Aftermarket Optima parts anyone?

BargeCrew · 08-08-2008, 05:31 AM

So far I've seen only a few Kia sites dedicated to aftermarket parts. KFX just is'nt worth my time or money, another one catered to Hyundai mostly but Koreanautoimports.com looked the best thus far. I'm in search of a decent variety of 2nd generation Optima parts and have had a really hard time finding anything worth while. eBay is mostly cluttered with junk parts I refuse to throw my money away on so where are all the Korean parts at? I'm curious if anyone out there has bought any 2nd gen. optima parts from Korenautoimports and what there experience was like!? My recent boredom has brought this on and I'd like to get some decent quality parts from a reputable site (NOT KFX) !!

i got my intake and headers off of ebay brand new....they work perfectly and still running strong...i got a unichip piggy back ecu from the tiburon forums...that helped too ...and im gonna go custom turbo as well from my friend at F.A.T.racing...

I bought an intake in the past and found out the baffle and filter were not compatible with eachother so I sent it back. The K&N drop in filter is fine with me! Is your Optima 4cyl or 6cyl and how much did you spend on the headers/ecu chip? I'm tempted to buy the header's KFX offer's for $300 but their lack of customer service is holding me back. I'd like to chip my car for an added boost but know nothing about it, any pointers?

I think the better question would be...

Which engine do you have?

I've been looking for an CAI for my 01 optima for the longest time and I've found a few but I'm not 100% sure they will fit so I don't want to risk it.

Suggestions anyone?
