Tint first.

Plans for what's next?

 

[xtremsonic]

I have some billet aluminum bow ties and door sills coming in sometimes this week. After that I will start looking at blacking out a few exterior pieces. Of course rims, exhaust, lowering springs, mild body kit. Then probably start on the performance side.

Good start!

I got the car on March 24th so I "want" to catch up to you, but my budget won't allow. One piece at a time, I figure in a year or so I am hoping to have everything done.

My budget is pretty tight now too. I sold my ham radio to get the wheels and tires, so now I've got to save up for a replacement.

I've put off on finishing my sleeves to save for the car...guess we all gotta make sacrifices.

Here are my billet aluminum bowties and door sills. I am going to have Sonic on the sills outlined in red asap. I got these items from http://etkvb.jlcqn.servertrust.com/Chevy_Sonic_Products_s/35.htm
they are officially licensed by GM to build pieces and parts for the Sonic & Cruze. They are coming out with some door handles and other items soon. This isn't thin flimsy aluminum either, it's approximately 1/4" thk. really good stuff, I am thoroughly impressed.

They are loading the site today with the door sills, bowties and door handles. The cost of the door sills is $134.99. I would check the site a few times today and you will see there are a few different variations of the door sills and handles. As I said earlier very high quality stuff. Here is the link again.

The door sills are on the site now!!

Woohoo!! I just ordered me a set of aluminum door handles from ABD. The same site I got my door sills and bowties from. Jeff and Brian were extremely helpful and they even contacted me the day my parts arrived to make sure I was satisfied. I highly recommend them, their site does not reflect all the parts they are offering but they can be reached at 609-488-6330. It's not very often I will recommend someone, but these guys go above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied. I will post a pic of the handles after I get them and install them. I think the black will look sweet on my Victory Red HB!! Let me know what you think.

Here they are, they were easy to install and are high quality. Jeff from ABD called to make sure everything went ok with the install and to make sure I was happy. Quality Automotive Billet Made in the USA | Chrome | Black great customer service.

Pics of said sleeves? Tattoos are badass xD

Also, the handles look great! I might think about grabbing some for myself.

 

[xtremsonic]

Said sleeves are far from done, unfortunately.
