Ahhh as the days weeks and month's go by, the time i buy my forte is drawing closer. I am so looking forward to it.

I was thinking of getting the CF Hood from TK after I get it. Does anyone know what this will look like on a white koup? My imagination can only take me so far

Also, this will be my first new car. Any break in tips? On the kia website they say the break in period for their engines take roughly 1000kms. I heard just try not to rev it up much. anything else?

It has antenae on the front so it can feel the air flow and respond better...

ahhh that looks good. now i'm gonna wanna put the audi led details on the lights looks so good

What are those things on the hood? Almost looks like they're going into the engine compartment through the grill 0.o

They are hood pins. Most recommended when changing hoods especially with carbon fibre. They secure the hood in case of latch failure. The wire you see going through the grill is there to secure the pin.

I thought that a cf hood would look weird on a koup but it actually looks really good. I didn't pay too much attention to the hood but it looked great and seemed to be a good quality. I have been satisfied with my interactions with TK so far.

Did dvipercop use the insulation from the factory hood under that CF hood?

Oh! Aren't those on the Mustang in Kick-Ass? I've gotta say the mustang in that movie was by far the best looking one I've seen.

So get CF hood = Get hood pins? kinda sucks but i guess it kinda adds to the tunerish look of it(btw Tunerish is my word, no stealing) are they easy to install? cuz i was gonna get my friend to help me install the hood when i get it.

You don't need the cables for the pins, you can just use pins -- they are available as just locks too, also, some hood pins are made to be flush with the hood -- just have to shop around for what you want.. Just makes sense to use the hood pins in case the hood latch fails with fiberglass or CF hoods.

IMO this car would look good with the top blacked out too.
