Looks good. What are you planning on doing to it, other than lowering it with a nice set of rims, of course. Do you know of any companies that are working on body kits for this?

Re: Check out this new Specta5 - .

they come fromt eh factory with 16 inch wheels, slightly lower suspension thant he sedan counterpart, lip kit all the way around and manual versions have strut tower bars up front.

we started doing the pdi tech inspections on the first ones we got about a week ago. this is in the midwest so i imagine larger cities hav had them for about a month.

SEMA project vehicle update

People!!!

You're not going to believe what we've transformed our 5-door into for the SEMA show. We've been here at the shop burning the midnight oil for the past week getting it ready.

I'm a little hesitant about putting pictures on here before the show. You never know, someone at Kia might like to read these and it could somehow get back to me. If you can't make it to the show next week, hang tight. I'll post some pics when I get back from Vegas.

The car is bright orange with a completely new front clip and massive spoiler hanging off the back. Of course there are monitors and bigger wheels stuffed under the lowered chassis and all of that. The car is trick!

Anyway, hope your car is coming along fine. Hope to see you all in Vegas!

Dave

Re: Check out this new Specta5 - .

sounds ricey.

can't anyone besides the few actual import builders out there build a car that isn't focussed on big wheels and wings.

this car has a variant of the hyundai beta engine in it...i am sure there has been more than enough time to crack the engine management and build a respectable forcd induction setup that has the brains to not choke and die when driven.

i'll wait for te pics but at the same point i can just og to my garage and stare at my 2040lb, 190+hp civic hatch that has stock body and big ol' 15's on it.
