway (just wish Ohio didn't require front plates).

Reflective Concepts have to send the design to GM for Approval (and they are doing this as we speak) Once this is done, Matt is going to contact me to get some pics of my car and then they will be on the website for purchase
