Looks like a very clean car overall, love that color! But you gotta get rid of your HIDs.

Nice teggy too.

Very clean Bonnie! What all have you done to it so far? I see the motor came out... how many miles?

[erickaltman]

i bought it with the dash saying 120k miles and owner claiming he just put in a rebuilt motor. Well that lasted 4-5 months and spun a bearing. Put a rebuilt motor in with about 70k miles on it, replaced starter, battery, belt, thermostat,etc the basics haha. Has brand new 6000k HID in headlights and fogs, aftermarket radio(still have the bose).

Nah, I wouldn't get rid of the HIDs . . I like em.

Looks very clean though! Nice Bonneville.

Welcome to the club . . and I see Illinois license plates. Where are you in this state? I reside in Illinois myself, Chicago to be exact.

Nice car. The 96-99 sse/ssei bodystyling is probably my favorite.

Thanks all, im from southside chicago, orland park/homer glen area. I like the HIDs i got them they look real good, picture just makes them look green for some reason. I like the car alot.does anyone know if a series three engine cover will fit on a series two? Bought a custom air brushed cover hope they fit if not its for sale

I thought that neighborhood and that Acura looked familiar! I lived in Orland Park my whole life. Still have a place there for now too.

[erickaltman]

Yea that acura is actualy in palos heights. All the other pics are in homer glen

[SSEiMan01]

I spent a lot of time in Palos when I lived up there. Worked at the Ace Hardware for a few years too.

[erickaltman]
