Well, I Think It's Time

[Kyman]

Hey everyone, so I really don't know how to start this whole thing off, but might as well say that I have a 2013 Chevrolet Sonic LS Hatchback Manual 5 Speed Mocha Bronze Metallic. This is my second car I have ever owned and it's amazing. Haven't done much mainly due to whenever I plan to buy something, I end up shying away for some reason.

Build As Of Now:

- Window Tint (35% Front & 15% Rear)
- Sport Pedal Covers (Gas, Break, and
Clutch)
- Vent Visors (All Four Windows)
- Schroth Rallye 3 Harness (Drivers Side)
- Ultra Gauge
- DDM Shifter Bushings
- Redline Tuning QuickLIFT Plus Hood Struts
- K&N Intake

Future Mods:

- Lower Transmission Mount
- Engine Mount
- Cross Drilled and Slotted Rotors
- ZZP Rear Sway Bar
- Sway Bar Endlinks
- Borla Exhaust System
- Trifecta Tune
- RS Suspension Upgrade For LS Model
(And any other suggestions people may have)

Looking forward to the updates! Lets see some pictures opcorn:

Ordered an Ultra Gauge earlier this week and plan to actually start making mods to the car. It just hit 2000 miles yesterday going to Costco so I think it's time. So stay tuned and I'll let all you guys know what's happening. Also, thought I might share this photo I took yesterday of my car and my mothers. We are kind of a Chevy family.

I like that color! That would go great with some black rims, lowered, and black dip.

I also like that color.

Finally got my Ultra Gauge last night, so just need to figure out where I'm gonna mount it. Plus, I need to find a mount to use since I didn't feel like ordering one with it. Anyone have any suggestion on what to use and where to place it?

So last night was a stressful night. All started driving to my girlfriends house. On the way I stopped to get gas and a pop. Kept driving and went through this little tunnel we have here, and this is what happened when I just was leaving the tunnel.

Like Rufio? That color does look damn good! I would ditch the hubcaps or at least get spinners. I think wheels should be up there on your list, even if you find some used LTZ ones.

Sorry to hear about the damage. Might be able to be PDR with the dent but that scuff looks deep.

 

[Kyman]

The wheels are pretty much first now on my list of things I want for my sonic. I just have yet to find wheels that really jump out at me and for the right price. Maybe some Sparco wheels, what do you guys think?

 

[Kyman]

So finally got a set of rims. Not the exact ones as up above but close enough. Only paid $150 for the whole set.

 

[Conner06]

How'd you pull that off ?

 

[Kyman]

My boss happen to find a kid selling them on Facebook and I bought them that day. Gonna get them power coated a different color and I'll be set.

I been looking at those sparco wheels. I'm digging them.


If I die, bury me in my truck, because it's never been in a hole it can't get out of!

 

[Kyman]

I would highly suggest these wheels to anyone to be honest. I love the way they look and I'm a fan of Sparco. So I couldn't go wrong with them.

My sonic is the same color ! First one ive seen thats the same. I got arockchip on my hood. Sux

 

[Kyman]

Yeah, it seems to be a harder color to come by, but I hear you. I have the scrap and dent still which bother me every day when I look at them.

 

[Kyman]

Well, it has really been sometime since I last posted. Anyways, I have my K&N intake coming in tomorrow and my DDM bushings coming in early next week. So I'll get the intake put on either tomorrow night, but probably Saturday after work, so I can actually do it in a shop.

Cool beans, post pics of your baby after install. Also, look into Redline Tuning hood struts. You can't go wrong, and I know I would've done them much earlier in my build. It makes time under the hood SO MUCH EASIER!

 

[Kyman]

I was actually looking at getting Redline hood struts next, I'm just not sure if I should get the Plus or Elite ones. Plus, I gotta wait till my next paycheck since I gotta save some money.
