Can you both tell a difference from a 96-99 Bonnevilles just by looking at them? If so, let me know. No VIN'*, no peaking on the doors, just by interior and exterior. Hehehe! (I picked those 2 because they say they know trims and cars by looks. I want to really test them)

I would put down the 2000-2003 but thats too easy.

I think the 96/7 had silver border around the grill.

Nope. No silver border around the grill on my old '97.

Engine cover, wheels (chrome only offered in 98-99), SLE insignia (only 98-99), 40th aniv. edition indianhead (only in 97), exterior and interior colors.

Was your 97 an SLE, SSE or SSEi?

All of the SE'* had a chrome trim around the grill.

The exterior colors is a start.

I don't know too much abuot the 96-99'* but i could try, mine is OBVIOUSLY a 93, they only had 93 SLE for about a month at the end of the production run, and 93 was the last year for my exhaust...
