Got around to painting my skid plate today. Me and a friend decided to add a little artistic flair to it haha

my $.02, your rims are sweet, they add nice character. and I like what you did to the skid plate.
HOWEVER, I hate slammed cars. that's the only thing I dislike about your build. you wouldn't have to worry about speed bumps and potholes otherwise....
not bad overall

The skid plate Dimensions are 30" wide by 32.5" long and is made of 1/8th inch steel plate. It is strong enough without being to thick. and it only cost me $50 to do. I attached the skid plate to the front cross member with some bolts through the many pre-existing holes that are already there. it is bolted into soild sturdy locations.
love the ride man and also love the wink mirror and everything that you have done. so with the lowering coils you have how much did those cost and did you have to do any certan mods to anything. but the wink mirror, when installing it how did you, and do you like the views it gives you

Thank you ChevyST. The coil over install is pretty straight forward, the only thing you have to do is drill out the two lower bolt holes where the coil over assembly bolts to the front spindle. The holes on the coil over are 12mm holes and they need to be drilled out to 14mm to fit the spindle bolts. Everything else bolts right up.
For the wink mirror I just used the brackets that came with the mirror. And I attached it to the headliner by using one of the screws on each of the visor mounts.

Wink mirrors are for better views. With mine I can see completely behind me and on the sides of me. I never have to break my neck when switching lanes etc...

I love that pic as well. Lucky for me, we had a friend who could drive and my girlfriend to take pictures out of his sun roof.

Does your skid plate cause your engine temps to rise at all? I plan to make something similar, but out of aluminum so its light. The factory cover has openings in it, but im not sure how much air actually passes through or if it matters making the bottom completely flat. I'm not as low as you but in Michigan $hit happens.

With the skid plate. I don't find the engine temps to be any higher than normal. Being so low, not much air would be able to get under anyway. I know what you mean. I Live in Louisiana and anything can happen. It is great to have, especially when the unexpected happens. my skid-plate has saved my @$$ a few times

My sonic is low enough to get in trouble in winter if we ever get another one. I have heard a few bumps while going over chunks, but nothing bad yet. I think when it gets warmer out i will start planning my new shield.
