Finally starting a build

[PlayDG]

I'll be starting to mod my Sonic here soon, so I figure I'll post here now so I can keep going on later. Right now I've had my Sonic for a few months, bought it back in March. It's a White 2013 RS model with 35k miles. Minor changes at the moment. I had dipped my wheels pink, which turned out more of a red, and have since peeled it off. Blacked out my badges as well. Plan on dipping wheels and side mirrors intense teal, as well as a debadge of everything except the bowties. I will be moving the RS badge to the front grille and probably changing the chrome trim to another color, probably teal as well. As for now, here's how she looks, minus the wheel color.

Shortly I'll be tinting the Windows and Tail Lights, ordering a ZZP 2.5" Catback, K&N CAI, and either a Diablo or Trifecta tune. Possibly a BOV as well. But for now, this is her.

Haha why did you want pink wheels?

I wanted something different than the usual. I always see red or black on white.

The same reason why someone would want green or blue: because they like it. Nice start! Kinda wishing I had went with white.

Exactly! I'll be doing purple here in the next couple days. Thinking about pulling the grille off and painting it purple as well.

I'm doing purple too! I'd love to see a pic if you do decide to do the grill

I definitely will! It's a PITA but I'm gonna try it. I'd rather buy and aftermarket grille, but I can't find any that fit the RS

Beastlick is in the process of making a "truly mustacheless" grille for the RS. Actually, he's looking for a car to test fit the prototype on so he will probably be taking orders within a couple of weeks.

Ha dope i dipped my wheels hot pink for breast cancer awareness month because the Chevy dealership I worked at would do a big rally so I figured I would dip mine pink and bring it to it in support I can't find any pictures of it but its the exact reason why my color way is black and green you have to be ever more slightly different then everybody else, its looking good buddy and go to beastlicks page he make alot of good quality custom stuff for the Sonics I'm probably going to have him make me a grill for my sonic sooner or later

Here's a few shots, the lighting wasn't really agreeing with me too well, but I really like how the purple turned out.

First mod is in. K&N CAI. Exhaust is here as well, but there is major rusting on the stock exhaust bolts. Will have that installed within the next week!

Votes of confidence I see. I'll be calling some local shops to see what's up. Have heard some good things about a few, so we will see.
