I am having the windows tinted (35% all around except the windshield) this Friday.
I'm also planning on getting the WeatherTech all-weather floor mats before it starts snowing here so hopefully they come out by then. This will enable me to keep the carpeted floor mats clean of salt and dirt during the winter months.
The car comes with so much standard there isn't much to add.
i wish i could tint 35% all the way around. tinting laws that vary by state are quite ridiculous! perhaps an hid headlight conversion kit, not that the stock headlights are lacking, i just find hids to be especially useful during the winter months and for sighting the occasional deer roaming about at night. oh, and some new wheels/tires; 195/65/15 is just too small to look good on such a great looking car.
TJ are those floor mats an exact fit/replacement of the stock carpet ones? Where are you getting them, im running out of time before winter hits and have been looking all over for some that fit right
They all-season floor mats (exact fit ones) aren't available yet however I am hopeful they will be out before winter.
I thought about checking the Elantra floor mats since the cars are similar.
I've already tinted the windows and put on my snow tires (on the stock rims). I replaced my key with the switchblade style key (Ebay $20 free shipping) but still plan on doing a few more things to my car.
I will get new summer rims, probably a black or dark grey to go with the Titanium body color. I'm also interested in getting the auto-down windows that will allow you to open all 4 windows from the remote and they also will automatically roll your windows up or down with a tap of the button. Possibly the auto folding side mirrors too.
Otherwise, I'm loving the car and all of the features that come on the Forte SX already!
For the sedan the cargo tray is a nice addition...I also have the cargo nets in both my sedan and Koup. For US owners the splash guards add to the appearance -- I have them on both too. Can't beat the new Kia sedan spoiler -- that's a real nice addition.

Getting windows tinted tomorrow. 35% in the rears and thinking 50% for driver and pass windows. I'm thinking 35% in the fronts will make me uncomfortable driving at night? I once drove a loaner car a few years back that had dark tints on driver window and I thought it was difficult at times to see things at night.
