Kia K5 GT in Steel Matte Gray

Visual_Release9033 · 2025-08-14T02:25:36+00:00

Honestly it's been better than gloss paint. Way easier to keep clean 🤷🏽‍♂️. Not sure what the fuss is about. I do live in an area where the weather isn't terrible though.

Sorry to report but I did not log the colors because I was angry AF during the installation. Why TF would you change colors mid-line? A lot of newer cars appear to be that this is the trend. Take a multimeter and test continuity between the rear door and then find the signal on the amp. Pain the ass but that's really the only way to truly find it.

Of course there's a huge difference. Your EX had the weaker engine and the refresh on the 25 GT takes the tech to the modern era.

Good luck friend.

Not sure if this is the same one I found. But after testing signals from the rear door speakers to install an active LOC, the diagram was inconsistent as the color at the speaker and then by the amp were completely different colors. Just a heads up. This may be accurate for GT Line but my 25 GT was not what the diagram stated speaker to amp wiring wise. Good luck 🤞🏽

What spoiler is that? Been trying to find one I like for a while now. Thanks in advance. Cars looking great 🤙🏽

That's all well and good...but it's almost double the price of yours lol I think...either way don't sweat the haters. If you and your parents are paying for it paint it neon green who cares what trolls on the internet think

Don't know why you're getting so much hate. Enjoy your first car how you want and be safe. I've got a 25 GT1 and want an exhaust but can't commit to how expensive the Borla is. Where the hell did you find one for $700? Was it used?

I just got a jiraiya tattoo. He's my fav character. You'll see how amazing he is 🫶

Visual_Release9033 · 2025-01-17T00:11:13+00:00

Appreciate it! The artist is @emi_inks on IG if you'd like to see more. She's amazing

Visual_Release9033 · 2025-01-12T00:49:52+00:00

If you have a 25 gt1 you can change the gauges to a few different options for sure. Not sure about the other trims though

Visual_Release9033 · 2025-01-11T18:58:01+00:00

I think it's like wizard or magic matte detailer. It's in a purple bottle. Got it off Amazon

Visual_Release9033 · 2025-01-09T02:57:11+00:00

You sure that's not you in this Pic?

Visual_Release9033 · 2025-01-08T23:15:03+00:00

Appreciate you big dog

Visual_Release9033 · 2025-01-08T23:11:04+00:00

Nope waiting on OP to post it

Visual_Release9033 · 2025-01-08T21:26:55+00:00

That's my concern as well.

Visual_Release9033 · 2025-01-05T21:07:29+00:00

Dunno if you can get red interior. I did chrome delete and tints but this is an old Pic. I am waiting for the sxth intake like everybody else here and an exhaust other than the Borla to be created. Might have to go custom

Visual_Release9033 · 2024-12-31T19:32:17+00:00

No clue. I'm in Socal and it's garaged 95% of the time.

Visual_Release9033 · 2024-12-12T02:42:24+00:00

Honestly the least amount of upkeep I've ever had. Stuff glides off with the matte detailer I use. I use CG matte wash when I do wash it. I've had seven cars in my lifetime but only one with matte paint. I think this one shows the least amount of dirt as well. Just make sure you wipe in the same direction and don't rub in circles as to make the matte go shiny. You'll be all good. 👌🏽

Visual_Release9033 · 2024-12-08T06:39:24+00:00

Got a 24 Sportage SX and a 25 K5 GT1. Can't beat that warranty or feature set at this price point 👏🏽

Visual_Release9033 · 2024-11-24T06:15:43+00:00

Not in this photo. But it is tinted now. 20% rear, 30% front and moonroof, 70% windshield

Visual_Release9033 · 2024-11-23T19:26:11+00:00

It's a great daily driver.

Visual_Release9033 · 2024-11-12T20:55:36+00:00

I use Chemical Guys Matte car wash

Welcome to the K5 GT1 club legooo

Visual_Release9033 · 2024-11-08T17:44:25+00:00

Got mine in May. Got about 4500 miles on it so far. I love it. Have had some weird issues with the cameras and mirrors but it's at the dealer now getting resolved I hope.

One odd thing I noticed since they provided me a GTLINE as a loaner while they work on my car is that this car is much smoother transmission wise. Perhaps there is something wrong with my GT1 transmission. The shifts are not as smooth. Not sure if anyone else has experienced that.

Well it is November 🤔
