alright, a quick update on my car: I'm sending in the Fitted Ultra racing bar back to UR so they can copy it and send me a manufactured one. I've also doing a custom rear sway bar in the next month or so

today i finished up the preliminary rear spectra5/cerato hb strut tower brace today and reassembled my interior. looking to buy a bug guard for the bonnet and some door window visors now. I also have two subwoofers on the way and figuring out how much to replace the lip kit on my car (now that i've had it off for awhile i'm starting to miss the original kit). loads and loads of mods on my list, not a lot of money to do them lol

I've decided to put everything back on, I'm going to wait to mod out my car until after college or until i have a second car to use as a daily driver. basically this entails me: finding Spec5 side skirts again replacing the dremeled out grille with an new OEM one(I'll be selling off the old one) fixing the exhaust rattle reinstalling the entire lip kit
but one of the things I'm thinking of doing is painting the Lip kit gloss black before reinstalling it and painting the rear spoiler and mirror brackets. I'm not happy about having to choose this but it's for the best (focusing on college and saving money for a house)I will still go to Midwest meets to the best of my abilities though

you guys sick of hearing this yet? today i reinstalled the rear valence onto my car. pain in the arse but its more secure than it was from the factory. tomarrow night I'm replacing front brake pads and planning how I'm going to paint the rear valence while its on the car. Pile of Ultra Racing parts are on their way to my house so i should have pics and reviews soon. Also new front grille is coming tomorrow! so the old dremeled out one is going to be for sale once I have the new grille on the car. lastly found some sideskirts that i will most likely be buying, used Spark blue ones. those will be painted off the car a gloss black just like the rear valence. i lied, i'm thinking of putting the front lip back on but everytime i look at the trenches carved in the bottom i change my mind. I might chop the center out of it and do something custom. custom VHT tinted tails, header/exhaust, and painted spoiler in the fall/winter

I got a question for u. Do u have aftermarket products like polyurethane bushings for ur ride over there? are you talking about the ones for your shifters and throttle cables, the ones for your engine mounts or ones to replace things like wheel bearings?

Everything! Over here in sunny singapore, we are struggling for aftermarket Kia products. Especially performance parts.

well, we get our parts from a few key places: kfxperformance.com/www.atelierhp.com/page/products.phpwww.kjbmotorsports.com/theres a ton of one part sites (sites that only provide one part for our specific car) that come up on Streetkiaz.com its the American/European kia tuning site i'm usually on (and regional leader of) LMF is over there too and its great hearing from you guys about your crazy exterior mods since we don't have a lot of body customizing shops

quick update on MNS5, I'm starting to paint the interior paneling, i have only a few done so far. I did have the "home depot" lip installed but lost it somewhere on my way to get screw to secure it down I've also got a few subaru parts on hand that are eventually going somewhere in the engine bay (my secret) and lastly i just ordered a 19.2mm Tiburon GT swaybar and bushings for the rear that will be here in two weeks. cheers

If I source around for the greendot swaybar, is it a direct installation or do I need other parts as well for the sway bar to fit?
