  • Something not the norm here. 2017 Kia Fort5 SX

    Yeah, I bought a Kia...at least it's a turbo. There weren't any plans other than keeping it stock because according to my ex, I "ruin everything I have" because I lower it. She had a point so I just wanted tint and to drive and enjoy it. Haven't done all that much to it so far other than said tint, lower it on some Eibach pros, muffler delete, wheels, lip and side splitters. Hope you guys enjoy.

    The day I got it.

    Few weeks later I had the springs installed.

    Went cheap/ghetto and cut the muffler off but left the resonator. Has a nice burble to it.

    Then traded wheels with a guy with the pre-facelift model.

    Then ordered my wheels. 18x8.5" et35. They're a little "pokey" but they work on the car I believe.

      I love the wheels. Arches look like they could use one hell of a roll and pull though.

        Looks great! Maybe do a vinyl wrap chrome delete for the door handles to make them pop.

              They've been rolled and pulled now. Not without some paint casualties before so, lol. I have new, smaller tires that will be installed later today. Thanks for the compliment though.

                      Wheels look good and I think they're the right size!
                      I'm pretty much impressed how looks good with only springs

                        I appreciate it.

                        So...at this point I have new tires. Put 215/35/18 on the wheel...it's way too small in the rear, like it looks like stock height at this point, lol. Guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and get coilovers or cut a little bit of the rear spring. I'd be good with say 3/4" drop. The front fits good to me. Plus, I need to get all fender lips repainted because I'm dumb.

                          Nice progress so far! I really like the way the car sits, looks like a touring car or something

                          Keep it up!

                              Interesting you say that. That's kinda the look I am going for.
