Ok, so ive seen like a few diff exhaust tip setups in my drivings around. I have the big trapezoidal(squarish)ones, I have also seen another SSEi with oval ones, so Im just wondering if anyone know what was stock for SE'* SSE'* and SSEi'*, I love mine and dont wanna change em, gonna have em chopped off and put on the new exhaust. THis will just help with my identifying differant bonne'*.

02-03 SLEs and SSEis had the Oval tips. 00-01s had the cowbells.

Cool, thanks. I wasnt sure if there was an option for the tips or not. I like mine cause they seem cast really well. Thicker. I'll take everything else as aftermarket.

other than rims, badges and headrests, its another really good way to differentiate years

headrests, huh? Does this require a new thread? Or maybe a thread explaining the diff options for each trim? the things you listed with pics?

00-01 got the cowbell exhaust tips, older style badges, and headrests with the cutout in the middle. only the 00'* got the "PONTIAC" on the rear bumper. the 00-01 both had the swoopies, but the 00 had carbon fiber centercaps, while 01'* have a solid chrome centercap

02-03 got the oval exhaust tips, new style slanted badges, solid headrests, and the slanted 5 spoke chromies

there are probably a few more differences, but thats the basic ones I use to tell.

Cool!

Don't think my '00 came with swoopies? It has a different style on it and I believe they are stock! I wish they had swoopies!

Swoopies were the chrome style rim from 00-01

this shows the available wheels for 00

The chrome swoops were a $900. option.

Another difference is the location of the heated seat controls and center cup holder.
