Being a poor college student, I thought I'd share my unique blend of 'custom on a budget'.

Re: Rollin' Out!
First off welcome!
I can relate on the poor college kid front. But you did a *dang* good job with that SE. You should clear your headlights! Silver cars beg for it. You gotta post more pictures too.

Re: Rollin' Out!
Very nice car, and x a million on pretty good for a college student(I can relate).

gone, but I'll never forget it-2000 Buick LeSabre Limited, top swapped, ported gen3, MPS pulley system, FWI, SD headers, hockey puck mod, thrush turbo, 255lb pump, 180 t-stat, 245s on bullitts, and maybe some other things that I forget.

Re: Rollin' Out!
Hey, thanks everyone for the positive feedback!
My entire 'master' plan for her:
Body: Clear the headlights/tailights, lightly tint the rear, tint the windows (to code in VA), apply GXP trim (bumpers/tailights, spoiler), get SLE side skirts, scrape off the rear 'Bonneville' logo and replace it with one last and tasteful Autobot symbol.
Engine: True dual exhaust with GXP tips (not loud but a low growl), cold air intake, performance chip, and maybe add some cubic inches...but honestly, I'd rather not change the 3.8 too much...the power and mileage they get makes them the best engine ever made!
The last idea i've been having for a while is somewhat unorthodox. Buy a wide body kit for a similiar car (grand prix) because they aren't offered for bonneys and splice it onto her. I was thinking just build the GXP look out a little...a little wider and edgier...if I ever have the money, buy some new wheels to fill the larger wells too.
I'll post some new pics this weekend so I can get in the running for COTM too!
AND, Jazz is a solstice! But I think he would of been better off a Bonney :]

Re: Rollin' Out!
Welcome to the Club! Where about in Virginia are you?
Looks like you've got a nice plan going. Those wheels really don't look half bad in black on the '00+

Re: Rollin' Out!
I was afraid of the coating not being even, but I've been painting with spray for so long, it was just a matter of keeping steady haha!
I'm rolling around in the Chesterfield County area, how about you?
Thanks guys!
