I seen one, didnt have a camera with me, oh well, aside from a gold pinstripe and about 7 decals on it that said gold edition it didnt look much different than a regular aurora so i wa sjust wodneirng if anyone knew if thise was a dealer/custom job or if it was a factory option?

definately not a factory option. Dealers sometimes install "packages" such as that, to make the person buying it think they're getting something extroadinarily special when they are looking at it. I've seen a "gold" edition Bonneville before too around here. It was a 2000+ white, with a "gold" colored faux convertible top. It had all gold colored emblems and pinstriping too. It looked really tacky the way it was done though. . :?

Ya, definitely not factory. I guess the dealer wanted to "pimp" the ride, maybe to sell it for more?

they do that at my dealer with the Esaclade, they have a "Slade" edition. for the most part i think its just Aftermarket rims and badging

I've seen various vehicles done like that by local dealerships.

Not my cup-o-tea...

one thing i found funny was that this supposedly gold edition had no gold coloration other than the decals and pinstripes, the body was silver and it had chrome rims

looks like my dealershipe made a Cardomain page for the "slade" for there 03 model (it shows the changes they made

Theres a gold edition Intrigue around here that I wish I could get my grubby paws on.

Its black with the chrome version of my rims, and the only thing gold about it is the gold pinstriping around it, which matches up pretty well.

I asked the lady who owns it what the gold edition was and she said she didnt really know, that she thought it was just the gold pinstriping and stuff.

So im also thinking its a dealer option to jack the price up.

you know.....i remember seeing an option for the gold edition on oldsmobile'* website when they were still selling cars.

also the gold emblems are available from gmpartsdirect

I saw an Aurora today that said "Gold Edition" on the left side of the taillight. Didn't have the time to take a good look, though.
