It's a 12", got a killer deal on the whole set up (didn't have the 10 in stock so they made it too good to pass on the 12).
I wanted to keep my spare. I travel to some rural areas and don't want to risk being without one.
It's just barely wider than the gap in between the two panels. I'll work on a new lower shelf this week, ran out of time yesterday
....if it has tits or tires it can be upgraded

Nice, I wanted a 12, but they didn't want to make a custom box because I needed to keep the space for my work stuff. So maybe later I'll design a 12 box to sit in there. As far as the spare, my insurance has roadside, plus I'm more in the city than rural.

Made My Own Sonic SS
Ebay SS badges (metal). Adhesive tape on the rear, the fronts are held in with screws and rubber washers under tension on the front .
Getting close to installing the gauge pod with temp and oil pressure gauges.
Rear disc brake conversion same time.....soon...just need a warm dry weekend!

Car is looking good!
How is the front lip secured on your car? I know it is a Civic lip but which year? You wouldn't happen to know where someone could find one...

here's what I bought in 2015 off EBay. I think I'll buy another as I didn't need to screw anything on the lip, just some 3M foam double sided tape makes it stick like nobody's business. You'll need a heat gun to gently reshape the lip to the Sonic's outline...then just with some gently prodding, the double sided tape will adhere...once the part cools, it ain't coming off! I had to cut the ends off both sides as they bend to a 90° and it's just a little short for that 90° to wrap around in the wheel well (if that makes sense), so I just dremelled it off. So there's a screw on both ends holding the lip in place, then you really only need 3M tape for the rest...same type of tape holding the Turbo badge for example.

Replaced MyLink
Did a Head unit swap from MyLink to this AVH 4100 NEX pioneer.
Didn't get the steering wheel controls to work yet. Maybe in time. Also swapped out the antenna to an amplified aftermarket because it gets better reception.
Works and sounds amazing even with factory speakers. Has a bit more power than the MyLink did so speaker upgrades most likely are next.

MyLink Swap
On a better note:
New head unit has Android auto. Now this I can live with.
Does just about anything my phone can including Google maps and Nav.
Sends text or works with Google Hang outs too.
Reads me text and voice commands work perfect. MyLink never did this for me.
I wish I had done this sooner.
Now waiting for new Kicker speakers for doors from UPS.

Crazy White Stang
My wife and I were coming home from Brahms a little while ago because they were having a special on double-dip ice cream cones. I'm driving stick one-handed with a cone in the other down Route 66.
I see HID lights in my rear view mirror and notice a white 90s Mustang with black plasti-dip stripes closing in very rapidly. He changes lanes and for a moment I think he's going to pass me. Then he slows down to match my speed and starts revving his engine. I avoid eye contact and maintain my speed. I'm driving a stock 1.4L turbo. Only mods are the tinted lights, so I know there is no contest to be had. My wife looks over at my strained expression and begins laughing. "Does this happen to you often?" she asks.
The Mustang driver begins to lose patience and does a quick burst of speed to get ahead. Then his window rolls down and a fat hand flips me the bird. Now it's my turn to laugh. "No, this doesn't happen to me often."
The Mustang rolls his window back up and takes up position next to me again, where he begins revving. My wife's smile becomes slightly menacing. "Want me to hold your cone so you can race him?" It takes me a moment to realize she is serious.
I love my wife.
In the end, the Mustang got bored and left and we made it home safe. Moral of the story: Mustang owners be jealous of how good our Sonics look.
