Well I am taking the time to redo this so bare with me! I saw how nice others garages were and got myself motivated to start over!
Some of the photos might not be in order of when I did the modification but I will get it as close as possible...
Her she is a virgin, but not for long!
First modification was to support my friends racing team
The next modification I did was adding a Kenwood KVT715 with a navigation unit! since then the kvt-715 has been replaced with the DDX 7017. Photos will be in a later post! Also the Hide away unit is no longer need with the new kenwood. so all that is back there is the dvd drive for the navigation.
This first picture was just after I tried to move the unit to the ash tray area, unsuccessfully! I ended putting it back and adding a piece of wood to match the interior.
This is the Hideaway unit and the navigation unit hidden under the rear storage compartment!
Next up was adding Diamond plating to the rear storage compartment you see above... Inside Info for all of you, it was done to cover the holes I drilled the first time I installed the navigation and the hide away unit! After I drilled the holes, I realized that there was to many wires running under the plastic, making it almost impossible to sit flat!
I then decided to stick with the diamond plate theme I had going by doing the center counsel.
I also gave the running boards a shot at the diamond plate but turned out to be a hassle... cutting my leg when I got in!
I deleted that photo by accident so sorry nothing to show you!
After being told I must come to this site and read a bit, I came across some of you were debagging the logos on the back giving the Sorie that clean look. I had given it the thought well before coming here, but the motivation kicked in almost instantly. I am so against sponsorship that doesn’t pay... KIA doesn’t make the payments I DO!
Next up was the purchase of a new grill! At the time there were not to many billet grills on the market but the one I did find fit like crap. 4 hours of trimming it! I bought it from a website other than... www.customsorento.com and I paid the price! not to mention the you can see the center bracket and edges. i ended up painting the flat black which helped a lot.
Next up was adding a little BASS! A Kenwood 10" 200watt powered sub!
Next up was adding a place to crash in between shifts at my old job!
(Photo coming soon)((well not anymore)) no room with my new sounds...
