      What I've Done...08 aveo5

      Speculations:

      2008 Chevy Aveo5 LS
      2nd owner since August 2011
      5 speed manual
      No A/C


      What I've Done:

      8000k HID Hi/lo w. relay harness to override DLR's
      6000k HID Fog lights w.o harness (really accommodate and look good with 8000k)
      x2 blue led strip at drive/passenger feet.(running off 12v plug beside ebrake, no time for switch yet)
      x2 SMD LED license plate bulbs
      x1 SMD LED interior dome light
      audio style led strip lights under headlights plugged in to relay harness extra lo spot.

      What Im Gunna Do:

      **I have LED bulbs i wanna put in my stop and reverse tail lights... however i am having a B**ch of a time. i unscrew the two screws, and pull straight back on light to not "break it" and i cant get it to come out, the only way i feel any give is if i pull on an angle to the outside of the car... but apparently this will break to sensitive clips and will render my tail lights UN-useable. does anyone have any suggestions at all??????***

      These lowering springs of ebay:

      (any suggestions/warnings you have?)

      (any suggestions/warnings/reviews you have?)

      This Double Din 7" Deck Off Ebay:
      http://www.ebay.ca/itm/260761888563?...84.m1427.l2649
      (Any Suggestions/Warnings/Reviews You Have?)

      I plan on tinting the windows, getting a spoiler, and making the antenna shorter, one issue i have come in to is everyone says the antenna just twists off... mine doesnt... ive tried using grips and all it does it turn the rubber, i do not want to break it then be SOL. does anyone have any ideas or tips??

      I'm going to buy one of the chrome cold air intake kits off ebay as well, i have been hesitating because im scared to get hydro lock, or break something. any suggestions/ reviews?

      Since its winter ive also used my steels with my winters now so im going to buy 14" rims for the summer now, i dont want to get bigger rims and tires since im going to be spending a lot on a lowering kit.

      below is a few pics of what ive done these past few months










      Thanks For Looking and dont forget to leave your comments / questions / suggestions / tips BELLOW

      I would personally recommend your next "modifications" be a new set of wheels and get it lowered. Instantly will make your car look a whole lot better!

      Just get the right sized tire and it should really be about the same in size, you will need to go lower profile depending on the rim size though. I read your comment about the antenna, it was a bitch for me to get off its on super tight. So it does just twist off, its just next to impossible when it hasn't been done yet. I wanted to replace mine with a shorter one as well but the adapters were too long.
