    Hey can you send me the replacement emblem for the steering wheel pics as you posted? I am not able to see them.
    Thanks

    I suggest getting the antenna cables from Hyundia. Those cables should be close to the same headunit connection and plug right into this Hyundia shark fin. Otherwise you would have to modify this shark fin to work with our Kia cables which are different.

    Still running fine. Great quality. I take it off during the winter months and you notice the change for sure. I just prefer driving it as stock with the -30 to -40C days.

    no, sorry. I have been away for awhile. my service advisor told me that doing so could actually void my warranty as it is not a "KIA approved" part. I know he fed me BS, but I have since had a couple mechanics confirm it's just noisy injectors under a plastic shroud. You probably are already masking it with a CAI and exhaust anyways :)

    Have to bring it back in when the roads are nice and dry. Tried showing the issue to a tech but car kept spinning instead of grabbing and causing the pop.

    Took off the CAI a week ago when the snow started falling. Noticing that popping noise more now and the jerking it causes with the loss of power shifting to second gear. It's getting very annoying. Sigh, gonna have to bring it in sometime this month.

    I grabbed the one elblem from a guy on ebay, had to ask him for one since he sold them in pairs. I am thinking of getting the new led version of it for around 75 from this place 3D KOUP emblem (LED) [#KOUP000012] : JuzKars ::, We provides Quality, Assurance and Reliable Services!!
    looks very cool.

    Your car looks pretty cool. Just curious about where you got the Koup emblems from and how much you paid for them. I've got the same racing red koup ex, so I'm looking for decals and other mods. Thanks

    249.00 USD plus 19.00 CAD Customs. Shipping was included because I tested the prototype model for the 2.0L engine. My video shows me installing the prototype. The finished retail version looks much sleeker and quality crafted.

    Just did my first long range highway drive since I bought my car. 700km to the next city and back to visit a relative. Fuel rating I got with my CAI is:
    95% highway driving at 115km/h cruise control.
    6.41Litres per 100kms or 36.7 mpg
    Kia rates the 2.0L with a 5 speed manual at 34mpg so the CAI might be giving me a slight bonus.

    I had a mod shop do the install on it once I seen where you have to drill through. Didn't want to risk messing that part up.

    There is a quicker response when you hit the accelerator and you can hear the quick sucking of air sounds kinda like a turbo a little when you do that. It's nicer for highway passing for sure. If you look at TurboKits dyno graph with the CAI you can see where the gains are.
