Thanks to Thaifight-R for doing some Photoshop work for me

16" White Diamond Racing wheels (stock height)


15" White Diamond Racing Wheels (lowered)

Seeing the lowered one makes me want coils so bad.. Actually I want bags more but the sonic has no kits available..

Finally busted out the GoPro to test out my exhaust after its broken in. I am really happy with the sound, it doesnt sound ricey at all. Greddy RS Chevy Sonic 1.8 - YouTube

Edit:

I also removed the blue Derp off the rear hatch..

Just got these in the mail today.. The Sparco flaps were in dire need for a change. I would not suggest them for the price.

I'm excited to get these Rally Armor ones on..

 

[AustinK]

Well since this car (at least the 1.8) won't be a rocket ship I have changed directions, I am now going towards handling mods. Up next will most likely be, lowering springs, DDM Brace, and the Preloader LCA bushing mod. I feel all these combined will make this a fun little car to toss around.

Also, I installed the rally armour flaps a week ago I just haven't gotten around to pictures.

Exactly, its a nice daily with decent supporting mods, (its no FRS) but thats a completely different class. I'm happy with my build so far and the overall direction of the car

Polished up the Drift Can today..

New Pictures of my Rally Armor UR mudflaps

I also Installed LED license plate bulbs

That is all for now, I'm probably going to look at wheel spacers and the DDM rear brace next since I'm not getting wheels any time soon.

Any issues installing those? Is it a straight foward install?

 

[chivalryder]

Love the mud flaps! Does she see a lot of dirt?

No really straightforward.. These are HUGE but i left the full size on just not knowing what I'm running into.. These aren't the $15 basic ones these are the more expensive and thicker urethane ones.. Working on a farm in the summer and having the harsh winters I thought these would probably be used year round. So far no complaints.

As much as I try to keep her clean she somehow finds a way to trigger my inner Sebastian Loeb and we navigate to a dirt road somewhere.

did you get those led lights locally? btw, ice cream cruise?

 

[AustinK]

The license plate lights yes at Autozone on 72nd and Maple, the rest of my taillights were from Superbrightleds.com I have everything but the Turn signals LED now.. I haven't taken pictures yet..

For the Ice Cream Cruise

https://www.facebook.com/events/103775333146700/?ref=2 I'm meeting there first with my car group then cruising with them to it you could come to Aksarben and we could cruise down with the rest that way were together rather than trying to find each other at the meet....
