Karen's Build

[KartRacer]

LOOKS GREAT!
Way better than the original Titanium.

I chose Bright Silver!

 

[AdorableKaren]

Looks good against the red sonic!

Looks good against the red sonic!

NO! Everbody knows silver wheels are lame...

Just kidding, it actually looks good. It gives it a clean and classy look.

Any timeframe on your wheel mounting Karen?

 

[AdorableKaren]

Hopefully week and a half before the snow starts here. I sent the wheels to PA in pairs haha because I only had two good wheel boxes. So I just sent the last two wheels yesterday. Turn around time is quick. I don't need any wheel straightening just strip old paint and apply new paint. Minor curb rash or scratches are included in the price.

I agree Wheel Collision Center in PA did a great job.

You sure do like things in PA......


Those wheels are going to look good on your car.

 

[AdorableKaren]

Haha what are you implying? My love and devotion for $ub$onic? Ahaha

 

[mitdr774]

Not at all.......


I would not wish that on a classy lady like yourself.

My newest "bolt on" mod. This mod sucks, I do not recommend it to anyone. A horrible way to start my morning and less than a week with red wheels on :blankface:

Bummer about the nail. It looks pluggable.

Can we see some pics with the Red wheels?

 

[AdorableKaren]

Sorry no pics. Only been installed a few days. I don't even have my car right now, it's at the shop. Pictures soon. I went with silver lugs and center caps. Might change the bowties to red to match.

I really like that hood. I will probably get it as my first mod. Did it need those hood pins or will the stock latches work?

 

[AdorableKaren]

If you purchase the vented cf hood stock latches will work. But you will need to purchase shorter hinge bolts. Seibon made great products for the sonic you will love yours.

 

[laborsmith]

Hood pins not needed. As Karen noted shorter bolts for hinges are needed.

When you install I recommend applying c-quartz or something similar.

We never saw pics with the new wheels?

Seriously though..I have a boring white sedan and I'm not sure how to make it look cool. The white is like a blank slate.

 

[AdorableKaren]

Sorry haha I know I'm the worst Planning is literally taking up my whole life right now. But I love the red wheels it has made me think about getting mud flaps. Probably black flaps with red rally armor words.

[AdorableKaren]

NO. NO, NO, NO...NO!

 

[AshesToArmor]

NO. NO, NO, NO...NO!

I couuuuuuuuuld be mistaken, but I think she's just referring to getting married? I have to admit, wedding planning has drastically cut down my car's wish list too oh yeah, and the new house doesn't help either...

 

[AdorableKaren]

I love my sonic as he sits now. The reason why I have not been modding like crazy anymore. There are two last mods from my original wish list I have not completed. A red BBK and the seibon front splitter.

I am using the rest of this year to fully enjoy my sonic. I have been taking him to local car meets and I might take him to the gm Carlisle show in June. Who knows this may be the last year my sonic and I have together

Nothing is set in stone. Who knows I may keep the sonic for another five years. If I keep him long term I plan to finish my original wish list and more! If I ever stumble into big money I would love to go bigger turbo from bnr and switch him to flexfuel so I can experiment with e85.
