    I just got my 2015 optima a month ago and it was completely stock. I started with cheaper upgrades first. I put 15% window tint all the way around besides windshield, replaced the emblems with 3.0 k logos from k5 optima store as well as the k5 air valve stem caps. I just finished the last thing...
  2. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    So, after reading 3 threads I found a set of tails (pieced together) for 278.00, i bought 2 outer hybrid tails from a 13 hybrid ex, and the inner set for an sx new. From what i read the hybrid tails will work as a better lx upgrade, so Im wanting some clarification so I feel confident in my...

    When I get paid Friday I will be putting a down payment on a 2016 Optima Hybrid. It seems to be fully loaded, minus the sunroof. Whenever I buy a vehicle, I always find the forums for it, so can trouble shoot issues and see others cars. Only downside of the car is it is black, and it is summer...

    I own a 2013 EX Optima. Around 50k miles I noticed a clunking noise in my front end when going over certain terrain. Took it to my local mechanic (been using them for 8 years, solid guys) and they told me I needed new shocks/struts as well as a lower right ball joint. How many miles did you put...

    I'm car shopping for a Optima sxl 2015 black on black, only thing left to purchase is to find the best deal possible. We already decided this would be our next car as we are looking for a sport sedan with a great warranty as we keep our cars for 10 to 15 years. We were looking at vw jetta gli...

  15. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    So, I'll be trading in my 2012 SX this year. I stopped by the Kia dealer and checked out the 14's. I don't really like the rear lights and the "Turbo" on the sides (why would they do that?). Looking at other cars like the Fusion Titanium and Gen Coupe. Everything else is out because I require...
