Very nice!!

I actually bought my wife that same Kia when I bought the Sonic, you have good taste!!

 

[Hulty]

I just thought, your Sonic would look awesome if you had a white grill along the lines of the orange one on mine, it would really look nice and clean!! Check mine out and see what I mean...

 

[Beastlick]

very tastefully well put together!

 

[sonic_braaappp]

This has to be my favorite sonic by far!! Exact wheel and suspension setup I’ve been saving up for, nice to see what it’ll look like when its all done! Keep it up OP

 

[Brags]

Thanks for the compliments guys. When your ready sonic braaap let me know. You never know I like to Change things up ;-)

 

[Stew]

Looking good! How are you liking the big brake kit? Did it change the pedal feel or anything, good or bad? Also, what kind of boost psi are you seeing with your tune?

isnt that the name of the game anyways? lol i had the rotiform nue's on my black 2003 GTI, and ever since i got the sonic i've been dying to throw some on her along with the CX Racing coilovers but didnt know how it would look until you posted

 

[sonic_braaappp]

lemme know if you wanna sell some stuff though lol, i only have one more car show in mid-september before winter mods come, so i'll be ready whenever, (as long as i have the money) lol

Very nice mods so far! Is that a Honda front lip? I know non-rs guys use them but I wasn't sure if/how well it would it the RS bumper.

Also very curious about the big brake kit. How does it compare to the OEM?

 

[Brags]

With the zzp bbk I am very happy so far. Easy installation, very simple. The pedal feel is identical to stock until your about 30% down then really grabs. Looks great painted and saved me a few times already. Stopping power is much much improved over stock, but not touchy at pedal.

 

[Brags]

The tune I am currently running maxs out at 18-19 psi. Great power for the boost level, love my tuner

 

[Brags]

And the front splitter in pics is not yet currently available. It will be released soon from a new company I'm working with.

 

[RobbyS]

Wow! I have to say, I love your car. Easily one of the best on the forum.
Also, how do you like that Juke? I think they'd be awesome with the stick shift, but I couldn't get over how they look.

 

[Brags]

Thanks! The juke is actually quite awesome. Nissan build quality is very good and the trans is awesome. Averaging 27.5 mpg and almost as quick as sonic stock. Very impressed. I wouldn't have bought a regular one though nismo looks so much better

 

[Brags]

So front splitter and canards are on the car. Dropping her off for new side splitters today. Many pictures to come very shortly. Pics up now on ZZP facebook and other sonic facebook groups. All parts will be available shortly
