Hi I just got an 2008 Chevy Aveo LS. Here some pics. I got 20% tint, K&N Drop-In Filter, Gunmetal hubcaps, Royal Purple Motor Oil, E3 spark plugs, and waiting for my DDM Tuning 5000k HID to come in. Future mods: 16" rims, 12" or 10" sub, Eibach Pro Kit springs, and custom Skunk2 exhaust. Tell me wht u think and wht I should do :mrgreen:
Hubcaps look good, nice car man. What style of modding are you into? All chromed out, all blacked out, performance driven look, Carbon fiber?
more of a performance driven look. trying to give it a sporty look/street racer look. I can't wait to install the 5000k HID in it! :mrgreen:
Ok, well first you're gonna need 18" rims, a huge rediculous spoiler, a 6" exhaust tip and JDM and performance stickers all over it for parts you don't have...just kidding. :lol: Just go subtle with it, some Enkei 16's or 17's, maybe some LED taillights, 1.5" H&R lowering springs, cold air intake.Quote:

dont mind wolf and his ricer habits, he cant help himself
nice aveo btw, it will be nice to see what you can do with it
"Joey mod" the headlights... Having no extra reflectors with your HID's will look better than just putting them into fully chrome stock headlights.
Is your car A/T or 5-speed? The reason I ask is because if you run HID's you'll want to disable your DRL's(Daytime Running Light), or else they will under-power your ballasts and short your bulbs over time...not right away, but after a few months. Anyways, the reason I ask about your trans is because if yours is a 5-speed the DRL fuse is in the driver's side dash fuse panel labeled "N/A DRL". If you have an automatic, well...things are gonna get more complicated. I don't think anyone has figured out how to disable them on the 07-10 Sedans A/T yet.Quote:

Are you sure that's all you have to do to disable them? Have you tried? I could've swore we had a few members that couldn't disable their DRL's because of a Neutral Safety Switch in the A/T or something.

Cool. That'll work then.
The older Aveos don't have the DRL fuse.
They have a little black module with a yellow sticker right above the gas pedal you just have to unplug on the 1G's.
Just installed the DDM Tuning 5000K HID kit. :mrgreen: Tell me what you think. :D
Welcome to the site and you have a nice car, by the way nice choice in getting those 5K over another color.
thanks. i was going to get 6000k but too much blue for my taste.Quote:

Now all you gotta do is install some fog lights and put some 3000k HIDs in there too. :D 8) fog light color is a matter of preference too though, some people like to keep it European style - yellow has been a color of choice for fog lights for Mercedes and BMW for over a decade now (and as of late JDM crowd likes to think they're the only ones with yellow fogs), or you could match it to your headlights. Both look nice IMO, depending on the style of your fog/driving lights. If they're true fog lights, then yellow looks better in them, if they're just tiny driving lights, then a match up would look better, also just my opinion.
