I wish someone would come out with the exact kia one or one more like it . I'm not a fan of that pocket. Looks like lego.
the Kia ones are more smooth, almost looks like it came that way unlike these

nice $$$ though. thats what Kia should sell them for or less

It doesn't flow with the car at all, and only takes away from the car's stock clean look.

They are not the worst looking but I personally don't like the seam or gap they create just behind the fogs below the headlights... if you know what I mean. The SXR ones at least create the seam that looks even with the crease just above the bottom of the door and just looks sharper.

I agree with you BLKSX, why would it not be more beneficial to create an almost exact replica of the SXR package for a fraction of the price? At least the outside body parts I mean. I bet most people on here would jump on that in no time. I need to figure out how to mold plastic. I have plenty of useless toys from years ago I could melt down... you know, all the original G.I. Joes and Transformers that are worth nothing
