I can assure you, I don't like orange at all.

Regardless of what you decide to go with, I can make one promise; we will all be behind your decision.


Unless it's the Injen intake and you're doing it for power. Then I hate you. ;P

So after wanting to find one in blue or orange and keep away from shades of black, you end up with cyber gray. Haha

Congrats!

Yeah, I know. They weren't able to find any 1.4T sedans with a manual within 500 miles in blue or orange. Sometimes it just doesn't work out like that.

So...

I walked into the Chevy dealer today to look again, and see what they had.

4 hours later, I own a 2013 Sonic LT Sedan, 1.4T manual with MyLink.

Cyber Gray with the Dark Pewter interior. I take delivery on Monday when the car arrives from the Dealer Trade.

I opted for the 5 year comprehensive warranty as the cars are still too new to know if things will start failing within that time period, and well I don't want to have to fix everything again.

Also, GM Friends & Family discount is awesome. That made the deal for me after the dealer tried to give me a price with 1k in markup.

It's still sinking in that I just bought a brand new car. opcorn:

Welcome to the Sonic family! Congrats! Glad you were able to take advantage of the Family & Friends discount!

So, I had asked to leave the front plate bracket off the car as FL doesn't require a front plate.

It's installed with big screws. I'd like to trade out the lower grille with one that doesn't have it installed, as none of the Sonics on the lot have them installed. How many of you think this is a possibility? My dealer doesn't seem like the friendliest in the world, but I'm not thrilled about two holes I didn't want in my bumper.

The bracket on mine is attached with rivets - I believe they are part of the bracket kit that comes with the car - you'd have to drill them out to remove the bracket. There's probably some federal or state law that required it to be riveted on. However, if you remove it, it's pretty easy to plug the holes with black plastic or rubber plugs and they blend in with the black plastic piece - you can see others in the forum who've done that.

I guess welcome to sof is a little late, but congrats on the purchase of the best color available on the sonic. Tint it out asap and it looks so much better. If you need to see pics check out my build thread of PB.
