I just got this Aveo about a month ago and all it had was the rims on it. Thanks to this forum, I got some ideas to paint it two tone, smoke out the tail lights, and put the eyelids on. Best part about it is that I did all the exterior mods myself and for about 40 bucks!
I just bought some H&R lowering springs and a front tower strut bar to help with the handling. I'll be posting pics when it's all done.
I went with Ultra Racing. Couldn't find too many places that had the tower strut for the Aveo5 without having to modify, so I just went with them. They are manufactured in Malaysia though so the part is taking a while to get delivered.
