yup - that's them...

 

[shattered.stars]

Sweet. So what kind of mods are you considering?

 

[sticklorat]

have to start small... just having bought it (and it was a little bit of an impulse buy), Christmas etc and just came back from vacation... also still trying to find some ideas on this site... headlights and emblems, exhaust system eventually and i NEED to do something about the horn - i like the stock rims but yours look awesome

quick pics

just took 2 with phone in the garage... too much running around...

Well it sounds like you got a good list started. If you're thinking exhaust long term then you may want to consider a cold air intake in the short term.

I'm not sure where you are located but if you want to meet up I would love the chance to check out all the little differences the '11 has compared to my '10.

i am in Henderson - I76 and 104th, less than 20min from downtown... and sure ,we can meet up - i am really surprised to not see more Koups around..

 

[shattered.stars]

I work downtown so after work one day would be perfect.

Yeah, I've only seen one other Koup in the eight months that I've had mine. I see a sedan every other day though.

i work close to the airport and typically get off around 5.00 - sure we can work that out - happy holidays btw

 

[shattered.stars]

happy holidays btw

Thanks! You too.

 

[sticklorat]

you are spending way to much time in front of your computer... are you working next week or do you want to schedule something for next year?

 

[shattered.stars]

I won't deny that I spend too much time on this particular forum. I'm still trying to get over a cold so lets say early next year. Any weekday works for me.

 

[sticklorat]

get well - i will be around downtown noonish on the 4th... but any other day will work as well...

 

[shattered.stars]

I don't know how much time you have to spare on the 4th but I'll be there that day.

 

[sticklorat]

i should have an hour or so - have to find out the exact times... and i saw a white '10 ex koup today, 104th and Colorado

 

[dudzhackit]

Haven't been around much the deal didn't work out but we still have our car meets in the spring and summer. Friday nights in Federal Heights 92nd and Federal at the sonic. Sundays 225 and Tamarac. I am rolling a 03 tib still but Hopefully by end of April i'll be in a new forte Koup.

 

[sticklorat]

rebadged...

you were right - removing the KIA emblems is driving people nuts - waiting for my sharkfin now

 

[shattered.stars]

Its cool for a while but eventually you'll get tired of saying "Its a Kia".

 

[sticklorat]

what do you think - will either work with my rims?

KIA FORTE KOUP(CERATO KOUP) 2010 WHEEL CENTER CAPS - eBay (item 280606717921 end time Feb-18-11 22:53:12 PST)

or

KIA Forte Koup 2010 Cerao Koup Carbon WHEEL CENTER CAPS - eBay (item 290452282998 end time Feb-02-11 18:17:23 PST)

Hmm, both black. I had the "Koup" emblems before I sold my stock wheels. I liked them alot but there is no denying that they are black. Maybe the carbon fiber would match the gunmetal better because it will look that color from certain angles...not sure though.

I think I'm leaning toward the Koup ones. That way if they don't match perfectly you can still justifying them.

 

[sticklorat]

just can't make up my mind - leave it alone or not... on the Koup emblems - it looks like the lettering is somewhat more gray than silver, can you confirm that? i just can't find anything that is not black/chrome... :-(
