    Hello all, been lurking a while now preparing for all I can with performance upgrades for my 2015 Kia Optima SX Turbo. I have a few questions, bear with me as I'm still new to this scene. 1.

The contacts are already in the system, but the past few days every time I get in the car I see the contact download start and hear the audio message go off.

I wanted to show you guys the after crash and post repair pics, but more importantly the detailed parts list with prices which i think might interest some of the more hardcore. Total cost...
