Snagged these from Automotive Touch Up .com Touch Up Paint and Accessories | AutomotiveTouchup If you are looking for a specific paint code, but aren't sure which exact one is correct for your car, look for a dealer sticker (most likely inside a door jamb) that has a code starting with either a...

Shout out to all the Oklahoma based Sonics. First Saturday of every month there is a Cars and Coffee meet in Western OKC on the corner of 122nd Street and May Avenue, in the strip mall parking lot. If you are in the area, feel free to swing by and show off your car.

I know a lot of people here are car guys who know their way around an engine bay. But for those who don't understand some of the inner workings or the terminology being thrown around, I figured these would be helpful. Disclaimer: The guy in the videos is not me. I just happen to like this guy's...

Was looking up the affected cars of the Takata airbag ordeal today and noticed the 2015 Camaro was on the list. I am now slightly concerned because I own a 2015 Sonic, which appears to use the same airbag as the Camaro. Is there any justification to my concern? Or am I over reaching in my...

I am one of those guys who does an occasional stroll through the toy section, just to see what sort of die cast model cars I can find. What can I say? I like cars. A few months back, I was in a particular store, and found one of my favorite little cars. An AE-86 Corolla. It had candy red paint...

I'm trying to find out if a set of Camaro headrests will fit in the mounting holes for the Sonic. Can anyone confirm if they can be swapped, or provide the measurement between the Camaro seat back post holes and the diameter of the headrest posts? Already tried posting this on the Camaro...

Just a heads up, there is a guy selling one of the highly sought after ZL1 leather wheels over on the camaro5 forum. Here's the link for those who are interested. ZL1 Leather steering wheel shift knob and boot - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums - Camaro5.com This wheel...

So I saw the thead about the ZL1 wheel swap, and it didn't really answer my questions. I really like the retro style of the 2010 camaro SS wheel, but don't know if it'd be a simple plug n play setup. I'd hate to lose cruise control and radio control if I did a swap. Does anybody know if this is...

I have been dreaming big about an SS version of the Sonic, and there is part of me that has been wondering if swapping the turbo system for a twin-screw setup would be worth it. The Whipple W100AX is a 1.6L twin screw that can produce up to 30 lbs of boost. So of course,I started thinking along...

Was doing my usual browsing and came across this picture. OEM C5 Z06 wheels, painted black. 17x8.5 et31. These were the wheels that started me on my unhealthy obsession with rims. I think I'm gonna have to figure out how to get my hands on a set and adapt them to the Sonic. Anyone know of...

Twice now, I have seen a brand new 2016 RS drive past my workplace. The car is bright yellow with a black vinyl stripe that starts at the lower front fenderwell, sweeps up to the body contour line, and follows that ridge all the way back until it disappears at the taillights. Can't tell if the...

Welcome to my build thread! My plans for modifying my Sonic are pretty straightforward. I want to create the Sonic SS that Chevy didn't make. When people look at my car, I want them to seriously question if it is a genuine SS and believe it came from the factory as they see it; save for the...

Ran across some pictures of a 2011+ Captiva, and was struck by just how similar the front-end styling was to the Sonic. Now, I love the Sonic's headlights, and I'm not really wanting to get rid of them, but I wanted to ask: Do you think someone who wants to streamline the front of the Sonic...

Just to be clear, these are parts I have found on the interwebz from other countries. I am not selling these, just making others aware. Want some Angel Eye Fog Lights with DRLs for your LS/LTZ sonic? 2X LED DRL Daytime Day Fog Lights Angel Eyes for Chevrolet Sonic Aveo 2011 2013 | eBay Want a...

UPDATE: FourPlay | Deep FourPlay is part of the Turnin' Heads Group based out of Singapore. Currently the only way to get these wheels outside of Asia and Europe is direct order. Song is the contact on the forum. They currently offer four different styles of wheels for our bolt pattern and...

So, just a thought. It would be super helpful to have the maximum backspace clearance for the Sonic's front and rear fender wells posted in the 'dimensions' sticky. Just in case you aren't familiar with the term, Backspacing is the distance from the mounting plate surface of a rim to it's...

I use a cream wax that turns hard after being applied. I've noticed that any time I get this wax on the black plastic trim areas of the car, it hardens and leaves behind a residue that can only be described as "White Crayon". It looks reeeeeaaally tacky. I've scrubbed these areas with multiple...

Seriously though, the Australian GM brand gets some of the wildest-looking OEM parts! Like the VXRs 18" wheels. Or how about a VXR8 named 'Desire'? Don't worry, it comes in UTE form too, just in case you were thinking about a Subaru instead... Or perhaps a Wagon is more your style...

Well, what with the new 2016 Sonic over in China having a new front and rear, I decided to have a little fun. So here's a terrible photoshop job of the awesome 2015 sonic headlights and dusk rims on a 2016 facelift Sonic/Aveo from China. Note the equally terrible bowtie emblem delete, and front...

I know it's a stupid thing to hope at this point, and that it might just be far easier to take the hubs to a shop and have them re-drilled to the bolt pattern I want. But I figured I would ask, since if a swap-able hub exists, I wouldn't have to have all future hub replacements re-drilled...
