what did you do to your Sonic today?

[laborsmith]

Do they ever post here or know we exist

To my knowledge, Design Rides has never posted on this forum. I believe one of the SOF members is acquainted with John Williams and that members posts led me to Design Rides. They do know we exist.

Making aftermarket body parts is not their normal business; John Williams was given an opportunity to do a Chevy sponsored SEMA show car (prepping show cars would be one of their core businesses) and part of what he did led to the front lip currently on my Sonic.

Took my baby to the body shop because someone didn't understand the concept of "staying in your lane while turning."

Just ordered front and rear mud guards (factory) and also the roof rack. Planning on buying a Thule bike rack also. I'll post some pics when they're on if anyone's interested.

Roof rack?! I'm jealous...I've been eying a Rhino rack but have to wait a bit before buying. However, I did order a K&N filter and Eibach springs today!

Got the RS suspension installed in my sedan today. Waiting for it to settle to see where it sits. Right now it is about 1/4" higher in the front and the same in the back.

What's the difference between the standard suspension and the RS suspension?

 

[Macehammer]

It's lower. A little. And stiffer. A bit...

...now I'm second guessing yesterday's Eibach spring order

Got myself a go-fast sticker!

It adds 10 hp to make up for the aerodynamic drag.

 

[AdorableKaren]

Lol I think that could get you 12hp

[Macehammer]

[firstorbit84]

Autocrossed it!

...in the rain.

Video of some sloppy wet driving too follow.

Also picked up a sweet Chevy hat from AutoZone and some black vinyl striping that I'm going to use to black out my rear chrome trim piece, and maybe a couple of other things

 

[chivalryder]

Can't wait for the videos! I love playing in the rain!
