Going to get my Kia K5 Optima soon and looking forward to do modification to reduce the outside sound especially engine compartment. But just want to ask that will the installation of the material make the original cover feel "loose" or not "tight" like ori and will void any warranty boh?

Any advise or suggestion? If better, can give rough estimation of the price. Will bring my car over as soon I got it from agent.

Oh ya. Will be coming with a friend of mine that looking for the same things as mine. He is driving a Lancer GT.

Been hearing good things and looking forward to see you guys.

Thanks.

That's a nice car bro... I would recommend you hold on to any modifications for a couple of weeks so you can get used to the characteristics and dynamics of your new car. That way, you can really tell and appreciate what are the improvements made by Desmond and team.

So far Desmond and team have put everything back on my car as good as original. They're meticulous and normally any flaws are drawn to your attention/photographed before they do any dismantling...
