Sorry I haven't posted in here for a little bit now... but here is an update! installed dual tone sick speed horns and a DND Coilover shift knob (install video will be out soon)

Alos took the Rio to CSCS Round 1 Show n Shine where I placed 1st best in class Kia! It was an awesome day of show cars, drifting and track!

Dropped the ass end down more today and leveled out the suspension. Took out the rear collars and perches from the coils, love how it's sitting now! No more face down ass up look!

I love my wheel setup still, only been running them for 4 months!! Eventually I will be doing true side lip extensions a rear diffuser and a spoiler yes!

Thinking these Korean version headlights are going to be my next purchase for the Rio! Does anyone know if they will be plug n play or will I have to do some rewiring?!

Hey guys here are some recent shots and I did a little work on the Rio over the weekend. Rear seat delete, false floor wrapped in black fabric and an amp rack in the spare wheel well. Looks clean AF. Also working on rear window vents!

Sorry for the late reply but I have yet to take my bumper off but I would imagine that its just a bunch of little clips and maybe a few screws holding it in place the same as other bumpers that I have removed. I wish i could send you pics and help you out more but nothing I have done has required removal of the bumper yet. Sorry. YouTube might have a video on it!

Sorry, been a while since I have posted... busy summer and car season! Dropped an updated picture below, make sure to check it out! Car will be going away in about a month for the winter season, where I will be making changes to the car both on the exterior and performance side! I will be posting up a full modification list of where the car is currently and progress pics of it over the winter! If you have any questions feel free to ask I will get back to you as soon as I can!

Wow.. it has been sometime since I have posted in here. Sorry for the lack of updates that is my bad. The Rio is now put in storage for the winter but before that happened it was re wrapped a new color. Also while its in hibernation i will be doing brake upgrades, lowering it more, and possibly a spoiler just have not decided on which one. I also have a link on possible throttle body spacers for the 1.6 platform just waiting on confirmation of fitment. Once I know for sure I will link it for you all! Also as some of you may know I was driving a 2002 toyota corolla for daily use. Well I have now parted ways with the corolla and got a 2018 Kia Rio Lx + for daily use. Pick up is this Tuesday!

I have attached some newer photos, and linked my reaction video to the new wrap.

I hope everyone has an awesome Christmas!
Cheers!

Time for another update and announcement!!!

I have done a few things to the Rio since I last posted, such as, DBC Drilled Rotors front and back and I also ordered a spoiler extension. There are a few more things that will be coming soon also, performance pads, stainless steal brake lines, throttle body spacer, front canards, side lip splitters and hoping to get a custom rear diffuser done as well.

Now time for the announcement, the Rio will be on display at the 2018 Canadian International Auto show at the Performance Auto and Sound booth as part of a competition that I am in. The CIAS is Feb 16-25.

If you plan on attending make sure to stop by and say hello, I should be there most of the time!

I also hope that I can count on the support of the Rio Community to help me advance within the competition. Details to follow!
