I bought a 2010 Kia Forte Koup SX in March of 2010. This was a replacement for my 2008 Corolla that I hated and a big step up in terms of functionality, power, and overall pride of ownership. This was the first Kia I'd ever bought and it's a purchase I don't regret at all.

This is how it looked when I picked it up (not actual pics of the car since I, for whatever reason, don't have any on this PC):

In keeping with my tradition of lowering every car I touch, I dropped it on Eibach Pro-Kit springs in July of 2010:

That's how it sat for the rest of 2010. Aside from some rock chips, nothing really changed at all until....

That is getting installed over the weekend. Aside from an exhaust, that should conclude the mods for the car this year.

Thanks for reading!

Just waiting on an injector, as one of the ones I had was dead.

New exhaust one the way as well ;)

Progress...
