Default Changes to the Forte over time :)
So I haven't really posted anything up on what I have done to my forte really except just new pic albums lol. I have had the car since March '10 and slowly been making some mod changes . Time to show you guys . I have plenty of mods I want to do coming soon just need to save up lol.

Before window tint...


... after (5% rear/quarter, 20% front)


Before tinting taillights...


... After


Before Eibach Pro-Kit Suspension...


... After


This was one of my biggest projects (might be one of the only spicy red EX with SX front grill/fogs )
Before...


After...


Before...


After...


After with mirror covers...


After with HID systems in low beams/fogs and LED strip...






My new wheels came in (1/19/12)


After with wheels on...


Here is the car to date (1/24/12) ...

i took them to a toyota body shop where I had the car worked on for my minor accident and they tinted them. It is not a film but more-or-less paint

I like the setup of the before and after shots. You have done some nice work. Definitely think that out cars look best clean like you have done with yours. A little bit goes a long way :-)
