      Benny's build thread

      What I've done, in pictures (and some text)

      i paints tail lights with rustoleum lens tint.
      i remove aveo5 and LT badges from hatchback gate
      plastidipped chevy badges
      Plastidipped bottom trim pieces below side doors, and side mirror cases
      Cold air intake
      Cut exhaust at cat converter, put glass pack on it and brought it out driver side just before rear tire with tip

      i plan on buying 50s moon hubcaps and plastidipping them until I can justify buying new wheels and or tires.

      Sort of, I bought the 90-94 set up, as listed above and made a couple cuts. When I buy the bypass valve, I imagine I'll have to make a couple more.

      It sounds great. You can really tell a difference, I mean...I could hear it anyway because my exhaust tip comes out just before rear tire..but now instead of hearing the exhaust..I can hear it coming from the engine compartment.

      Thanks...it was all relatively inexpensive. I hated the car when I bought it. Yellow tiny car you'd be certain was a girls car...so..I drove it hating it, then a year ago I got tint and stripes...hmm...not so bad...then I did the exhaust...and the badges, then I just did the cold air yesterday..it really is an insane difference. It really does have more power..or certainly feels like it..and sounds better too...everything in steps...i don't know what else I can do without spending a lot of money as far as looks or performance.

      Yeah I've got headlights in mine and painted the wiper arms front and back along with the bowites turquoise (wifes choice of color) I've got the ram air intake and it does make a difference! Gained about 1-2 mpg more! Plus the power. Looks nice. I should have pics in my garage on here. Oura is silver. I drive it more then my wife. But yeah I see what ur saying with the yellow. I'm not to crazy about the yellow lol. But everything else makes it look better!

      Sweet I think I'll have to build me one too. And ya I had the choice of yellow or red and I just love red to much to pass it up. Car looked like a mini minivan when I bought it! Wife helped pick it out. I was gonna buy a 2010 Malibu.

      White is my color. My 94 chevy 1500 was white. Then black tail light and headlights. Along with grille. And I painted it all white so it was white ib white.. then traded that teuck for a 03 s10 blazer (white) and got projector headlights and painted the housing white along with everything else white. Best color to have here in tx. Less eye attrative for cops. Really wish our aveo was white insted of silver. But it could be that stupid aqua blue color lol now that's one ugly color!
