An update:
With school back in swing i havent had much time to update or mod my sonic.. most recently i went to Omaha`s Ice Cream Cruise.. it had about 1,800 cars there and it was an awesome time.. i am glad to say i was the only sonic there and it was unique indeed

and also recently i sticker bombed my gas cap

That last picture is quite artistic and I like it. Hate stickers, my opinion of course, but its a nice picture.

Thanks! I tried to do the best i could with an iphone and photoshop express. I think it turned out nicely.. As a side note i think my next mod might be in the exhaust department.. I saw a video on YouTube of and OBX muffler on the 1.8 even though its just the muffler i do like the enhanced sound.

Could you link the video? There are a couple and I want to be on the same page.

Thanks. I'm waiting on my blue blaze plasti dip to re do the emblems and wheels. It would really tie together the mud flaps and car nicely.

Pertaining to the fog lamp covers/bezels, do you know if the body shop took them off for paint, or did they just tape the rest of the car off and leave em on?

My assumption is that they left them on and just masked the rest off but im not sure.

Mind if I ask what you paid for both?

i think it was $50 extra for the bezels to be painted.. it was worth the money. But i also was having my bumper replaced at the time so it was a no brainer

Sweet ride.

 

[Eric Smit]

Illest.

 

[AustinK]

Illest.

haha i took that off now and the stickerbomb gas cap is gone too.. its been a long time since ive taken new pics

Sweet ride.

thanks man you too... 1.8L represent!

 

[AustinK]

i should be dipping my wheels blue hopefully this weekend...

and i dipped the rear hatch blue

 

[rdss]

That looks a little off to me, maybe with the blue wheels it will tie it together better

 

[ThatTmoGuy]

you should dip everything below the body lines (the lines over the fenders and the door) that would be a one of a kind look!
