Meet Jackzz from Singapore, the owner of great looking Kia Rio. He has answered a few questions about modifiying his ride. Also check those awesome images and share with us your thoughts on his beautiful car.
How long have you owned your Rio?
3yrs
Honestly, what was your intention when you bought your Rio?
For transportation, travel to and from work for me and my wife
also for groceries shopping and family outing day.
In a few words, describe the style of your Rio?
To me my Rio is my reflection, aggressive,sporty yet nice and
tenderly loving family man.
- What do you like the most about Rio?
Actually when i bought my Rio,mostly was the price which is
cheaper than other makes and model…But soon after i
realized that the shape of the car,the space for all passenger,
the interior,and on top of that the head unit which can play
DVD and it’s by Sony.And on top of that i ever squeeze 6 of my
friend in the Rio.
- Is there anything you don’t like about it?
Currently i got nothing that i dislike about this Rio.
What is it that makes your Rio look unique?
The Bodykit that i install, it’s a mix and match,by BMW,Honda
and Hyundai.
What accessories have you installed so far?
I put in:
- Simota open pod filter
- a breather filter
- Raizin VS
- Power Pass
- Fiamm hornVoltage and Vacuum gauges
- a 6.5′ monitor
- 7′ roof monitor and ICE.
What’s next?
Maybe a change of colour for my car, crack pulley, a better horn
cold air intake…etc.
Who helped modify your Rio?
I did most of it on my on except some that i need help
from friends.
- How would you rate your car; on a scale from 1 to 10?
6
- How would you pimp your ride if you had no limits?
Rims from 15′ to 17′ with low profile tyres, change the interior
to all black, change to a new bodykit.
What do people say about your Rio?
They like the bodykits. look sporty and aggressive.
What would you advise to Kia owners who might be looking to customize their cars in future?
Do surveys,try to get a good deals, and make sure
the workmanship is good and reliable.
- Do you see yourself as a future Kia owner?
Most likely yes….interest in getting the sportage.
Thank you, Jackzz!

This rio has an awesome bodykit. I also like the color of his rio. White color is very rare on Rios here in Slovenia. Don’t know about the USA…

In our area Kias in general are popular. Either white or blue is the most popular here. But, they have the black body pieces, unlike this one. I really like what he’s done with it.
December 8th, 2008 at 11:01 pm
Wow! That looks raw.
December 10th, 2008 at 7:22 pm
very nice Rio check out KFXperformance.com for performance upgrades.
i would agree with you about the larger rims.
December 11th, 2008 at 10:39 am
Yeah he really needs bigger rims otherwise a very tastefully kitted RIO. Once he slaps on those 17″ he’s ride will be PIMPED!

Hi, Jackzz! Look nice of your Rio 5, I’m Malaysian. Kia rio in our country is not very popular..they like Toyota, Honda …so we are hard to find Rio accessories & bodykits to upgrade my Rio. your Rio really great looking. could you tel me you upgrade the Rim 15″ to 17″ , How about your fuel?? will waste more fuel?

Hi Jackzz. Nice one. im also a proud owner of Kia Rio back in Sarawak. Actually u can put some 17″ on your rio as what i did with my blue rio. Fabulous. as a matter of fact it handles better and doesnt effect the mileage.

Hey man, nice job on the Rio5. I have an 08 Rio but i can’t find a body kit for it anywhere. Where did you get yours?
June 24th, 2010 at 1:28 am
@ Justin
Try koreanautoimports’dot’com. They have a lot of body kits and other accessories.
July 20th, 2010 at 3:54 am
Hey Jackzz,
I have the same make and model. Could you recommend a few places to look for bodykits as I have been looking with no success.
Hope you still have them!
Thanks!
September 29th, 2010 at 9:39 am
Hey i just got a kia rio and i really want to put a body kit which looks the same as this one because its crazy if it was possible to tell me what parts you put on it
November 28th, 2010 at 12:26 am
I love the look. I recently purchased a 2007 Kia Rio and would like to customize with the least expense possible. One of the attributes I really like, among others, is the running light covers you have up front. I’m curious as to where I can find some for myself at a good price. No luck in the search so far. Thank you!

Hi Jackzz,
I love the look. I recently purchased a 2006 Kia Rio and would like style it up a bit. I really you body kit and I see there it was mentioned that it’s a mix and match from other make of cars, can you tell me exactly what you did to have your car bodykit come together so nicely, or point me to websites where I can get help? I’m also curious as to where I can find the light covers?
