I have built many cars in the past. Some for cruising, some for Racing. My latest addition to the family is a 2014 Cruze Diesel in Red Tintcoat. I plan to update this thread each time something on the car changes.
But for now, let's see the pictures! October 27th, 2013
Here she is, fresh from delivery. Dealer did a lousy job cleaning the interior, but she sure is pretty on the outside!
This is me standing with the salesman as I take delivery.
Initial thoughts: Tires are hard, economy and torque are nice, dang it, forgot the rearview camera!!! Oh well, she looks good anyways!
I blacked out all the chrome (bar, bowtie, grill, rear bumper piece, window trim, foglights) on my CRT 13 Cruze. Adds so much bad***ness. Looks real clean so far man, keep it up and keep popping up pics.
Question, it looks like you have an additional light that comes on when you open the door, between the map lights. If so, was it like that from the factory? I'd really like to add something like that to my 2012 ECO, as it does not have that, nor have I seen it on other cruzes for that matter.

Can't see the pics at work but 2013 and up have dirent front dome lighting than previous years. I just got wind of similar one in the Verano but with ambient lighting led built in.
I don't know much about the other years, but the standard configuration for the 2014 is 3 lights. The 2 outside map lights operate individually from their switches, and the center light is tied in with the dome light.
It's been quite a while since I've updated this thread. I've been busy for the last month ordering LED lights and installing them. So far I have install Switchbacks and resistors, reverse lights, front and rear markers, and driving lights on the trunk. I have brake lights and turn signals on order.
Today I installed LED strips in the fog light location, and hooked them up to the fuse box. I was able to order the fog light switch through Amazon for a very reasonable price.
I am very happy with the way it looks, and looks amazing at night. :th_dblthumb2:
Pretty much the exact same, except I couldn't separate the fuse panel enough to pull it out. I ended up tapping the fuse from the top. If you do this, you want to tap the fuse on the side closest to the front of the car so that you still have a fused connection.
Car has settled. Started noticing I can't park over my parking block anymore, because I drag it out when I back out of the garage. Just measured the front, but now its 25.5"
That means, you can expect a 2" drop in the front using the Eibach Pro-Kit. Really need to source a smaller bump stop
Moar pics of the car with the spings on it was the kit specificly made for the diesel or was it a universal kit did it go lower than expected cause of the extra weight up front
Eibach pro-kit, probably made for Cruze LT or RS. The springs fit in the Diesel locations no problemo. And yes, it did go lower than expected, by about half an inch. I am digging it for now. :th_dblthumb2:
Final present for the car, Clarion XH5210 install with 4 gauge wire. Took 7 hours, but wanted to make sure we did a quality install. We used up a roll of solder, but I think the final product looks amazing!
