  1. Wheels, Tires and Suspension
    I was at work driving to a store I never been to and I couldn't find it, even when the GPS said I was there. I looked more and it was sort of tucked away in the back of the lot, so I quickly turned and it ended up being one of the one way cut outs to turn out of the lot, and there was a car...
  2. The Service Center
    Just wondering if anyone else is having the same problem i am with having tires replaced. I have had tires replaced three times now, the third set being because of a bad set of Toyo tires installed last month. Each time my wheels have been scratched and scraped by the installer (twice by my KIA...
  3. Hybrids
    Hello, I had tons of issues with my 2013 SXL and the steering wheel getting all scratched up. I have a new 2014 Hybrid and already see a scratch on the steering wheel, I've been really good about taking off my ring while driving as I initially thought that was the cause. I'm not sure how this...
  4. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    8 months in with my Optima and finally its first blemish. I gently hit a curb pulling out of a parking spot last night due to lack of room and a lot of traffic. It's pretty minor. I can probably live with it since only I would be able to point it out, but the fact that I know it's there bothers...
  5. Wheels, Tires and Suspension
    So after a brutal winter, I washed my car by hand. Look and see the rims look like sh*t, all scratched up. Now I do wash my car through pdq a good place in town and they have a soft brush low for wheels. They hardly look chrome anymore. Has anyone had this before. My buddy said the oem chrome...
  6. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    So, some dickhead was apparently so jealous of my car that he decided to key my rear window in one, roughly 16 x 8, spot. Anyone know of a way to get this buffed out if at all possible? Or do I really needed to get it replaced because of some moron?
  7. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    I was coming head on at a curb and then going to park along side it so when I turned to the right like I've done 1,000 times before on this same curb, I didn't turn soon enough because I was looking and laughing at someone else's parallel parking job and the side of my bumper and mostly the...
  8. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    :cry: I can't believe how reckless I was.... I changed a toilet in the house a few months back and this older Crane toilet was a 1 piece unit and far to large to fit into my car, so it sat in the garage in the way, and yesterday I decided it was time to load it into the car and throw it in the...
  9. The Detailing Corner

  10. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Went to an event yesterday and got my car back. Went home and was admiring the car when I noticed there was a scratch on my front bumper. I called the hotel immediately but they said the valet manager was out and to call back tomorrow. Piss me off man... looks like they backed a white car...
  11. Wheels, Tires and Suspension
    I finally decided to change out the Nexens on my SX. I told the installer that the pizza rims scratch extremely easily, I even said that they would scratch if you looked at them wrong. He said that I shouldnt worry, they wont scratch them. So I picked up my car today and noticed scratches...
  12. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    I had my Optima EX for a little over a week and the leather-wrapped wheel is already scratched and you can feel some of the leather strips. It may have been there or me or my wife may have cut it with our rings. Anyone else experience this?
  13. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
