      New to me! Yay!




      2009 Aveo5 1LT. Not even 5500 miles on it when I bought it. I'm absolutely loving the almost 40 MPG this thing gets. If its anything like my last cars, it'll only get better with age.

      Now a few questions:

      1. Fog lights--I like the factory ones, but if aftermarket ones mount in 100% I'm down.
      2. Wheels--I already picked out a set of them I like - 16x7" offset 40. 215/40/16 tires. Sound like I'll have any fitment issues?
      3. Exhausts--I'm curious if there's any exhausts even pre-fabbed for this car? A quick search I did shows no. Sad.
      4. Suspension--Is anyone running some eibach springs on these? If so, I'd really like to see!



      Okay, so. Thank you for putting up with my questions. Thank you in advance, and I'm looking forward to being an active member here.

      So, unfortunately, my first mod had to be an additional 130 decibel horn. Here in Minneapolis, people apparently don't see anything smaller than their Suburban or Hummer or F150.


      I'll just say they stay the hell out of my lane now.

      lol nice shibbs. did it also change the noise when you use the alarm?
      Ive been wanting to change the horn for awhile but it wasnt a priority on the list of things i want done.

      I was really surprised at the stock horns in my 09. It sounds like Chevy pulled the horns from an Impala or something.

      They still weren't loud enough tho. haha
