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...

Not really sure where to put this, but I figured someone needed to be notified. When trying to browse the forum here on my mobile device, I have lately been receiving a lot of redirect attacks, which will whisk me away to some scummy 'you won!' website or other scam. No, I am not clicking on...

So I was searching for Kspeed springs on E-bay when I came across these pictures: Naturally, my eyes were drawn to the rims because something didn't seem quite right. And then I realized I was looking at a Sonic with only four lug nuts. Well that seemed strange. It would be pretty hard to...

That's right, there is an actual source where you can get the Sonic Dusk Silver 18x7.5 rims. Part #: 23146901 GM Parts Direct: WHEEL | Genuine GM | 23146901 Now I know what you are thinking, there's no picture, no real description, so how can this be the right rim? Well, there is also this...

Just out of curiosity, but has anyone looked into what it would take to do a front-end swap on the Sonic with an Evo X's bumper and lights? The cars seems to have very similar front-end styling, and I honestly wouldn't mind having the slightly more aggressive bumper of the Evo on the Sonic.

Found one that was a bit off the beaten path, but has quite a bit of variety. If you know of any other obscure wheel sites that have a decent selection of 5x105mm, feel free to post. Performance Alloys (UK):PerformanceAlloys.com® Europe's Alloy Wheel Experts? These guys don't have an option...
