The Body Kit (and Lip) Thread

[Thaifight-R]

Making an archive of all the body kits that have been made for the Sonic. (That I've found thus far.)
Let me know if I missed any, or if I should correct something.

GM Ground Effects kit:

Where to buy: Should be available at your local dealer as an add on. Not sure if the U.S. dealers have them available yet, but they're definitely already available in Japan. 0_o

SuperSonic Concept Ground Effects kit (GM body kit with CF extension?)

Where to buy: Unknown. CF parts are probably one off?

Z Spec body kit

Where to buy: Unknown.

3DCarbon kit:
Sedan:

Hatch:

Where to buy:
Carid, ebay, pretty much everywhere that sells body kits for the Sonic. Just google search Chevy Sonic body kit, and chances are that you'll find this kit.

Seibon Carbon fiber kit (front splitter, front fenders, hatch, hood):

Where to buy: A quick search of "Seibon Chevy Sonic" should yield a few sites that sell them.

DesignRides body kit:

Where to buy: As far as I'm aware of, the body kit is one off. However, I did hear something about them possible taking orders for the front lips in a thread. Best thing to do is to hit them up on their Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/Designrides?fref=ts

DesignRides RS front lip:

Where to buy: I'm not sure if they are taking orders yet, but you can probably ask on their Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/Designrides?fref=ts

Fatlace lip:

Where to buy: If I recall correctly, this was a one off piece for SEMA.

Tjin air ducts and lip:

Where to buy: These were one off pieces for SEMA.

Thailand/Asian kits:

Sonic AT Body kits:

To be honest, this body kit was one of the main reasons why I made this thread. Originally posted by Skung Ssc on the Trifecta facebook page, the pictures above made me go on a body kit searching rampage since most of us had never seen that kit before. After a few weeks of searching, I finally stumbled upon more pics of the kit along with a website that was selling them:

Hatch:

Sedan:

Where to buy:

The only problem with this website (the lovebodykits one) though is that I have not been able to create an account to see how much shipping would cost (or if they even export the body kits or not.) It kept saying that my email was invalid even though I typed it in correctly. (I used the email in my sig).
Let me know if you manage to successfully create an account.

I also noticed that the website listed above also sold kits that looked a lot like the 3D carbon kit...

3DCarbon (clone?) from Asia?:

Where to buy:
alibaba.com, Love Body Kits

My gut tells me this is a clone mostly because the price is ~$300 for a full kit vs ~$600+ for the 3Dcarbon one... On the other hand, I have no idea how much shipping costs, or if the sellers are even willing to export or not, so I have no idea how much money you would really be saving...

"K Style" kit
Added 4/4/13 Thanks firstorbit84!

Where to buy:

Only saw pics for the Sedan, so I have no idea if there's a hatchback version or not.

ACCESS kit
Added 4/4/13 Thanks firstorbit84 for posting a link to the Thai Sonic forum! lol. Found this while surfing around there.

Where to buy:
http://chevysonic-club.com/chevysonic/index.php?PHPSESSID=vcb97e72jqdhmhi4qahsdbeqn0&topic=3401.0

Looks like what might be the first widebody kit?

Option Aero Part
Added 4/4/13 Thanks firstorbit84 for posting a link to the Thai Sonic forum! lol. Found this while surfing around there.

Hope that helps everyone! ^_^

Incredibly well done.

I like the views you used for the Design Rides products. But, I may be slightly prejudiced.

I bought the Sonic HB for the purpose of modding, hoping the aftermarket would view it the same way I did, as a solid platform from which to do a high dive. To paraphrase the Colonel: I love it when a good plan comes together.

That may be the actual quote.

Wow, that Sonic AT Body kit from Thailand is really nice! And it seems incredibly cheap for the whole kit ... 14,000฿ Thai Baht = $477.98 USD.

Here's some help in contacting them. The website's Technical contact information is (found through a simple whois lookup):

Name: Suttipong Sodklang
Email: tax@lovebodykits.com
Telephone: +66.859910814
Fax: +66.859910814

Organization: Love Body Kits

If you're able to find out how much the shipping costs, I'd be very interested.

 

[GunBlade]

Did I miss a important detail or are the rear bumper/exhaust in the pictures for the AT kits not obtainable? Is that how the sonic body is produced over there or what because that was what I wanted to do to mine since day one minus the led strips. I am completely unaware of anything sonic related outside of the states sorry. Other than that I dig the AT kits front and side skirts the most from all kits I have seen.

According to the website and as I understand it, the back bumper is included in the kit:

1. Front Skirt 1 pc.
2. Side Skirts 2 pcs.
3. Rear Skirt 1 pc.

And I think the LEDs are pretty awesome. I'm very curious as to how well the exhaust lines up with the bumper though.

 

[firstorbit84]

that exhausted and those LED's are really dope on the AT body kit.

I would definitely be interested if they can ship it here.

exhaust work to get it to line up with those outlets will probably have to be pretty custom though

or maybe those are just fake exhaust tip trim pieces, and the tip is still tucked up under like the stock exhaust

 

[Eric Smit]

I'm not sure if you could get the exhaust to the right side without serious work.

 

[GunBlade]

Ah I found out that I did not click to open the kit. I only saw the side skirts and front on the list in the tab. Also yes getting the exhaust on the right side would take some custom work so I am assuming it is all cosmetic for that side but prob fits onto the end of the stock exhaust. Sadly I doubt we will know for sure till someone buys one and gives us the details.

Thanks for the info!
I'll shoot the person an email as soon as I can.

Yeah, the dual exhaust thing is purely cosmetic as far as I'm aware of. Reminds me of the Mugen body kit for the GE8 Honda Fit/Jazz.

Pretty sure they just left it single for the Fits.

If you want a working dual exhaust, I suppose you could run a Y pipe (like my cutout) and have a custom exhaust hangar for the right side?

 

[Eric Smit]

there is a lot of stuff in the way on the right side; fuel lines come to mind.

Perfect for a flamethrower mod. lololol

 

[FloSonic]

I SOOOOO want that kit too!!! Being that mine is a silver sedan and they actually show one....nice!! Glad there are a few out there besides 3D carbon. dont feel like being the same as everyone. Hence why getting a separate spoiler.

get busy!

 

[Thaifight-R]

Sent them an email. Lets hope they respond. I'm considering getting that kit as well. XD

Eric, is this thread sticky worthy? lol

 

[Black Turbo LTZ]

Part number for GM kit 95057534 dealer told me 2 weeks for delivery from Michigan since they have none at our Eastern Canada parts depot.

 

[Thaifight-R]

Eric, is this thread sticky worthy? lol

I'll take that as a no. :sadbanana: lol

Haven't gotten a response from the people either. :/

Anyone else wanna give it a shot?

 

[HADES20]

Ground effects is on chevy parts I know for sure love this thread

 

[Preloader]

I don't care for most of the front kits. The z-spec is the best looking one, but unavailable.

Also the Seibon CF rear diffuser looks horrendous. It sticks out way too much.

My ideal kit would be standard side ground effect, z-spec front lip and the stock RS rear diffuser.

 

[FloSonic]

Thai, I'm also going to try and contact and see if I get any answers. Currently burrowing comp time for a few mins right now. Will send my email this weekend.
