G6?

[Ghost]

Bonneville.

[havoc1482]

Welp. I finally got her home. LOVE IT! Drives like my Grand Prix but the exhaust sound is more fun 

 

 

 

 

[havoc1482]

OKay so question. What color "Forever Pontiac" decal should I get for the rear window? The Phoenix has a red one. But since this car is red... I'm not sure whats really accents it.

 

[Ringo64]

Nice, congrats bud!

[stratman]

Congratulations on your awesome new Pontiac, Havoc... she's a beauty!

I NEVER see these Bonneville GXPs, it's got to be quite rare. It's hard to find production numbers for late model GM cars for some reason.

I don't know what colors the sticker comes in, but I would stick with red since it matches the car, white would be good also.

[JUSTA6]

Nice ride.

Thanks guys! I was thinking just White because the red will most likely be a non matching red and I know that would bother me. White looks good on any color

i like! and yes, get white. or silver might work too.

What's hiding under the car cover?

Da Phoenix, uh oh!

[stratman]

Love that Phoenix, Havoc!

[EiGhTySeVeN]

Very nice Havoc. I've been wanting a GXP Bonnie for awhile. Love the color too. Congrats

[havoc1482]

Thanks 87. I was super lucky to find it. I still can't get over how nice this car is. I just washed and waxed it. Its just a damn good looking car. Wheels are probably my favorite thing about the exterior

I wish the arrow head on the front wasn't faded. It really bothers me. Phoenix was the same way when I got her and it was the first thing I replaced, but that was a bolt-on not a stick-on

Havoc congrats on your new ride. I got to test drive a Bonneville with a Northstar V8 in it back at the GTO convention in 2004. It was a helluva ride back then! You won't be disappointed.

BTW what model year is it?

Thanks Frosty. No disappointment so far! Driving has become fun again. Its a 2005. 160xxx miles and its (as far as I know) never had the headbolt issue which, if it was going to happen, would pop up at like 80-100xxx

 

The only issues I've found so far is 1 2 3 on the radio has the backlights burnt out just like my Grand Prix haha and like 3 of the dash\steering wheel buttons are flaking a bit from being pressed so much over the years.

 

Interior is immaculate. Just as good as the exterior.

My Camaro has it, well not on the cluster but it has the gauges stock.

Havoc have you checked Reflective Concepts for a front badge cover? You can get any color on either the inner color or the border. I used them on the front badge for my old 02 blue GP and was very happy. I test drove a GXP Bonnie back in the spring with less miles than yours but the front suspension was just too tired and it just didn't have the power I thought it would have. I swore my N/A 3.8 was quicker. It had to have been just that car, because I always hear rave reviews, including yours, on the driving experience of the GXP Bonnies and the one I looked at just failed. Good luck, and I may just join you in the GXP Bonnie club someday. BTW, what happened to the GP you had? Haven't been on here in awhile so I may have missed that

The headlight relay in the fuse box burned up. I put it out before it spread beyond the fusebox. GM offered me $3600 to take it or theyd fix it completely free of charge. I decided to take my chances with the money.

 

You know, funny thing is that my GP (with the 3.8 N/A) felt like it had more giddy up, but now that I actually thinkg about it the GXP just feels more sluggish because the acceleration is so smooth. I think I'm going 30 and I look at the speedometer and its pushing 50 and Im like "wtf?, no way I'm going that fast"

Also, this is what I was talking about:

 

 

I thought about the overlay but I like the look of the debossed crosshatch
