Sup everyone,
I own a 2018 Cruze Hatch with the 1.4 L Turbo. It is currently bone stock and I would love suggestions on mods for this vehicle!
Currently looking into:
  • Performance Cold Air Intake
  • Magnaflow Straight Pipe Cat Back with a quad tip
  • Tune up
  • Coilovers / Suspension (I want to sit 1-2 inches lower)
  • Tires and Wheels (I am thinking about a white 5/6 star design for the wheels)
  • Tinted Windows
  • Debadging
  • New Head lights and Tail lights
This is about how far I have planned it out so far. Did I mention I am going with a Rick and Morty theme!! I am so excited to start this adventure. I will post current photos at a later time!

Welcome Aboard!(y)

What is your budget?

I would start by changing all of the fluids, do a thorough check of the brakes and then do the tune-up.
After I would buy a tune unless the tires are not in good shape, then i would consider those first. You can de-badge anytime you like as that is a minimal cost. After that most of the other mods you want are cosmetic at best.
Do you have a manual trans or auto?

I don't have a budget right now. I just wanna do all this work over time.

I was wanting to work more on the sound of the car and cosmetics right now. I was planning on doing new brakes and rotors when I replace my wheels and tires.

I have a automatic transmission.

You can get pretty deep into this car with just sound and cosmetics. That is why I push the fundamentals first. Once the vehicle is solid, it will be worth spending money on it.

dual catback exhaust - $700
Tint - $250
lowing springs $250
good struts/shocks $700 or coil overs $250-650
grille $100-350
Tires and wheels $1000-2000
Headlights $300 - 2000
Taillights $350 - $450
