Turbo II

[Beastlick]

Hurry up you have a lot of catching up to do

He already had me sourcing components for one of the most advanced LED projector retrofit ever built for the Sonic. I can't wait to start on them.

Glad to see you finally got to pick up that beauty Andrew! :banana:

Cheers to the new Sonic! Pearl white is gorgeous.

Thanks, Mike!

Just ordered some parts. Trim and LEDs. Can't wait.

Here are a couple of shots of Turbo I and Turbo II from this week's Houston Sonic Meet.

Thanks for those, Brad!

There is an LTZ sedan that I pass twice a day when I head out for on-site work and it is that pearl color. Pictures don't do it justice, it looks good. I think that would be my second color choice after silver. I liked silver before every other car on the road became silver, now I just blend in :blankface:

As our group photographer, it's hard to capture that pearl on camera. I'm going to have to set up a dusk/sunset photoshoot to try and capture that color for Andrew. You really have to see it in person.

Just a tip, don't buy VLEDS Triton V3 bulbs for your Sonic, they won't fit. The heat sink body is too deep and it won't allow the lamp assembly to seat against the car. I just learned this the hard way, but VLEDS customer service is top notch and I've ordered a different type of bulb from them.

Also, I dropped a spare RS tip off at the chromer's today. Hopefully I can have my muffler off and the tip on in a couple of weeks.

OK, trim came in today. I got the LS window moldings installed and I'll do the mirror caps and handles when I get my wheels.







Now I've got a drawer full of LEDs and chrome trim waiting on the right time to be installed.

How difficult was it to replace the trim without breaking anything

The old trim will bend itself into trash immediately. They are on super tight and you have to use force to get them off, which in turn bends the thin chrome. Other than that nothing else is harmed. Well, except for your sore fingers.

I'm assuming the new just snaps in place. And thanks in advance

Yeah, you just slide the ends into place and then push it down until it all snaps on.
