Here are some photoshops I did. I would love for the car to look like this.

1st picture I lowered it about 3/4", removed the front badge, made the front corner reflectors silver and removed the antenna.

2nd picture I just added the original concept rims. I like them a lot. The pictures had different colour lighting and perspective are a little off but I still like it.

The last one was just for funnsies. I removed all the seems so that it looks like the body is one piece. LOL... Not even a possibility.

Hope you guys like it.

I like the first one. I'm thinking about lowering mine but I don't pay enough attention while driving (speed bumps, pot holes, etc.) so I don't think this would be a good thing for me to do. LOL!

Here's an easy way to lower your car! Do what I did and add 60 of sound deadener, and 100 lbs of audio! Thankfully, the car looks properly lowered and not just sagging in the back. The stock posture helps this!

I definitely like the second one! And I am completely jealous of the color choice! I couldn't find a SX Titanium anywhere!!! Maybe paint the calipers black instead of red? Then heck yes!!!

Nice p-chop!

They werent just red. They are the Hyundai/KIA Brembos.
Also on that concept car was carbon fibre rear diffuser. There were some other goodies too

Even the rims on the concept were carbon fiber. See.

Wish there was someone at Kia I could bribe to get them. They probably got scrapped.

Not to mention, the silver parts on the rims weren't just plastic inserts.

Do you think that it would be possible?

OrangeCrush · 03-10-2010, 12:58 AM

Possible=YES, Affordable=NO... I'd bet they would cost at least 300-400 or even more per rim and idk about you but they would strictly go on at shows and never see the road...

My last post didnt show the image I uploaded. LOL. I was thinking of carbon fiber vinyl on the stock rims. I am not talking about the ghetto looking cheap vinyl. I am talking about this stuff.

I know I would never try it... but if it could be done I would pay someone to do it.. I loved the concept rims and the closer I could get mine to it the better

gripphard · 03-10-2010, 08:11 PM

you could try carbon fibre dipping.

or, if you have done fibreglass, try carbon fibre fibre glass. but from what i read back in 2008 is that its not ideal for wheels due to flex. That being said there were some wheel shops testing carbon/kevlar. i dont rem the outcome.
