I just have to ask, how many of those stickers can one put on one car? What is the limit? Or have they discovered it yet?

I've also heard adding aluminum sports pedals adds like 10hp. That's why KIA put them in the sx models, gives them that extra edge, ya know?

Don't forget the K badges. K badges add 2 HP each. Rebadge the grills, trunk, steering wheel and wheels and you're looking at a net gain of 14HP!
