      Aveo 2.0 Turbo a few pics!

      Snapped a few pics while taking pictures for RoRo so here goes!

      Last weekend i repainted the brakes:







      Painted the front grill and the rear bowtie in flat black:






      I had to lose the foglights to make room for the turbo piping and i hated the way the piping would stand out from the foglight holes in the bumper, so i cut them out using a dremel, painted them flat black to match the turn signals and grill and mounted them into the bumper to try and hide the piping, makes it look more sleeper!! Here's a few front pictures:












      And yeah my bumper is in pretty bad shape from over the years lol. I'm either looking to get an aftermarket one or grab one from a scrapyard that's in good shape.

      Inside the car, my favorite gauge, the BOOST gauge hahah






      Megasquirt!




      Under the hood:




      If you guys want to see specific pics of the car feel free to ask!

      To match the fabric on the door panels and a few other places in the car where there is gray, it would have made it too white if i had painted it.

      It does make a nice contrast seen in person.

      The pain is Krylon Fusion for plastics.

      would you recommend it?
      i dislike the gray panels,
      but i wouldnt want to make them black
      if its going to chip away every time i have
      something pointy in the car

      As with any paint, if you hit or scratch it with something pointy it will damage it.

      It's pretty resistant tho, its the kind of paint you use on patio furniture and the like.

      But you still have to be carefull, you will need to do touch ups after a few years, mine have been painted for almost 5 years and they need a few touch ups.
