    Oh, you guys have no idea. Every single "accessory" is held on by wood screws..... I'll take pics monday of that.....by the way, please don't post these all over the net. I can get in trouble at the job for posting stuff like this.....

    I'm just trying to wrap my head around why someone would put a fake sunroof on a car.

  3. Modern muscle cars like this fine example will kill off the classic car hobby. It's just a matter of time. :D

    So are the screws too long and sticking out? I'm guessing yes.

    Ahhh HRP:D
    I used to go to the HRP in Sagamore Hills, Weasel and Dug (Doug) worked there, LOL, was actually a decent set up, you could actually buy, sell, trade, barter old Hot Rod parts.
    Wish shops like that were still around:(

    I thought all those Vatozone speed parts were self adhesive; maybe they aren’t rated for the the speed of that Sonic (yo!).

    Lucas, what I really want to know is why the car was in there. Were you putting a continental kit on it, or something like that? You get a lot of stuff like that up there? If you could post one a day, that would be great in these challenging times.

    I had a buddy do the same thing with a dodge Shadow or Sundance 15 yrs ago when the fast and the furious was all the rage. It was complete with some half assed body kit and multitiered spoiler. He did it as a joke.. although the turbo 2.2 was kinda quick..

  20. So was it in for warranty repair work? I'd be surprised if all those high performance modifications didn't void the factory drivetrain warranty
