Well as you can see this is a 2004 Kia Amanti, with an H+R dropped suspension, 18 inch Drifz wheels, tinted windows 20%, Custom billet grille, Piaa plasma bulbs all, Custom stainless exhaust with Ractive tip, HKS short ram, and MTX 300 watt amp with Kicker L5 sub box, with sub control knob, and I just added some window Ventshades.

This is a photochop of what my Amanti will look like after we finish the custom body kit!!

These are photos of the CRD Amanti, and the Stage 1 Amanti. Eventually I will reinvent the Stage 2 Super Amanti.

And this is what I expect my engine to look like when finished, note that this is actually a 2.7 motor but it will be very similar to my 3.5

These are photos of the track test from Motortrend, notice the excessive body roll. This body roll will deminish with the H&R sport springs that I've installed, as well as the 18 inch wheels.Skettles's 2004 Kia Amanti Skettles's 2004 Kia Amanti

This is just a rough sketch of some graphics I designed, possibly for the car. What do you think???
