Hey, I'm from Memphis, TN. I just picked up a 2006 Chevrolet Aveo5/ Kalos RS. This is my second Aveo. My first was a 2009 Aveo5 that developed some issues and was let go to Chevrolet with 14 open recalls. This one I have many ideas and mods planned.

Welcome to the forum!
Recalls up to date with the new one? :D
What's first on the list for mods?
First thing is to set up a date with the body shop to have the rear end fixed. I've started my mods basically. Painted the crappy hubcaps charcoal grey with a red bowtie matching the emblems. I de-chromed the grill painting it a matching charcoal grey. I'm planning on coming up with a widebody kit, summer tires and rims, a few interior upgrades. And yes, recalls all good.

What happened to the back end? Like that when you got it?

Yeah, it was wrecked when I bought it. It was saved from a salvage yard a friend of mine works at. It came in with papers and a title from General Motors. The papers included a memo saying this "test mule" must be destroyed since it and another test mule were involved in a crash. I bought it pretty much stripped of anything related to what was being tested. The RS badging was already in place. I replaced the Kalos letters since it was missing the K and L.
I took 3 cars and built this one. The suspension and steering are tighter than other Aveos I have driven. The front bumper, headlights, and turn signals were missing when I got the car. Same thing inside. Missing seats, door panels, and carpeting. Dash is original to the car.
