Forgive me for being a noob but I never knew a such trim existed for these cars. Learn something new everyday lol. Anyway, nice looking car bro!
One of these days, I'll get around to putting together on article going over all this with pictures. This will have to do for now. I'm going off the top of my head on this, so I may have missed a few things.
The 2000 Daytona 500, 2001 Special Edition and 2002 40th Anniversary Edition basically all had the same exterior appearance package: Functional heat extracting hood vents, "NASCAR inspired" roof spoilers, specific rear deck lid spoiler and dual-dual exhaust tips. The Daytona only came in silver, the 40th only came in dark cherry metallic, and the SE was available in silver, white, red and black. Only the 40th received key colored roof spoilers (as well as front and rear lower fascias). All other cars that came with them got black roof spoilers regardless of the color of the car. The Daytona got a polished version of the ordinary 3-spoke wheels that were available that year while the SE and 40th received specific 16" 15-spoke wheels (with respective specific center caps). The hood vents were carried over to the '04+ Special Edition package equipped GPs, and the 15-spoke wheels were optional on that package as well.
On the inside, the 3 carried the same concept of a 2-tone interior. The Daytona and SE got a graphite and light gray combo for the inner portions of the seats (only the headrests and upper portion of the seat backs on the Daytona, while SEs got gray on the bottoms as well) with light gray leather on the door panels, top plastic trim of the center console and the large plastic dash trim piece that goes around the gauges, radio, HVAC controls, etc. The 40th got the same arrangement except with a graphite and ruby red theme that also carried over into the steering wheel, and a ruby red gear shifter knob. However, the leather on the seats and door panels in the 40th received no perforation holes for some reason. The Daytona received a Daytona 500 plaque below the gear shifter indicator on the center console, and had the Daytona 500 logo embroidered on the upper portion of the front seat backs. The 40th had 40th Anniversary embroidered in the same spot on the seats as well as on the floor mats, and the SE received no embroidery, but had removable metal SE badges in the leather on the front door panels.
The Daytona only came as a 2-door GTP while the SE and 40th were available in coupe or sedan, GT or GTP. The Daytona and SE had the ordinary badges on the outside indicating trim level. The Daytona also had Daytona 500 sticker decals behind the doors (starting at the far back of the doors) on both sides, as well as the text "D A Y T O N A 500" written in big letters below the trunk lid. The SE received a "Special Edition" sticker decal set off to the right side just below the trunk lid. The 40th only used specific "GP 40th Anniversary" badges on the doors and trunk lid with a "Grand Prix" sticker decal written in the standard GP font on the back of the spoiler. The only indication of whether a 40th was a GT or GTP was the small Supercharged badges (same exact ones used on the trunk of the Buick Regals) on the outer sides of both heat extractors on the hood, which almost always fell off at some point.
.....any other questions?
