Your mod is a eco sign?

The "mod" is the ECO emblem. Not much of a mod, but it's a change.

Not much is happening until I can get the tint, the chrome hatch trim, the sport pedals and the sill plates. Then it'll pretty much be done.

Anyone want my headlights? http://www.sonicownersforum.com/forum/t1293/#post13654

I installed my Northern Stars last night so these excellent Southern Stars are up for grabs.

That will be quite the undertaking. Will it fit? Should be a good time.

Just got back from the tint shop.

The chrome hatch applique is on it's way. I'm hoping I can clean 'er up soon but every time I get a chance it rains.

Is the tint the same in your side front and side back windows? I can't tell looking at my LTZ if the windows are tinted equally from the factory (but I haven't spent much time really trying, either). Did you or your tint shop decide there was a difference in your LT windows, and install different tint to compensate for it? Thanks.

No Sonic comes with privacy glass, only slightly tinted glass all the way around. I had them do 35% all the way around.

Definitely liking your car Andrew. Good understated, tasteful, OEM+ mods are my favorites.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks!

OK, finally did a couple more things today. I installed the GM "Sporty Pedals" and the chrome hatch applique I got off eBay.

The hatch applique has Plotinum!

The pedals seem kinda cheap for $70 but they installed easily and seem to hold well. The hatch applique was a good value at $30 shipped from China. It's not as perfect as the $100 factory piece, but I think it looks pretty good.

Are the High Beams H3 or H8?

Nice

the chroom strip was quick cheap i know but it works!

It looks verry good on the red car!

When you installed the LEDs on the interior and exterior lights, did you have to clip the stock connector or did you just leave it in place and use the wire-taps? Also, did they come with the 3ohm resistors and you just decided to use 6 instead or did you have to pick those up from an electronics shop and then again for the 6ohm?

Truth shouldn't hurt!

Keep in mind- anyone that is worried about modding due to warranty- doing your own oil changes or running any oil or filter combination other than the OEM equipment can void your warranty. Google it and read some of the horror stories. If you change your own oil or take it anywhere other than the dealership for service, maintain very accurate records and keep all receipts. Even in my bolted and tuned cobalt I run only Mobil1 and acdelco filters. GM will void your warranty faster than you can blink if you spin a bearing or something and show up with a non OEM filter and any oil other than what is specifically recommended by the owners manual. Especially if the oil has a purple tint to it.

Not trying to scare anyone, just warning you guys. You should see how strict some of the foreign manufacturers are.

No one should get upset about you being honest with them. It seems like the tune helps your car rather then hurting it. Maybe i'm wrong? I would still take it in for oil changes at the dealership cause I wouldn't want to chance them voiding my warranty for oil.

There are not overlays!

First i want it the LT and the had only the chroom on the grill and not the headlights

i want to order the rings but the said to me now there are not overlays when you want the chroom you must buy the hole Front headlight!

I ordered each part individually from V-LEDS. The only resistors are on the turn signals and I just tapped the wires with the included taps. I bought 3 ohm resistors at first in hopes that the front and rear bulbs were on the same circuit, but they are on individual circuits so I switched to 6 ohm at all four corners.

Looks Great!!

Thanks!
