HERE IS MY 2005 KIA SPECTRA 5. I'VE DONE THE USUAL MODS LIKE REMOVING THE GRILL EMBLEM,PAINTED THE HOOD CHROME TRIM RED,CLEARED THE HEADLIGHTS, AND UPGRADED THE HEADLIGHT BULBS TO H.I.D.(6000k) FROM maxcar R.I ALSO ADDED YELLOW PROTECTION FILM TO MY LOWER FOG LIGHTS FROM METRODECALS.COM TO MAKE THEM TRUE FOG LIGHTS.THE REAR TURN SIGNAL BULBS ARE REPLACED W/SYLVANIA SILVERSTAR 1156A ST.I ALSO REPLACED THE TAILLIGHT BULBS WITH A HIGH INTENSITY RED L.E.D. BULB KIT.
THIS IS THE PHOTO OF THE maxcar R 6000K H.I.D. KIT....HUGE DIFFERENCE FROM HALOGEN BULBS!!!
HERE ARE PHOTOS OF THE REAR L.E.D. TAILLIGHT BULBS.
THE WHEELS ARE 17X7 RIAX SECA W/FALKEN ZIEX 912 215/40/17.WINDOW TINT IS ZIEBART'S QUANTUM REFLECTIVE FILM.PAINT ALSO RECIEVED ZIEBART'S DIAMOND GLOSS PAINT PROTECTION.HIGHLY RECOMEMDED.NO MORE WAXING,SHOW CAR SHINE,PROTECTS AGAINST MOST ELEMENTS!!IT'S A HARD RESIN COATING NOT A SOFT POLYMER SEALANT LIKE MOST OUT THERE.IT ACTUALLY STRENGTHENS THE FACTORY CLEARCOAT!!!
HERE IS MY CURRENT AUDIO SYSTEM.IT CONSIST OF AN ALPINE CDA9827 HEADUNIT WITH XM SATELLITE RADIO,INFINITY 6000CS COMPONENT SET FOR FRONT(REQUIRES SPACING AND MODIFCATION TO FIT), ALPINE SPR-17C 6 1/2 2WAY COAXIAL FOR THE REAR AND AN ALPINE MRP-F300 4 CHANNEL AMP FOR HIGHS AND MIDS.THE SUB WOOFER IS THE JL AUDIO 12w3v3-2(2ohm SINGLE VOIL COIL)WITH AN ALPINE MRP-M450 MONO BLOCK AMP AND TSUNAMI WIRING AND CAP.USED SINGLE SUB SO I CAN STILL USE SOME OF THE SPACE IN THE REAR.ALL OF THE INSTALLATION WAS DONE BY MYSELF.YOU CAN ALSO CHECK ME OUT @ THE ALPINE UNDERGROUND GARAGE:

SO I DECIDED TO MAKE MY OWN COLD AIR INTAKE.IT USES STOCK PARTS EXCEPT FOR AIR TUBE BETWEEN MAF SENSOR AND THE THROTTLE BODY.USED A CUT DOWN UNIVERSAL CAI CHROME TUBE.IN YOUR AIR BOX IS A HORN.YOU'LL HAVE TO CUT DOWN AND GRIND OUTSIDE DIA.OF TUBE TO GET IT TO FIT FLUSH IN THE AIRBOX LID.USED K&N FILTER.PART # IS LISTED.I ALSO GOT RID OF THE BIG ,HUGE,AIR ROBBING
BOX IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE FENDER AS WELL.
BY THE WAY YOU CAN BUY AN ACTUAL COLD AIR KIT FOR THIS CAR FROM KFX PERFORMANCE AT WWW.KFXPERFORMANCE.COM
I ALSO INSTALLED A DYNOMAX HIGH PERFORMCE MUFFLER IN THE STOCK LOCATION.BY LOOKING,YOU CAN'T EVEN TELL I HAVE AN AFTERMARKET MUFFLER UNTIL I START THE CAR.IT SOUNDS PERFECT,NOTHING REAL RASPY AND NICE TUNED SOUND AND VERY LOW INTERIOR NOISE.
