    Kia TSB 58 (2012): Services (e.g. Fuel induction cleaning) not recommended by Kia My 2013 Optima LX just reached 50k miles. I don't have a catch can. I only use Top-Tier gas.

I started off as a member here on the forum back in December of 2011 under the name "Sick Bmw" when I first bought my 2012 Kia Optima SX. After 1 year of being active on the forums & seeing the lack of...

    Hey everyone - I was killing some time on eBay this evening, and came across a new grill that I like. Can't quite tell who the mftr is, but it appears to be a DTG Euro grille, and I liked the way it kind of mimicked the curvature of the headlights (not digging the chrome strips tho). I ran a...
