i want 2 remove the badges.. so the rear 1 has those holes right?
good work btw bro!~

The front is workable by uninstalling the chrome piece. There are a few small holes, but unnoticeable.

The rear will leave two little holes. If I were to do it again, I would paint the inner area of the badge (iinside the chrome trim) to the exterior paint of the car.

The rear hatch has two holes in the plastic trim that houses the license plate lights, and door handle. I need to get some body work done anyway so I am just going to fill it and paint it. Might even paint it black just to put some color back there. I'm going to have to talk to a buddy of mine about it now lol.

Oh my cars theme colors are pretty much black with the factory blue. I'm not very good with body work so it's not going to be easy, I am hoping to find someone local to me who is amazing at the stuff and work out a deal. Until then I am just buying parts in the colors I want lol.

if you buy a g3 or wave license plate filler panel, it wont have those two holes.

Good idea, then I just have to find black. maybe I will hit up a scrap yard tomorrow.

I did the EGR ground also. Updated the DIY to recommend it. Very noticeable imporvement in throttle response, and the aveo seems happier all around. Thank you gain for the tip.

Been hitting google hard for that license plate filler panel, and I have had no luck. Don't suppose anyone has a part number, I want to compare measurements to make sure it will work.

So how is going the work on your aveo?

[petrified.rabbit]

its the same hatch, it will work.

I'm still looking for that hatch peice, What year of pontiac G3 is that? I have seen one in my area but without knowing a year I can't just hit up the junkyards or parts stores for it.

I got the check from the hail damage finally. I'm not going to worry about fixing the body up too much right now. A buddy and I are curious about the dry ice method but work or not I don't care at this point.

I have already ordered the Ultra Racing 4pc chassis brace kit from ThrowDownPerformance. Look forward to more pics of my install, and my garage will definitely be updated as well.
