Finally got the car cleaned up with a few small mods!
So far I've added the red "K" badges, removed the Forte emblem and removed the plastic inserts on the wheels.

After seeing how good the wheels look, all black without the inserts, I am undecided as to what color to paint the calipers. I was going to paint them red, but now I might paint them black and change the red "K" badges to black, including the ones on the wheels. I want to paint the calipers because the galvanized color drives me crazy.

Next mods are window tint (appointment for next week) and install the HIDs when they arrive.

Let me know what you think! Smile

The wheel wells are dirty...I know. It's pointless to clean them right now because they are still building houses in my neighborhood and the roads are always muddy! Angry

I like red calipers.. i think black they wont poke out as extra work... just brakes.. but when you pull up next to someone with red calipers they immediatly catch the eye... in my case anyways...

I agree, red calipers definitely stand out. And with our cars they would stand out in the front and back.

Thanks guys! I think I will be sticking with the red badges and going with red calipers. I will be ordering a set of black K badges for the wheels...when I can find where to buy them. Lost the link! Huh

My next major mod was going to be wheels, but now I really like the looks of the stockers! Now, I think my next major mod will be this...

Does anyone sell the rear valance pre-cut...or would I have to cut mine?
