Those Bat-Wing Headlights

The slick matte black paint job brings out that killer looks the car deserves. The yellow under glow shines from beneath and behind the massive brakes. Everything is custom-made on the exterior, the body kit, the door panel, the new bumpers, side skirts, a rear spoiler and even the hood vents were designed by hand, specifically for this Kia.The Distinctive and Performance-Inspired Wheels
K Sport's brakes make the wheels unmatched in performance. When the speeds are soaring high, they'll step right in on the driver's will to calm the knight down. They're 20-inch wheels, dramatically lowered and painted to complement the car's appearance and suave. When the vehicle moves in before a crowd, the wheels stop turning and the lights glare, a dark experience is brought with it.
The Interior
There's a unique batsuit in the trunk. Yes. This particular fact was meant to lock eyes. Also, there are several stylish features that simply impress. Everything has been upholstered in leather and suede. The seats, the headliner, the dashboard and all else that crosses your mind.
Yellow batman logos and LED s are scattered throughout the interior and the centre console can be opened to find Batman throwing stars. Although you won't get a custom audio system with loud sub-woofers and amplifiers, that's for the reason that the car is based on stealth and in tribute to the Bat's personality.
