Hey guys,
Back in May I was driving my Toyota Corolla (which I loved), when a drunk driver rear ended me. After 4 months of hospital visits with no car, fighting with the insurance companies, lawyers, etc. I finally got a new car! 2010 black Forte. 4 door because I have a little brother and 2 little sisters I'm always driving around. Black.
I never did anything with my Corolla because it was an older model (2003), and it was kinda a girly looking car. I put some tint on it but that was about it.
The Forte actually looks like a man's car, and I want to make her pretty. I'm planning on getting dark tint on it tomorrow, but after that I need some help. I want to put some better speakers in it, but I'm a complete idiot when it comes to buying them. My friend has 2 10"s in his car, not quite sure how much I should pay or have them installed for. Is it possible to install them with the stock radio or do I need to change the headset? I don't know how to put them in so I'm gonna have to do it professionally, any idea of how much they would cost to purchase the subs and have them installed??
I also want to get my tail lights tinted, and get some new rims. No idea what size rims I have now, no idea what's a good brand or how much a good price is for them. I saw some on this site earlier, red and black illusions I think they were called. About how much do they run?
Also, I've read that you can't hook up the ipods to the actual radio unless you have Kia's proper cable. I know some people got theirs for free- should I just walk into the dealership and ask for one? Or how should I go about that? I can buy it if I need to, but if there's a way to get it free I'd like to go that route =P
Sorry if these are silly questions guys, I'm just excited to be part of the Forte family. I've got a nice car now and I'd like to make it mine. Thanks for all the help!
