MAkes you almost want to drive a FF baller

watcha gonna do about that front grill...its hideous

i dont think ive ever seen a kia as pimptastic as that

I like it...kinda

sweet renditions.  just curious as to why a bunch of rich saudis would get a kia over a mercedes?

You get paid to do this, I envy you Give me a break   They look pretty damn sweet for it being a Kia

Whats up Lorin. I like the look of the car but not feeling the Scaras for some reason on that application. Some full faced wheels would look better. Just my 2 cents.

congrats. you must send back information on how the saudis do those insane FF slides/spins on a straightaway.

Interesting...why 20?
Will they all be different or are they a fleet of clones?

looks pretty clean! just a new grill and VIPstyle here we go :thumbsup:

The front looks like a GTI.
Pretty Badass

I guess that would be a good way to sell an underdog car... Bring in a top tuner to turn it into a modded hotrod straight from the factory floor.

Cant wait to see the progress/results!

OMG that has to be the best looking KIA evar!!  

PS I'm kinda fellin' the grill.

+100 points if you post a video on Youtube of some crazy saudi doing a 360 spin in one of those Kia's on a highway at 100mph!

Yeah this is to bring the cars closer to a younger crowd.  NOT ALL PEOPLE IN SAUDI ARE FULL ON BALLERS, These will appeal to the middle class and they hope to take some of Honda's share with them.

I will be building one for each showroom they have and yes they will be Cookie cut.  I wanted to stay with kia parts but a grill change will probably happen.  Its one thing to put it on paper but to build it exact well some things never pan out.  They are also mulling over another with a suv so I might be gone for a while.

enjoy!

nice!!!

Wow... That Kia looks good...

Wow... I said that a Kia looks good... anyway... it must be heavy. Do they have a small 4 engine? I hope not cause it would be damn slow :eek:

the rear resembles the new 3 series coupe

Looks good! Sounds good for the Saudi's

So I have been here for a week and KIA gave me one of the show room floor.  It doesnt have the full option package but it has the 2.7l with the 5spd auto.  I have to say this thing ain't that bad at all.

SO I put a ton of miles on it and then I had it on the lift checking it out.  It has separate shock/ coils in the rear and the front struts look like there off a previa.  Huge massive things so offset is a must.  Anyways for the price and they are cheep you get what would be a corrola or a low end accord and have plenty to pimp one out.

I have had to change up the front from the pix because they don't have the ceede here.  And that's actually built in Russia somewhere.

So I just got done flogging the town in the Z man they just pull over and whip out the cell cam when that come bombing down the road.  I was having a piss with it I put the Hyper max BOV on it so when I would blow by the malls where all the ninja chicks shop I would boost up hard then let that thing scream.  Half of them jumped out of there veils. 

 I should have all the parts in by late next week to start Ill post up progress.

I have to admit I can't wait to see what these look like when you are done with them DXJP. I am a great admirer of your work and deffinately feel you are unappreciated when you post your how to's and step by step photos of your fab skills its something we know you don't need to do but honestly its a gift to some of us. Keep it up though if possible for us and all true automotive enthusiasts will be admiring your work no matter what you are modifying.
