Orange LT Hatchback. I passed by you on I-80 at the Brookville Exit (76 I think?). You have an American flag sticker on your driver-side rear quarter panel. Was this you? If so, Hello! :)

I have to say, $ub$onic did an amazing job at what many others have said was impossible and wouldn't do. I made these custom vinyl designs for my car a few years ago, and haven't been able to find anyone willing to cut it. I'm really happy with the end result. :) Now I have to finish cleaning...

Ok, I need some advice. How are these things supposed to come off? I dipped them on the car, and now I need to remove them so I can clean them. But, I can't seem to figure out how they're clamped on. The clips seem incredibly hard to unfasten, and I think I'm overlooking something. Anyone...

I'm going to be painting my wheels again soon with white Plastidip, and I thought it would be nice to add a layer of NeverWet to them for some awesome water-proofing (especially with the snow season around the corner). I setup a test board today to see how well the Plastidip and the NeverWet...

I opted to just whiteout the front grill and fogs, and I'll be doing the headlight rings soon as well. For anyone looking to dip your grill like this, I would just recommend leaving it on the vehicle if you can. Taking apart the entire front bumper assembly is a LOT of work. The problem is...

Ok guys, I need your help. I've whipped up a few photoshop designs for the front of the car, and I can't decide which I want to use. I'm really liking the idea of using white instead of black, but they both look pretty sharp. Also, I don't know if the upper part of the front fender is too...

Summer vacation is officially here, and it's time to start repainting the car. :) I'll be redoing my wheels again soon as I did before (see the DIY here: http://www.sonicownersforum.com/forum/do-yourself-articles/3325-plastidip-your-17-stock-wheels.html), but in the meantime I thought I'd use...

Took this pic today just minutes before we got slammed with an insane storm. This is at the Bryce Jordan Center & Beaver Stadium in State College, PA. Made it to my car just in time. :) EDIT: Mistyped the thread title. Should have read BJC, not BYC.

Well, I really messed up the car this time. Driving home on icy roads and the car slammed into a curb on a 90 degree turn. Snapped and bent a lot of the front suspension on my driver-side. We got the car home and I've decided to do a lot of the repair myself. The lower control arm is...

I am in desperate need of a repair manual for my 2012 Chevy Sonic LTZ Turbo. The official Chilton and Haynes websites don't show any repair manuals available. Does anyone know of any others?

A YBC truck driver thought it would be nice to take off the front driver side of my car ... Pending repair once his insurance company actually calls me back. *sigh*

Just wanted to post some pics of my Seasucker Naked Flex Mount inside my LTZ Hatchback. After taking the pics, I found a way to use this mount to attach to the top dash tray and let my iPad hang in front of the radio, which would be much less obtrusive to my viewing and more convenient to reach...

Anyone else heard anything more about this? GM/Chevrolet Performance Working On Stage Kits For Cruze, Sonic: Rumormill | GM Authority

As a continuation of my plastidip work, I've decided to dip the hatch today similarly to how the z-spec concept was done. The paint is still drying in the pic and I still need to rub off the overspray from under the chrome handle, but you can't really see it anyways.

I have to ask, has anyone else gotten frustrated with trying to find some decent videos on YouTube of the Chevy Sonic and just get really sick and tired of seeing all the dealership videos? Seriously, try it sometime: Search Results for "Checy Sonic" sorted by Upload Date: chevy sonic -...

Believe it or not, it actually took me about 2 months of owning this vehicle to discover that if I lightly tap the sunroof switch to move it backwards, that it automatically slides to the rear. My question is, why don't we have an auto-close? Or am I just missing something ...

It seems we have "diamond rings" on our pistons? o.O ... Interesting. Is this something that Chevy just started, or have all the Sonic's (1.4L Turbo's) been manufactured with them from the get-go? ‘Diamond Rings’ Shine on Chevrolet Sonic, Cruze

I just finished plastidiping my fuel door (http://www.sonicownersforum.com/forum/t3328/), and I noticed that there is a hole lined up with a loop in the door, and I'm assuming that this is where a fuel door locking mechanism would be placed. Am I correct on this? And is this an option that...

Yes, it's yet another Plastidip DIY. This time, how to dip your fuel cap door. This one is easy, and I'll walk you through it in just a few steps. Much like other parts of the car, this one is incredibly easy to paint when it's off the vehicle. To remove the cover, pull up slightly on the...

Checkin to see if anyone is from the Central Pennsylvania area. I'm from DuBois and thinking about starting some Sonic meetups if there's enough interest. Let me know and comment below.
