where do i start? im trying to customize my 1997 pontiac bonneville?

[dirtyrythem]

In the end i want to change what it looks like on the outside and i want to change my interior. Do seat covers actually look good? or should i get new seats? I want to just completely change the look of my car. Where do i start?
I didn't ask for your opinion on if I should or not, regaurdless I'm keeping this car through college. It runs great and I'm going to get the most I can out of it, regaurdless of costs.

dude, it's not worth it. seriously. do you know how much custom car parts are? more than yours is worth. if you want it to look like complete sh*t, go to Pep Boys in the ricer section and help yourself. but aside from seat covers, floormats, and rims, there's nothing you can do with what piece of crap.

Why would you call someone Else's car a piece of crap ? He likes it and wants to customize it to his taste, that doesn't mean he's going to go out and spend a million bucks doing it.

Dude, there are ton's of ways to customize your car WITHOUT spending a lot of cash.

Like using nightshades to darken your tail light lenses, then there's interior paints you can use to change the interior look, and you can also get the spray paint die to recolor your seats to your taste.

Go to www.powerblocktv.com and look at the how to section, and also the dupli-color website has tons of how to info.

You could spend one weekend and maybe $30.00 in paint and tape, some imagination and patience and you could drastically change the looks of the car to your liking.

You don't have to spend a lot of cash, just some elbow grease and imagination.

Good luck, hope this helps

I agree with the post by gixerbike1. I just bought a 1997 bonneville sse, and am in the process of re-doing the interior, as there seems to be some water damage to the carpet. I would ignore the first 2 replies to your inquiry, as they seem to be people with nothing better to do than join forums to trash others. More than likely, they don't even own a car! Just do what it takes to make the car appeal to you.
