I wish...
So since i'm getting a new car and keeping the bonneville, i thought maybe do some work on it, use it as a practice car.
Mostly body work, some mechanical and other random stuff.
So i made a chop at what I'd like it to look like...
some of the things done:
shaved door handles
shaved gas door (probably be located in the trunk like a friend did w/ his blazer)
Smoothed and shaved trunk
SSEi tails tinted and cleard (not the best look in the chop but it was hard to find a donor pic)
and i couldn't get it to turn out in the chop but: blackout the chrome trim
oh and lowerd a few inches
most likely very little to none of this stuff will get done seeing as i'm going to moving away to college in less than a year and i really don't have the tools to do some of the stuff, but if i don't work too much this summer maybe then. But hey i can dream can't i :P

hey blacking out the chrome is probably the easiest and will do much for the whole black and white theme.
I bought some "black out tape" from Murray'* and did mine, haven't had any problems with peeling or anything, just try not to have any seems, only cut where the trim ends. I have tiny gap of chrome in the middle of my front bumper from the tape shrinking in the cold.
good luck!
where are you going to school?

i like it, the shaved trunk would probably be the easiest shave, since you wouldnt have to do anything to the hardware or anything, wait, unless you dont have a remote popper...
