:welcome:Hey folks just thought I'd make a showroom to show my (mild) progression. I promised myself I'd wait at least one year before I'd let the mod bug bite me :laugh:
Anyway on to the pics!
So far they are minor/cheaper mods as I save for the larger ones such as wheels and the sort.
One of the first mods I did was this spoiler from Jayongmall since it was onsale for $150 I also got some of the revised 3.0 K badges while I was ordering.
KIA 2011 All new Optima Glass Wing Rear Spoiler
*EDIT because TINYPIC deleted the pic because the file name was FULL REAR!????
The second mod I did was a 4300k kit from Xenon Supply.
The kit I purchased is below but I had some issues with flickering and the lights not staying on. After contacting xenonsupply they sent me a new harness under warranty and the anti flicker capacitor for no charge. I had used a capacitor that I got from an electronics store to diagnose that it was an issue with current. So if you have similar issues I suggest the capacitor. This may have something to do with LX wiring or being that my car is a Korean built model from October 2010?
Kia Optima HID Kit | Xenon LightsAnti-Flicker Capacitor
HID Before:
(I still need an after shot sorry)
Next mod was an SX grille I picked up in the Classified section for $85 from OptimaTkeOvr11SX vs LX
And since I had a can of Plasti Dip laying around I decided to black out my OPTIMA badge
Prepping

Thanks for looking, I hope to add some more attractive bits and pieces soon eace:
