Love the front chin spoiler! Which brand and order info? That is going to be my next mod!

Nice looking ride! mine is the @AOSK - I got the front lip and trunk lip off amazon!

Not really, barely any loss as most of my commute for work is in town, traffic. But still with larger rim significantly better than my bolt. Not to mention the fun I have driving it. Handling has significantly improved also.

Well the most important thing is that it makes you happy, and I think it looks great. Congrats on getting it!

Hi, I'm Brian. I'm new to this forum. I'm in Ventura, California (Socal) - I bought a MME for work commuting as the EV payment balances out for the gas and wear/tear on my Ford F-250 Tremor.

It's a 2023 MME - Premium AWD - Extended Battery - Space White

Current Mods:
- 20% Tint all around
- Fitcam (Dashcam)
- Front Lip and Hatch Lip
- HRE FF10 20"x9.5 Wheels purchased from @VibeMotorsports
- Eibach Springs and Sway Bars (On the way)
- JL Audio 12" Power Wedge (Sitting in box waiting to be installed)
- Wrapped Marker lights in Smoke wrap

I think that's all that my plans are for this car besides enjoying it. I went from a Chevy Bolt EUV Premier, loved the car, but the range wasn't the best compared but I'm happy with my new MME and it's a blast to drive. I would have purchased the GT or GTPE but I wanted the additional range.



Excuse the dirty car, it rained the night before.

My Tremor

Welcome, I am a (hopeful) future MME-GTPE owner. I have a 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV LT2. I wanted to dip my toes in the EV pool for cheap, and see what happens. My Bolt was $30K, plus you get the full $7500 and Chevy paid $2300 toward a home L2 charger.
I can sell it now for $25K and make money on it.
Just letting you know, there will not be a huge improvement on your range!
I averaged 4.5 KW/miles in the Bolt and a range of 260 miles consistently.
My son just leased a Hyundai iOniq 6 LR, says 361 miles, gets 380 miles (because of low drag sedan shape) Fully optioned .
I like your MODS, I love modding my ICE vehicles, not much you can do with EV's.

That's kinda what I assumed. Still gets better range than my Chevy Bolt EUV. I do alot of LA driving in traffic and streets So range has barely changed.

The little BOLT EUV LT2, like a very efficient ICE vehicle, gets great "mileage". I averaged 4.2-4.8 Miles/kWh. In the summer/fall. With a 200HP motor and 3600 lb weight, not a bad driver.
I easily bested the 247 mile range by 20-30 miles
0-60 under 7sec. But truly Fugly
Hence, here I am , lurking

That’s a dirty car?

By California standards, yes! Spotless by Oregon standards!

This is a 2023 Premium AWD Extended Battery? How did you get the body color wheel well trim? I don't see that in your list of mods? I thought Select and Premium have the black wheel well trim, and body color was only on the GTs. I just bought a 2023 Premium AWD Extended Battery and my wheel well trim is gloss black.

It looks like it was painted and not from factory.

Yes I had them painted a month or so ago. Forgot to mention in mods.

that wasn't the paint-matched fender flares?
how did you black out the reflective bits on them?

No I had a local body shop paint them for me and the marker lights I bought smoke film off amazon and wrapped them myself. VERY easy, just takes a little time, hair dryer and some patience .

Hey! i have always been super curious about something, and please don't take it the wrong way, maybe you can answer.

It is illegal in ca to drive with tint on the front windows. I have a used car with light tint (much less than yours) and got pulled over once.

Given that is is illegal, how can shops exist to do the work? Do you ever get pulled over for that much tint? Do you worry about it?

(it has benefits and looks good, don't get me wrong, just always wondered about the practical aspects)

Curious!

 

[bbrett]

Yes, it is illegal to have your front windows tinted in California. I like the fact that it helps keep the cabin cooler while giving me privacy. Most police will not pull you over just for that unless they want to be a jerk. Most of them use it as probable cause if you’re driving stupid. There’s no law that says that shops can’t tint your windows because at the end of the day, it’s on you as the owner.

 

[stmache]

Nicely done. I keep wavering on the front lip...I'm sure I'll cave soon!

 

[kikibop]

see if you can take some pics from a little further back. Park it on the street maybe.

I'll try tomorrow. Here's a couple others I took recently.
