Probably won’t get an answer since this forum is so old but can’t find it anywhere else. Did you bake the headlight in order to remove the amber reflector? I want to do it to my 2020 forte lxs but im mostly worried about making a mess with the melted glue.
dude had suspension issues where they removed his warranty, he got mad and sold his forte. My last read I believe he is long gone.

Wow! That's the nicest one I've seen.
 
Upgraded to 20" Avant Garde wheels. Although I'm not entirely sure I like them.

I LOVE the look of those wheels but I think yes they might be a little bit too big. I'm looking at the same wheels myself as they're the same wheels that were put on the 2020 Hatch show car made as a one off by Kia. I'm thinking I go 19 inch instead of 20 inch though. What are the wheel specs on your previous set of wheels? I've already got the same suspension set-up on the way so it should fit just as well as yours does. Absolutely love the car and it's great to see people modding these cars. Thanks.
