Default What else am I missing??

Seems like over the years, GM dropped a few things. Wondering if anyone else can add to my list of missing items...

2001+ GM dropped the door panel courtesy lights. Red teardrops only, no electrical.
2002+ GM no longer puts a lock cylinder in the front passenger outside door handle.
2004+ GM no longer installs the fuel door lock solenoid.

But didn't the price of these cars keep going up :?:

Are you referring to the outside door lock? These continued at least until '04 (and I suspect '05) around the ignition key. One on the outside lock would be cool though

IIRC, they also replaced the tilting headrests with ones that don't tilt/rotate in 2003 (I think)

well in 03+ they got a different seat. which (I beleive) was pulled from the aurora'*, and the bonneville ones didn't have the tilting headrest like the Aurora ones did... He could get some Aurora one'* and swap.


as for te light ring around the door lock, I'm sure that could be a very easy mod aswell
