Josef's 05 Aveo Hatchback LS Start through Finish!

[jonelledge]

that car looks really sweet, from front to back and top to bottom!! especially love how those rims look on it really sweet!

ive got a ram air intake for like 30 bucks or so on ebay with filter, works and sound great seen about 1mpg + on average. but i have the same headlights. i was gonna get rims(some things have came up) and i want to do the exhaust (wife wont let me do that) lol. ive painted some of the interior stuff turquoise along with the bowtie and wiper blades because thats the color she wanted, dont look bad at all since the car is silver. (even though i drive it every day) ive got a feeling that we are going to give it back to my mother in law when we get another vehicle. but ive got easily $1,000 in it. but do note (ill take the intake off and use it on my blazer lol or other vehicle. im gonna hate to see this car go when it goes back to them.

have you had any problems with the halo leds flickering? mine filickers and then 2 burnt out, so i just unhooked them. (didnt have them installed mabe 3 months when that happned)

Note if you do get the intake from ebay the mounting bracket is crap youll probable have to rig up your own as i did but once you get past that obstacle i love the intake specially as eye candy and the sound!
here is a pic of the intake!

Well I would like to install some blue interior accent lights under the dash to light up the floorboards and such, maybe paint the imprinted letters and such on the shift knob red, install blue led lights behind the a/c controls and everything, maybe paint the grey dash and doors black, and i think that is about it lol Most recently i installed an engine tank heater and i posted a thread in the how-tos section for the install. I also put Ultra Bright LED strips behind my eyebrow strip to brighten them up a lot I might do some things concerning performance but I'm not too sure lol

What part of Illinois are you from?
i'm near Litchfield

is there a diy for the blue gauges?

jonellege - I havent had any flickering problems with the halos, but i know if you call spec=d tuning (where the headlights are sold from i believe) they will send you replacement ones lol they are the only place that carries the leds that fit the halos i think lol

MikeC06 - near Springfield

TickleTimeTim - i dont see a drop any time in my near future lol i just dont like being low to the ground lol and its pretty self explanatory, you just unscrew the screws that are visible directly above the gages and disassemble it all lol The lights just screw out. here are the lights i used from ebay 6X Bright Blue T10 Wedge 6 SMD LED Dashboard Instrument Panel Indicator Light | eBay

BabyBlue2010 - Thank you so much!

Yeah I believe your right. I thought about putting the ccfl in but dobt have tge tine to do it so I haven't even bothred. Ill deffeantly see about getting with them and see about a set!

[josefb134]

I feel like it would be difficult to replace it with ccfl's just because youd have to take apart the whole headlight and hope it goes back together as nice as it wasw before lol

[jonelledge]

I've took mine on my s10 blazer off to paint the inside white it was prettu easy the libgest part was waif ing on the paint to dry. But it looks great! Dont know if I wanna put the time into it because once we get anorher car thar one is gonna go back to my mother inlaw and father inlawand I've got quite a bit in it lol!
