Yea mine didnt come with chrome there. It was the same color as the car. I had black by the windows too but i peeled it off.

Lucky you I wish that trim piece was body color on mine but the black Plastidip works for me.

I wonder if you can order pre painted rear trim pieces from the dealer

 

[sonic007]

Possibly. Im sure u can get it off from the inside under the panel.

 

[ThatTmoGuy]

Yeah its pretty easy to take off, I tried to dip it on the car a few times before I took it off to get it perfect.

hey man a few noob questions, how are those springs holdin up>? i like that drop, like i said i just wonder if they are competative with eibach, like for less body roll n ****, and, about the HIDs, idk anything about them, never had them, i want the purple ones i think they are like 15 or 18k? do they draw more on your battery? what about high beams? how did u tint ur corners? id be so nervous with the spray tint ****...

Lol no biggie. Springs are holding up very well. Handles amazing. Much less body roll. Hids are nice. Lots of controversy there. I like them. Love the look. You have to be careful with the colors. Dont want cops gettin ya. They dont draw much on the battery and also eliminate the flash some people get on stock bulbs when their bass hits. High beams I left stock. You arent supposed to flash hids so just in case. The corners i used the spray tint. Just take your time and tape it off good. Light coats are the best. Then afterwords hit it with a nice clear. Comes out awesome.

 

[sonic007]

you have great pictures.

Well thank you Eric!

 

[Eric Smit]

of course.

 

[sonic007]

Those will most likely be my shots for next months contest.

 

[sonic007]

Installed some infinity components saturday. Mounted the tweeter by the handle. Gonna mount the crossover to the door. Just havnt gotten to it yet.

 

[RoXXXanne13]

thanks for the help man! u deffinatly got one of the nicer sonics on here, certainly for the sedans, I am not a sedan guy at all, always been a hatch guy lol but yours is tight, that interior **** is awesome with the speakers!

 

[sonic007]

Lol thanks! Like I said ill be working on mounting the crossover on the door panel where its visible. Then drilling some holes for the wires. Should turn out pretty good. Eventually ill get back speakers and a small 4 channel.

 

[rmcgee74]

did you have to put a relay kit on your HID's?

 

[sonic007]

Yes I did. Its really simple to do. I did one on the hids and then 1 on the fogs.
