I started with an LT but wanted a sport steering wheel. Coincidentally ACE Custom Steering stopped business the same day I ordered the LT and as things turned out, to get the steering wheel I wanted I traded for a Sonic RS.

Here are pictures of its arrival at Rodgers Chevy.

Clearly Becky takes better night photos than I do.

This is the Kicker Bass Station that came from the Sonic LT and I installed the day before the front lip.

When I get the pictures John Williams took I will post them in the following placeholders.

The yellow Sonic is John William's, is on air bags, has 15" Baer disc brakes, front and rear, leather interior w/ yellow inserts and yellow trim, awesome rims and is for sale. I just got a Victory Red RS so the yellow one is not within my means. This was the splitter that got my attention.

I finally got up the nerve to put the crossed flag emblems on. These are original emblems from a 1967 Camaro RS and were a gift back when I first got the Sonic RS.

Yes for a fiberglass mold, which mold was made off the lip you see in the pictures. This was originally to be a one-off but I did tell John Williams I had no objections if he wanted to make a mold in case others wanted the same lip, I just wanted to be the first retail user, so he made a mold and we did do a test fit before he installed the original.

More on the Kicker? It is a ten inch sub, was really needed for the LT. I debated using it in the RS or selling it, decided I would not know how effective it could be until installed, and am quite happy I did. Really helps the sound. One of the reasons I like it is it has a quick disconnection so can be moved or removed if more cargo space is needed, which happened twice while I had it in the LT.

I wanted the Design Rides lip because I think it enhances the RS sinister appearance; I believe it works.

As I have already admitted (and been informed) I am not good at taking pictures. It is hit or miss with me.

Don't know. I bought it at Best Buy. It is the Kicker Powered Subwoofer Model PT10.

When the temps get to 65* I'll be able to put the Crossed Flag fender badges on. These look to be originals from the 1967 Camaro RS and I have had the double sided tape on and ready to install since Christmas.

I do not know how he will price the lip, suggest emailing Design Rides in Grand Ledge, MI. We had set a price for a one off and he included the install in that price, which I appreciated because the front bumper needed to come off so the lip could be installed.

John got some very good shots from the side. As soon as I get them I will post.
