    Door panel removal

    Is there anything special when taking off the door panels? I am trying to get to the bottom of the rattles they produce. So far, both front doors seem to have some level of rattle to them either when playing music or simply driving. I want to check the door speakers to see if they are properly...

    Current state of my 2015 RS

    If you're wanting to replace mid pipe and down pipe later, recommend getting cat-back done with 2.5" tubing. So far, my car has not exhibited the nasty farting I've heard other sonics/cruzes have. Not sure why. If it is there, I can't tell inside the car. I need to get someone to blip the...

    Current state of my 2015 RS

    No, the car sounds very good, IMO. I've seen videos of others that sound really bad, like a fart can was installed even though it's straight piped. My exhaust does not get raspy at all. It sounds great through entire RPM range and there isn't any in-cabin drone. I want to get mid-pipe replaced next.

    HP Tuners Controller Unlocker timed out - car is dead

    When I took high school shop class, there was talk of OBDIII coming out and that was 20+ years ago. Guess that never happened, lol!

    Does anybody make an aftermarket stock turbo?

    This is my first turbo car. I can tell when the turbo kicks in at highway speeds. Usually when I'm exiting a construction zone going from 50 mph to 70 mph. It's amazing how the car just takes off, lol!

    Does anybody make an aftermarket stock turbo?

    They don't make a more robust stock turbo. Theirs is an upgrade which requires tuning to use.

    Upper and lower grill replacements

    My 2015 RS came with the front license plate mount. Would like to replace it with something that reveals the intercooler better. Would like the same for the upper grill, too. Does anyone make direct replacement aftermarket grill inserts? Thanks!

    h11 bulbs in fog lights?

    I got my fog lamps replaced with ZZP's H11 LED's. They fit great with one exception: the weather caps will not go back on. The bulb is much longer than the oem bulb and extends past where the cap screws on. I'm not too worried, though. The new bulb has a seal on it and the inner fender liner...

    Your oil cap does not work with the valve cover on my engine. When I received the car, your cap was simply sitting in the oil fill hole. The fitment to install it is extremely tight and hard to turn. Even when installed, the cap lets oil bypass. I was not concerned about the angle of the logo...

    what did you do to your Sonic today?

    Just replaced fog lamps with ZZP's H11 LEDs. No modification to the tabs, bulbs went in easily. However, the weather caps cannot be used. The LED bulbs are too long. The white light emitting from these LED's compliment the silver ice paint job nicely. I'll post pics when it's darker outside.

    what did you do to your Sonic today?

    Getting exhaust done today. Going for a cat-back straight pipe setup. Hoping to re-use stock exhaust tip. If not, it'll get a dual tip. Hoping to get fog lamps replaced today, too. EDIT: Exhaust is done and I am pleased with the results! Note is deeper and throatier w/o being overbearing and...

    Unlikely I'll buy anything from BNR thanks to the false response posted to my oil cap question. And yes, I have the emails. Thanks.

    what did you do to your Sonic today?

    Glued rearview mirror and gave the car its first bath since I got it. Wanted to swap fog lamp bulbs, but I'm kind of confused as to how to get at them. I'm hoping to get the exhaust done next Wednesday.

    Lower transmission mount bolt part numbers

    Might send ZZP an email. They should know since they make the mounts themselves. You should be able to re use the bolts, I would think. Ask them about that, too.

    Help finding a "load floor" for my new-to-me 2017 Hatchback RS.

    Call a GM dealer and give them my part # and ask them about it. Surely, they would know. Worth a try anyways.
