I'm replacing a stereo in my wife's Aveo, but I can't for the life of me find a wiring diagram so I can hook it up. No one in our area has a harness (and I stupidly went ahead and cut the wires anyway). Anyone know a resource where I can find out what colors head where?

NEVER, and I mean NEVER cut the wires to install you stereo.
Go to crutchfield, or even your local best buy, they have wire harnesses. You un-plug the harness from the stereo, have plug it into the harness adapter for your new stereo.
The harness will cost you about $20.00, if it is an LT with the stock CD player, you will have to get the mount kid, which is about $30.00.
Total of like $50.00, and you don't just bolt together, plug in the wires and rock out.
Best advice, however is to take it to a stereo shop, or to best buy/circuit city, or what ever electronic store near you and have them install it. It costs about $70, and no wires get cut, you have a warranty, and best of all, you don't have to do it..
I will repeat this, NEVER EVER cut the wires to your radio wiring harness..
NEVER!

I bought the harness off ebay so it's not impossible to find. Costs less than $10. Buy it and save yourself a lot of grief.

I'm installing a new stereo into my 06 Aveo as well.
I haven't cut any wires, I have a wiring harness that fits, but its for a toyota.
it shouldn't be a problem, I just need a wiring diagram so that I know what plugs into what so that I can hook it up correctly, because i've got a bunch of different colored wires, and they don't all match up from my stereo to my harness to my car.
