      2006 gmc toad

      Hello all! So I’m here to share my car with u guys.. I live in ny and come from a fabrication/hot rod background. For the last 4 years I’ve been daily driving a lifted h2 on 40’s so I finally decided to get something small and zippy but was made by gm (ish) lol so I picked up a Aveo lt hatch 5spd

      So I bought this thing for 600 and was told it needed a clutch. Turns out all it needed was a slave cylinder to get going. 160k for mileage so I bought it in January and since then I’ve done all front end parts except the rack itself, fixed the little bit of rust and painted everything except the hood and roof, 5% tint all the way around, rain guards , struts/shocks, new timing belt, timing covers and all related parts, all new motor and trans mounts, plasti dipped the wheels, cat converter, Aem cold air, eBay tail lights, full debadge and rename, all new brakes every corner, broke the door handle off ,plugs and some other tune up ****. And finally got some new sneaks today 205/55/15 Yokohama s-drives and a alignment. This thing drives so good like a new car lol I’m very proud of my car and thought I could share this thing with some folk who appreciate the Aveo

      Nice work, and belated welcome!

      So I decided I wanted to change the name and make it a “gmc” version after rearranging letters I had laying around we came up with toad. So I ordered the oem special edition “Silverado LT” emblem and now it’s a gmc toad SLE.. I get a lot of questions about it people actually think it’s the real deal. I ordered the gm emblems because cheap ones always get ****ed up quick

      Really like what you did with yours. What about the front chevy badge, what'd you replace that one with. Or did you just remove the bar? Is that a facotory wing? Mine sits right on the body, no gap, but yours I can see light coming through in the shop pic.

      Thanks,
      I just took the whole trim bezel off and left the honey comb plastic piece. The wing is stock, I belive it has do with the years because I’ve seen a 04 with the really tight spoiler but I’m not sure .

      So I haven’t found out much except it might be the cooling fan ballast but the part number comes up as a drl resistor for later year cars anyway I’ll post back with my findings . Here’s a couple good shots I think I’m finally done minus the grill emblem
