[Neanderthal]

It's really not that bad a look.

Especially if you put chrome rings and caps on them. Look like state police cars from certain states.

i'm not trying to piss is anybodys wheaties but when i buy a car atleast partially for its looks, i want it to look good all year round. everyones priorities are different so i don't blame anyone for wanting to swap wheels during winter. but just sayin. i would feel funny driving my car dirty for a few days but bad wheels for a few months is definitely a no go for me lol

Speaking of winter, I guess I should've expected this but snow definitely gets stuck in here!

get those mud guards asap !!

Do the mud guards even help with that? I can see them helping with the stuff on the sides/skirts, but not the vents.

No , not the vents ( on on those make sure you spray the water from the from the back to the front to minimize paint damage )

Something must be wrong with my eyes because that actually looks okay. Maybe I'm just getting old. Or maybe it would look much worse in person.

Do they get a lot of snow in Orlando ......................................, a good Canadian winter would sort them out ! bawaaaaa

 

[moinmoin]

in Orlando

You are so right! It's easy to comment on something you don't need....

 

[moinmoin]

ot of snow

Now, let's brainstorm the vent intakes. Plug them or spray with PAM, RainX, RustCheck spray - what would be a good solution?

I'm all eyes and ears to learn what solution there will be for this...

 

[moinmoin]

what solution

Personally, I am looking to try a silicon plug combined with a spray. A spray bottle with windshield de-icer fluid would probably good to carry, if only to clean after a drive.
KIA should really come up with a solution - after all, they created the problem

Heated intake vents.

I'm not sure its a problem , unless youre travelling in snow/ice . In which case I think I would stuff the intakes with packing foam , its a pretty infrequent issue

Really ??

I'm not too worried down here in what sometimes feels like the core of the Earth - but I'm real curious to see what solutions people think of. It was definitely in issue for my cars when I lived in New York...

Really ??

Yup! He did it!
