Hello Aveo community. I am undertaking my first of hopefully many mods to my '04 Aveo this weekend. Starting easy with a simple Badge Blackout. Anyways... the '04 Aveo has the front badge stuck on front of the horizontal 'chrome' bar... which are layed over top of the crossed black 'grille'. My question is... did anyone black out the silver bar too? I was considering it, but wouldn't mind hearing if anyone else did it too. Thanks!
I did it with my aveo. But I took the badge off and painted around the border. The finished product looks sweet with my black car :D
A lot of us have removed that silver bar and bow tie altogether. It's very easy, you just remove the grill, take out 8 or 9 screws holding on the chrome stuff and you've got yourself a blacked out grille.
My only problem with that is that you can see where it was screwed in, and I didn't really like that
Yeah, as the last poster stated, the 1st Generation Aveo's leave you with awful looking screw holes. I do however like the looks of the entire thing painted black. May try that in a few minutes. I'll post pictures with how it looks!
I think whenever I get the free time I will be blacking out the rear bowtie in class as well. I wasn't going to originally, but now I think it just stands out better. Not to hijack the thread, but do you guys think I should paint it all black, or black with a green border like I did on the front?
it should match or be shaved completely.
at the moment its just shaved. I have to paint it, but I'm waiting to see how some other things at school pan out
What about the silver bar on the boot lip for the sedans? That would need to be painted right?
I'm looking to know how to do that
Do u have to remove the bumper to take off the badge? i jst wana spray mine black? Please advice? And will it be easy to take off the back badge with fishin gut?
I'm not sure what you mean by "fishin gut," but to de-badge mine, I just used a blow dryer to heat up the glue, and a wedged a piece of floss behind the badge and essentially cut the glue. I have a 2010 Aveo, and the back badge had two prongs on the back of it that attach to two holes in the back of the car. So eventually I had to pry it off since the floss won't cut through the prongs - nor would I want it to.
Fishin gut is fishin line. Ok so u dnt still have to remove ur bumper infront to gt the badge off? Is it easy to put both back on mst u put glue on agen?
