BUILDING A KIA l Mod List

[@Yo_Prezzy]

Great video man @DARKRISE I appreciate the time and patience you did on this video. A lot of people would be hesitant on sharing their built. Awesome job.

[@DARKRISE]

Thankyou so much!! That means alot! Im hlad you enjoyed and for supporting 🖤 comments like yours keep me going 🙏Here to help

[@monzter6064]

[@carloscollazo3417]

This is the first time that I actually love a Kia, that’s a clean kia

[@DARKRISE]

Thankyou so much fam!🖤

[@GoogLiit]

Seen your car one day on YT and fell in love with it.. I had to buy one.. well I bought the SX Turbo not the SXL because there were none for sell at the time I was looking locally.. glad you made this video I'm going to run an identical build just different colors and wheels.. but overall I'm going the route you went.

[@DARKRISE]

Hello Fam! And Thankyou for watching the channel! Cant wait to see how it comes out!

[@BC2FITTY]

Ive always seen kia stingers modified even a kia forte tbh lol but ive never seen a kia optima like this especially in person not even one with mods ! , anyways clean build brotha ! 🤙🏼🔥 i like the unique look it has !

[@DARKRISE]

Thankyou so much for the kind words!! Means alot and Thankyou for watching n Supporting!🙏🖤

[@stevenspring9889]

Forte GT modding has become pretty popular which makes sense since its a Korean Civic SI. I also see quite a few stingers heavily modded. The optima is also a new one for me, but its slick as hell.

[@josephmenna3985]

Such an unbelievably unique Kia

[@DARKRISE]

Thankyou so much for that!!🖤🖤

I have a question. Not about the video. But my kia has an oil leak in the back of the engine. On the passenger side. And I know there is a recall in the 2013 2.0 engine. Would that possibly be covered by kia due to the recall ? Would anyone know ?

[@DARKRISE]

It would be a gasket issue but you can try take it to the dealer ship, they might cover it

[@lohostege]

It's amazing how much money you spent on this car, it's worth more than the K900 basically. Still, the look you turned it into is very rad. Hopefully I can make the car I'm going to have (Hopefully a Forte5 SX) look as good as this.
