      Opinions on my Build

      Okay, so as you may or may not have figured out yet, I am building a show daily driver out of my Aveo. Something that will get some aftermarket attention.

      I figure with more intelligent and aware tuners out there then me (I know very little about mechanics/tuning) I'd let someone else do the all out performance car.

      The mosat recent thing I'm deciding on is I want the final product to look "almost" like a stock import version of a Kalos. I know the obvious things like the bodykit will give away that its not stock.

      The question is, I really like the Holden Lion logo, yet I prefer the cars original Kalos name... would I look stupid/Ricey to badge the car as a Holden Kalos? I mean its not far off from being correct....

      By the way, any "factory" badges I use will be molded in before the paint, being painted the same as the rest of the body (similar to how concept cars are done). So I won't be obnoxious about having shiny chrome badges all over a polished copper car.

      If having Holden badges would've caught some attention than the stock holden would've gone some where. I say go USA!

      no wait kirbycope has a point, if people see that an aveo is modded and not a holden at first then people will have more interest because it shows that the US chevy aveo is capable of something more than just an economy car.

      If you're trying to bring attention to the Aveo, then call it an Aveo. That's my opinion.

      Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far the wall moves after you hit it.

      Very True...Points Taken into serious consideration.


      I Think I'll Stick with the Kalos V name, but not include the manufacture...i.e. no Holden, Daewoo, Chevy.

      Pretty much I'm going to make it a curiosity thing...so far its been working out good locally.
