      Cheap mods for an Aveo

      I bought a 2004 aveo and I like it but I want to know what are any cheap mods that make it look better. I only have $150 to spare.

      $150?

      Costmetic Mod that makes it look better? Window tint would be #1 in my book. Does somewhat depend on where you live though.

      I don't have much in my Aveo and it's decent

      http://www.uniquemotorsports.com/aveo/mods/mods.htm

      modify intake (free)

      replace muffler with straight through design dynomax (about $100)

      or

      Aftermarket Mp3 player (don't forget wire and dash kit) ($150ish - $$$$$ if you can do it yourself, otherwise add $30 for the install)

      find the @ $64 (shipped) cold air intake from user chrome intakes (i think) on ebay..

      get a better muffler (style based on what you are looking for) this could be done for $40-50.
      or eliminate the resonator (could be done for about the same amount)

      pay subachad on here to make you a front tie bar @ $45

      that adds up to @ $150 and will make your car more responsive and handle better.

      otherwise you will want to save another $50 for springs.

      04 aveo radios are fairly cheap on ebay for a stock CD player and you can get them with AUX input for the Mp3 player.. plus i think they play MP3 burned CD's..?

      go to a sign shop and ask for scrap vinyl. they should give it to ya for very cheap or in most cases free.
      You can not commit crimes in a Aveo. Its just not fast enough.
