      Finally took a picture of my car... (Lots of pictures now)

      update:

      sent in my final payment today. so car is fully paid for.

      what it looks like now:



      coilovers, 15" wheels and 195/45r15 tires, cai, exhaust, any many more projects to come.






      old stuff:


      i don't want to keep putting up new threads so i am just going to start making this a progressive or build thread for my car....
      keeping posted of what i am working on.

      now that the suspension is on, i dont feel so strange taking pictures.. still looking for rims. and need to price factory fog lights and do the cruise mod..



      flash forward: Wheels, debadged, DIY headlights




      Hayabusa muffler:





      last picture shows how i attached the flange and mated the pipe. there is still a flange right on the other side of the axle.


      Cold Air intake:



      Taken from a 92ish honda accord (discussed in another thread) cut down the pipes, and the couplers are all the right size.
      I would recommend multiple fitments, and making your own brackets.

      And Fog Lights! :




      The car is missing enough of the factory harness that i decided against using any of it. After investigating, i could have entered the factory harness at the junction box beside the battery. But who really wants to take that all apart, and then spend @ $60 for a factory headlight switch? So i ran a relayed harness and switch, i have temp fogs in place until the chrome rings come in at the dealer though, still might order the correct Aveo5 foglights, or just modify the sedan ones i have. Also the switch does well in the spot, if it had the little fog light picture on it then it would appear factory, even though the picture makes it off. (if you install the switch there, you need to take that piece out, and unplug the power mirror switch harness from the back of it.)

      I'm really digging the way the headlights look. I don't like the look of my stock headlights.

      Hey petrified....when you did the Joey mod. You just took the orange reflector out, right? I mean....the bulb is already there for turn signal...on another thread someone said I needed to buy 194 amber bulbs and I can't understand why. What bulb would I be removing to put that one in? I'm hoping to eliminate that step all together.
