It seems to have tightened up the rear end a bit but still need some decent shocks back there. I'd say it's worth the money.
what did you do to your Sonic today?

Finished my water pump, thermostat, water neck and fan install.
Also installed DDM heat shield I've had laying around for a while.
Bottom stud they give you is like... impossible... to fasten from the top on this car. At least it was for me. Thankfully, I had all the splash guards off for the other work and was able to get to it from below reasonably easy. Looks sharp compared to the stock piece.

Adjusted the position of the mid-wing, blacked out the underside of my oem wing, and washed the car!

Got my new plate in and installed Rokblokz rally flaps.

Are those the ones for the 12-16? That’s the only model on their site I can find. I’ve been looking for some splash guards for my 2018 with no luck. Any modifications you have to make? Thanks!!

Yes they are. No modification needed.

Redid my tire lettering and contacted Chevy about how rare the Krypton Green was and turns out it's pretty rare indeed

They came today, very nice quality! The front was super easy. 2 minutes per side. The back... well... I couldn’t get the supplied screws to go through the supplied clips. Way, way too tight. When I was trying to screw them in it was putting more torque on the factory clip mount than I was comfortable with.
So I’m probably gonna drill them out slightly sometime this week and finish up the install.

Odd, I had no issue at all. They tightened in well.

Blows off the dust on this account
After a few years I finally pulled the trigger and ordered the parts I wanted for my first round. K&N CAI, ZZP Catback exhaust (with cat and muffler) and a Trifecta Elite tune.
The ordering was a couple of months ago and got them all installed a few weeks back.. now what to do next??

I got lazy for a couple days but I put them on last night. Apologies since she’s filthy and I took that standing on my porch. Lol.
To anyone that orders the RokBlokz mud flaps and find the supplied clips are too tight for the screws like I did, just put the clip in a vise to hold it and use a tap and die set to put threads in it. Worked beautifully.
Sorry no photos, but I’ll do my best to write it up.
Front: remove the 3 torx screws on the fender liner, put mud flaps on, put washer on the factory screws, and put them back in. 2 minutes per side.
Rear: I found it easiest if I removed the 3 torx screws on the inner liner, and the two on the underside.
Peel liner back, use flathead to pop factory clips off (takes some force but don’t break the factory mount).
Slide the supplied plastic clips on the factory clip mount.
Put the supplied washers on the new screws and put them through the mud flap.
Slide the spacer they give you on the screw on the back of the mud flap.
Put in and tighten all the screws back in and you’re done. 20-25 minutes total for all four.
Remember, do this at your own discretion.
Side note: Make sure you measure all the flaps once installed to insure they’re straight and all sticking out the same length.
Super super simple!

Finally finished swapping all the lights in my car to LED. Took about 2 weeks for them to arrive, figure out how to install them, figure out how to install them CORRECTLY, melt some plastic trim with a resistor, and finally get everything figured out to where my switchbacks work, lights stay on, they're aimed correctly, and all resistors and CANbus cancelers are tied down and out of the way. First month of owning my Sonic is in the books, so now I need to order a back bottom seat cushion since the previous owner burned a hole in the seat. Not huge, but I want it fixed while I can find OEM parts.
