Help/suggestions wanted

1603 Views 12 Replies 8 Participants Last post by  sparkman
The other day I purchased a white 2011 Cruze 1.8L 6 speed. Love it so far, but I'm looking to do some upgrades. I plan on plasti-dipping the chevy bowtie and already know how to do that. Any suggestions other than that as far as appearance or mods go? Not looking to spend too much money yet. Hit me up with some suggestions! Thanks!

What's your end goal? Welcome to CruzeTalk.
What color is the cruzen ?
Cold air intake , strut tower brace .coilovers , wheels and tyres ,

How much do you think you would like to spend ?
Rear brake light swap .. rear diffuser ... Headers ....the list is pretty long and elaborate so let us know ..
Just want to make it look better and maybe run a little better. Don't want to go too crazy with anything.
right now I'm not looking to spend too much since I just bought it. Not looking to spend over maybe a couple hundred yet, just looking for simple improvements

Easy things to do to make it run better:

1) Change oil and filter with correct oil viscosity and dexos1 grade and AC Delco filter.

2) Change air and HVAC filter with AC Delco filter.

3) Always run the engine on a Top Tier Gasoline: Chevron, Costco, Shell, Mobil, plus some others.

4) Inflate the tires to the correct cold air pressure as indicated in the tire placard inside the door jamb.

5) Remove any unnecessary cargo from the trunk. Like your golf clubs, hockey bag, etc.

6) Consider activating your OnStar account (optional).

7) Consider activating your XM radio account (optional).

Especially if you don't know the maintenance history of this car or when the last time the oil was changed.
Welcome to Cruze Talk, maybe do a resonator delete, don't cost a dime, should be a thread on here for that..
I bought the car from a dealership so the oil should be good. But thanks for the suggestions so far. Keep them coming!

I strongly recommend that you just replace the oil and the filter anyway, or at the very least check it and see how dark/full it is. Not telling how long it's been in there, or what type of oil it is.
