  2. The Dealership
    Hello Everyone, So after a long drive on the freeway I parked at a store and noticed my shark fin antenna cover was completely missing.

  5. The Detailing Corner
    Hey guys! Was playing around with plasti dip last night, and got a little impatient when taping off. Got some real fine misted overspray, and removed with Goo Gone. This morning took the car out in the sun, and noticed some hazy blotches (Black car). Can I just clay bar it off? Or what else...

    Got rid of all the chrome accents, used plasti dip and carbon fiber vinyl. First time wrapping and it went pretty well. I have seen people wrap/plasti dip the whole chrome accent over the doors/rear panel all black, so decided to try something different and wrapped the rear piece with carbon...

  9. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    After nearly two years with my optima and on this forum, its time for a change. I recently got a new job in construction, and the optima wasn't cutting it. Its great for driving on roads, but when I'm driving on dirt, it was too low to the ground and too many potholes. So I went to my kia...

    I couldn't deal with it any more - the Veloster that is. Not that it was a bad car, it wasn't. But boy was it gutless, and hard to see out of too. It's a sporty looking car with the sport. Maybe because I came from Audi's and Porsche's and a few other fast cars (Mitsubishi Mirage Turbo). If...

    So, I debadged the Optima off of my SX today and I still see Optima in the metal work. It seems that the Optima was place on the car so hard that it dented the metal to where it continually shows. Has anyone else had this problem? Any solutions?

  16. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    I have had a lot of weird issues with my car. I am also lucky enough not to have experienced a lot of issues that others are facing. Overall, a lot more has gone wrong than I really would have liked. I had a new Chysler product for a similar period of time, and a lot less went wrong with that...
