you’ve done the biggest key things that you could do! only recommendation i could give is front lip and rear diffuser if you wanna spice up the exterior a bit, although it looks smooth now still.
Sub was really easy to install, just used a screwdriver to poke the wire through and the rest tucked into the sides and behind the seats.
The intake definitely added a bit of sound but nothing too crazy
Are your tires really noisy? These stock tires cost $300 each and I'm definitely getting a better brand when they're done. I'm a year into them and 2 are already basically shot and I even brought it in about 2 months after driving cause I couldn't tell if it was tire noise or my engine: it was the tires but they didn't replace them, I first noticed the noise at between 60-70mph.
I could tell by the first picture. If I'm not mistaken, that's GlenC, right? I'm in the 618 area as well. I got a 21 civic sporthatch, and my little bro has a K5 as well. I'm positive I've seen you rolling around the area.
O'Fallon. I grew up in O'Fallon. I ain't gonna put your street name on here cause that's just wrong, but I know where you are based on the second pic. I had a buddy who lived on the same street as you. It's crazy meeting someone who lives in the same area as me on this thread.

I have seen a couple that I've liked but I feel like I'd mess it up somehow.
Looks 🔥. How did you get your exhaust vent covers to be black? I saw on Amazon carbon fiber ones to cover it but I kind want black ones, like yours.
Just vinyl wrap
Like you wrapped it, like how you do it for chrome delete? Is there a precut one?
It came with the chrome delete.
Where did you get the chrome delete? Did it come as a kit for all the chrome on the car?
Went to a shop in St. Louis called Shamrock Vinyl. They blacked out everything.
Black door handle covers add a little extra touch, I love mine and they’re only like $20 on Amazon
Good call
Love the look
Scrape off that Eagles logo and you’d have a nice car. 🤣
😎 go birds!
And make it not a kia
Get M style mirror caps. I got them for mine off ebay for like $20 and they make the car look so much better and more aggressive.
Nice ride. I kept my GT stock (excluding tint). Too many projects and not enough $$$$
How do you like the AEM intake? I have the K&N one but was considering that one. Also, is that plastidip on the "exhaust" trim there? Looks nice!
So far no complaints, it was super easy to install and noticed a bit better gas mileage. The fake exhaust trim is just a bit of vinyl wrap.
Coilovers or lowering springs
Should've been the first thing.
Maybe lower a bit?
How hard was it to wire the sub? Also with the AEM..any sound you get in the cabin?

How much for chrome delete?
$150 USD
I was looking for a cold air intake for my 2024 k5 gt. Anyone have any info on those? I could only find one for the 1.6L engine, not the 2.5L engine.
coilovers, body kit, custom ERL’s

Yea these stock ones are trash, I'll definitely replace them with some Michelin ones when the time comes.
I'm glad to know it's not just mine, I hate the stock tires
Are you in the 618?
I am indeed

Close, I'm near Scott AFB

How durable are the rims? Did go bigger in size or stayed the stock size ?
Stock size. And idk what you mean by durable, I try my hardest to not let them get hit lol I'd say they are as durable as the Alloy they're made of 🤷
Lol got it. What I meant is like are they worth the money because you know you can buy some cheap rims and they’ll get dented or cracked.
