Grill block offs

[$ub$onic]

So I have been working on block off plates for the sonic

Here is my progress so far



Lower grill insert is basically done. Just need a few holes for straps and painted


Started work on the top part but it's gonna be a pain.

This a Eco mode?

 

[$ub$onic]

This is a "car never really heats up in cold winter" mod.. Haha

I actually have some aero issues in my head but I need to sit down and see if they would actually work or not.

 

[JackGSonic]

Love the stache mod you have going there. Makes it look much better! I'm debating doing a block off of some of the grill for the winter too, Figure upper grill would be a must, how much would blocking the lower that much affect the IC?

 

[$ub$onic]

I don't have a ic so I never concerned my self with it.

It does leave some opening at the bottom and I may make a shorter one yet.


If everything goes to plan I'll make a few sets for people.

It's made out of good quality aluminum.

I'll probably at least take an upper block when you have them ready. Any idea on price?

Looking great. Good job. Let us know how it turns out

Lower one is pretty simple so it's gonna be cheaper. I have to finish the top to get a idea of labor involved.

What are some of the aerodynamic ideas you had in mind

 

[$ub$onic]

First top prototype

Gonna make some changes on the next one.

A aluminum front splitter, possible belly pans. If I ever make it that far

 

[Ja-Stapes]

At what outside temperature would you use a grill block? I just made my own upper and lower blocks and I'm a little nervous to put either of them in until I get an ultragauge.

 

[mitdr774]

I usually put the upper in when temps are consistently in the 30s and the lower partial block goes on when temps are in the 20s.

I need exactly the opposite!!

 

[cndctrdj]

A aluminum front slipper, possible belly pans. If I ever make it that far

I've looked into the belly pan thing and there is a lot that can be done. These cars are begging to be eco nodded.

I don't know the slipper ... I'm assuming it's a typo but in case it wasn't. What is it

Any updates

 

[$ub$onic]

I have been busy.

I need to put the grills back in and attach them.
