HOLY COW that thing is clean. Makes me miss my 92.

Oh, and your cloth AL7 seats are quite rare.

Looks awesome! I'm not a fan of the color of the wheels, but I like those type of wheels.

The wheels look nice. But my God, an SSEi with a wood dash and cloth AL7s, can I say my dream come true! Absolutely beautiful!!! :bwoohoo:

Ya I'm not a fan of the wheels at all, lol. I apologize that Polls aren't working, we're just kind of leaving it until we can get a new version of the site up and running.

Nice car in good shape. Not a fan of the wheels either, but to each his own.

I can't say I like the scheme on the wheels, but it is interesting, I like the color combo. Not a fan of the chrome stick-on trim either. But otherwise you've got a beautiful SSEi there, that's for sure!

Welcome to the forum!

Looks alot like the first bonneville I ever drove! Looks good for the age, some love and it'll go A LONG time for you.

It's turning into a sea of color! I'd suggest picking 2 colors, and/or a single color for the trim. I see black trim, stick on chrome trim, and gold in the badging and pinstripe and pontiac bumper logo, etc. Definitely pick silver/chrome or gold as your trim/accent color, and stick with it!

Wheels = no.. Totally kills the look of the aero's in the current scheme in my humble opinion. It's possible to do 2 tone, doing matching color inside the 3 large holes, and the small slats would be a more complete look, the gold is definitely more out there, but even with silver, it'd be interesting.

I'd suggest losing the chrome trim around the wheels and ontop of the door fascia, that stuff totally kills the smooth lines, and highlights others like the lower edge of the trunk. It pretty much never looks good on any modern car.

Jason, to be fair it appears that he bought the car that way.

Oh I'd also recomend getting rid of the chrome trim. Makes the car look cheap, but that's just my opinion...

Wow, that's in great shape.
I'm with everything as far as the colour combo goes for this car, but I think I would lose the chrome stuff. I doesn't flow with the gold / green combo. Also, I would track down a pair of exhaust tip covers, go with the OEM ones painted gold FTW.

Very nice.
