Autobots Incarnate Sonic

[Bumblebee]

Greetings! Name's Rockford and I live in Indonesia. A Sonic / Aveo is a very rare sight here in Indonesia, because people tend to stick with mainstream Japanese Hatchbacks such as Yaris or Fit. So driving a Sonic around tend to break necks all over the place even in stock form, let alone modded

Sadly here in Indonesia, the Sonic undergo alot of Specdowns in order to cut cost and compete with leading Japs, making my specsheets waaaaay inferior to what u guys have (Yep, no cruise con, no 17" alloys, no MIDs, no heater, no arm rest, only dual yes DUAL airbags, NO TURBO so on n so forth).
Currently Im using the car as a daily commute and it has 5000 miles. It was initially Oceanic Blue, but soon it will be wrapped into what I personally call "Matte Bumblebee Yellow"

- KDM Daytime Running Lights

Hey. Great work and great idea. Can you tell a little bit more about DRLs? As can I see you have fog lamps and DRLs together. Am I right? I'm looking for such solution without success. Were did you bought it? Thx. Regards

Your posting brings to light a mod that I'd like to see someone tackle.... Move the driver's side to the right side of the car - NOW THAT'S COMMITMENT!!

The car looks great brother!!

Why waist the money for that when you can already purchase a RHD model currently in production?? Would probably be cheaper to import one than to make one.

Thx Slacke
The DRLs are China Domestic Market item available on Ebay and they're plug and play. Ill provide you with the links below if ure interested with such item. All you need to do is wire the DRLs to the car's Acc and it will automatically light up the moment u start the car.

The mods are light indeed, but enough to stop traffic, haha
Yep, actually there are RHD models out there

True enough SouthFLSonic!
RHD models are currently being sold in many Asian regions
But most RHD models arent as well built or equipped as the original LHD models sold in the US..

Welcome to the club, fellow Autobot!

Thx Prime
Nice to see fellow Robots in Disguise hangin around~

Now lets get on with the Updates...
Over the past few days, Ive managed to get my hands on the K-Style Add on Bodykit from Thailand as seen below...
Thus the fitment process begins~

opcorn:

Yes, uve may also noticed that Ive removed and smoothen out the front Chevy Bowtie emblem.
Why?
Because I will soon move the emblem to the upper portion of the dual port grille.
On to the "Matte Bumblebee Yellow" vinyl wrap~

Hope to post more updates as the car progresses
Due to the fact that the car is daily driven, mods are being done only during my free time, haha..
Slow but sure's the way to go

Congrats on your Chevrolet Sonic, Rockford, and way to go against the grain! Sorry if your Chevrolet Sonic doesn't have all of the technology that you'd hoped for, but we're wishing you the best of luck with your modifications!

Its a common issue here, so Im good with it

 

[Bumblebee]

Okie, so the wrapping phase is pretty much done!
The Matte Yellow goes well with the Gloss Black racing stripes, if I do say so myself.
Black & Yellow, Black & Yellow, Black & Yellow, Black & Yellow

The front grille and airdam treatment completed the whole "Bumblebee" look which Im after.
Ive seen quite a lot of Sonics with Evo styled front treatment, but never a Camaro styled one

Coming up next..
Matte Black 5 spoke concave wheels to complete the exterior
Stay tuned!!!

 

[SouthFLSonic]

[Hulty]

:banana:

[Yosemite Sam]

I really like that black across the face too. I may have to steal your idea! That bandit look is an idea I was tossing around but I wasn't sure how it would look. You nailed it!! :banana:

 

[ScarabEpic22]

Looks killer man! I REALLY dig the shaved upper half of the grille bowtie and how that changes up the front end SO drastically! I might have to take some pics of my RS and see how it'd look to do something similar...
