Going with aftermarket shock is still highly recommended, even if it's not a specifically "lowering" shock... You will see an improvement in ride quality, especially when going over bumps on the road at high speeds... aftermarket gas shocks stabilize the car both ways, not just one way like our OEM shocks do.Quote:

Different design projection headlights with better optics, like the ones Acura TL uses...
And like it's been said earlier in the thread, cheaper US made anti-roll bars. The most expensive part about UltraRacing part is the shipping cost to have them delivered stateside... if you look at the prices of the bars on Malaysian eBay -they're dirt cheap. I asked them why it's so expensive to ship them to US and they said that most of it is non-negotiable air-cargo charge.... I'm sure that someone can make the same if not better product here and sell it for less than what it costs to have it shipped here.
aftermarket projectors will never be as high quality as oem. Even high quality oem replacements are not as goo as oem. thats why an oem headlight costs like $300-600 while the aftermarket is like $150 for a pair.
As for almost everything else everyone is looking for, solutions are on their way this summer.
glad to hear that man! Looking forward to it. And good point on the price difference. You have teams of engineers designing the OEM projectors... so they gotta get paid, but like they say - you get what you pay for. :) If they made OEM projector factory upgrade for an Aveo - I'd buy that in a heartbeat. :)Quote:

I've been searching for a stainless mesh grill insert, just to spruce up the front end. It's already a good looking car, but i want mine to really stand out.
they had some on ebay for the 1st gen aveo, but if you debadge the front of the chrome it looks, though im not a fan of chrome to began with, but ebay is your place
90% of whats been said here is available if you know where to look
If i was able to turn my Aveo into what it is today, anyone can.
