Thanks man!

I know that the chrome surround on the grille is not replaceable, but I have seen colored headlamp rings available as an accessory in other countries, but I haven't looked to see how complicated they are to change or if they are just overlays.

There are not overlays!

First i want it the LT and the had only the chroom on the grill and not the headlights

i want to order the rings but the said to me now there are not overlays when you want the chroom you must buy the hole Front headlight!

the chroom rings are molded with screw on the back!

Here is a pics of my aveo LTZ and a Aveo LT

when you watch good you see the diffrent!

Andrew, can you provide a link to the ebay auction where you bought those wheels? I want a set for autox and I wanna make sure I get the light weight ECO wheels and on the LT wheels.

Also, what size tires did you put on them? Do you have part numbers for the center caps or anything else needed?

How about those repeater lights on Ferdie's Aveo's front fenders?
We all know you like lights! Another possible mod? :)

What class are you planning on running in? FYI, the ECO wheels will not be legal in a Stock class. The ECO wheels are 17X7 and your LTZ wheels are 17X6.5. If you're going to run in ST or SM then you are fine.

Well crap! I could have sworn LTZ wheels were 17x7 so that sux. I suppose I could just stuff my 225/45 Star Specs on the stock LTZ wheels but I didn't really didn't want to daily drive on the sticky stuff.

Hey man. Very interested in seeing what you paid for the Eco Rims and those Bridgestones?
Click to expand...

Yo!

The wheels I got off eBay for $110/ea. plus shipping from this guy. He now wants $175/ea. for them. He has three of them with blemishes for $110/ea. but who knows how bad they are and you'd have to buy one of the unblemished ones to make a set.

I paid $145.50/ea. for the tires but with the mounting, lifetime balance & rotation, road hazard warranties, TPMS kits (moved the OEMs off the 15"s to the 17"s), fees and taxes it all came to $840.14 out the door.

The center caps, part number 9597551, I got from GMPartsDirect.com and they cost me $99.65 shipped.

All told I've got about $1,500 in the wheels and tires.

Man, I didn't realize that I spent that much. lol

I would love some repeaters on the fenders, but I'm not going to do the necessary body work to add them. The fenders for cars with the repeaters are stamped with the mounting hole, and I'm not drilling or importing fenders from Korea. lol

Does anyone know if the sonic has a flasher module?

No flasher module, the BCM controls it.

Man, almost 7,700 thread views!

I finally got my front parking/signal bulbs and tail/brake bulbs in yesterday. Unfortunately, one of the tail/brake bulbs is defective. We'll see how V-LEDS handles it.

I'm also expecting another piece to come in today or Monday. Just a little cheap cosmetic mod. :)

EDIT: My "mod" came in the mail today, so I had to put it on.

It would be cool if it could be activated to light up under economical driving. I guess GM was prepping for the future when they added that light.
