Need Help?

Posted on March 28, 2015 by k5os

Hey everyone. So with all these products that we have on the site, where needed we try and make sure that we have plenty of support for you and the product. One of the best ways to do this is by going to DIY Install page. Here you will find either links to an external DIY or our own DIY. Whether or not you use it is going to depend on your experience with installing aftermarket products. We always suggest looking at the DIY before you purchase so you can see whats involved. Is it something that you can do yourself by following the DIY or you might decide that taking your car to a professional installer to install the product. Either way, there are great tips in the DIY’s that are good to know so that you can trouble shoot any issues down the line. For example, when installing the HID conversion kit on the Kia Optima, did you know that you should not connect the ground wire to the negative side of the vehicle battery? This is a common practice on other vehicles and perfectly fine most of the time, but on the Optima there is a voltage sensor on the negative side of the battery and if you hook up any accessory to it, you will have a ton of electrical issues. Simple fix is just to ground the HID conversion kit to the frame or another ground point. With modding any vehicle, you will have a learning curve but the more you do it the better you will be and you get to know your vehicle even better. Having done most of the mods myself on my Optima, has helped me better understand my car and I can trouble shoot any issues since I did the install myself. There is a certain satisfaction in doing work on your own car also. As always if you still need help though you can always head to our Contact Us page and send us an email that way. Happy modding.

New Options For The Strut Bar

Posted on March 26, 2015 by k5os

So we were pretty excited to start selling the Ultra Racing Front Strut Tower Bar. Great product. Does wonders for your handling and being able to take corners with more confidence. This strut bar looks great in your engine bay also. It comes with a great white finish already but we just added a couple of great options in the color department. We now offer the strut bar in two more colors. For an additional cost you can get the bar powder coated in Candy Apple Red or Candy Blue. This isn’t paint. Powder coating not only adds a great looking finish but its very tough and durable. So now you can add a great splash of color to your engine bay. Happy modding.

We started off as strictly for the Kia Optima. Slowly we kept adding more and more products to our lineup. We started expanding to other vehicles in the KDM family and now we have grown to over 120 products on our site. That can make things a little hard to find on the site. Well not anymore. When you go to the site, you will see all our categories listed at the top. Right next to the “Home” button is a pull down menu named “Vehicle Type”. Here you can choose from the Kia Optima to the Hyundai Genesis to even the K900. All the products that are compatible with the vehicle you choose will be listed and easy to find. So head over to the site and check it out. Happy Modding.

We have put out several great products so far this year. From the CANBUS Control Module to new emblems. And we aren’t going to be stopping. There will be more products from great companies coming soon. In the meantime, if you see or find something that you really like but we do not have on the website, you can always contact us to see if we can source it. We work with many suppliers that might have just the mod or aftermarket product that you are looking for. Who knows, we might even put it on the website and start stocking it. So drop us an email and make sure to include what you are looking for including year make and model of your vehicle. Also include any options your vehicle has standard that might affect installation. We will get back to you within 24 hours. As always happy modding.

New Badges

Posted on February 25, 2015 by k5os

One of our biggest sellers are the 3.0 K badges we have. Many owners think the KIA badge is boring and swap them out. Nothing wrong with the KIA badge though, just some of us like to add a little flair and this is one of the first mods that many people do. Today we are excited to bring you some new color options. The 3.0 badges that we have had for a while now have are chrome with a color insert. These new ones have the chrome part blacked out. This is a great option for folks, like me, that are trying to de-chrome their car but still swap out their badges. In the past many folks have ordered the chrome badges and then painted or plastic-dipped the chrome. Well with these new ones you don’t have to worry about that. Check them out below and add a nice little touch to your new or old Kia. We have them available for many different models so we have you covered. Happy modding.

Just a quick reminder to check out our DIY section. Each product that has a DIY, usually has the link at the bottom of the product description, but we also put all the DIYs together on their own page. Makes it easy for you to find the specific DIY that you need. We try and get as much info to our customers as we can. Some are DIY’s put together by our customers while others are from the manufacturer themselves. Either way, much of the information on how to install our products is there for your viewing. Great place to see what it is involved with the installation and see if its something you can tackle or something you want to take to a professional shop. Either way the info is there for you to use. Modding can be a scary or worrisome at times but with the info on the DIY page, hopefully those concerns will disappear. As always though, you can just contact us with any additional questions. Happy modding.
