I'd host it on photobucket, but it just took soooo long to upload. But I suppose I could give it a shot, haha. And as for mak, do you have any closer pictures of your front end? I'd like to see it a little closer if possible, thanks!

Okay, so I've done a few more mods, such as new wheels
 I put a new supra-style spoiler on. Also, i got a new bumper, a new fender, and a new high beam light! it's before I painted it, and the bumper didn't quite make it in the pic!  Now I'm faced with a tough decision... I just sold my brother's car, and in return I'm fairly sure he's going to pay for a paint job for the celi. It's just going to be done at econo paint, and before I get negative criticism, My brother has been going to these guys for years; I know what job they do, etc. So now I'm faced with that decision.... What color should I get her painted? I'm leaning towards orange; it looks so damn sexy on these cars. On the other hand, blue is softer and easier on the eyes, and also not much of a cop attractor compared to orange. Give me some feedback 6gc!

I did metrolina expo about a week before August 19th, so maybe the twelfth or something like that. I'd go to the drift event, but I'm so broke. As for the Columbia thing, I'm totally down man, just give me a shout! 803.834.1144; I have texting and all that goodness.

White is always a winrar on our cars, and it would be easy enough to DIY spray the door jambs, under the hood, etc.

So even though I posted that poll, I'm still going with orange. I figured that all along, just wanted opinions. Kia 09 is the paint code. Sunset Orange Pearl?
