Every time the kids get in the back after soccer practice there is just mud and grass everywhere because the mats dont have any kind of lip on the edges to actually hold the gunk in. It just slides right off onto the beige carpet and I spent two hours yesterday trying to scrub out a stain that I swear is never gonna fully go away. I am literally losing sleep over the thought of the carpet getting ruined before I even hit 2,000 miles. I need something that actually fits the 2024 hybrid model specifically because I know the floor layout is slightly different than the gas version.

I have about $250 to spend and I really need to get this ordered like today because we are supposed to go on a trip to the mountains in two weeks and I know the slush and road salt will just destroy the interior if I dont get better protection. I was looking at WeatherTech but I keep reading reviews saying they curl up at the edges after a while which sounds like a total nightmare for the price. My main requirements are:

• high edges to catch mud and melted snow


• custom fit that covers the dead pedal area


• something easy to spray off at the car wash


• material that wont get slippery when its wet

Has anyone tried those TuxMat ones or maybe the Lasfit? I saw some people talking about how TuxMat covers almost everything but they look kinda bulky in the pictures... do they actually stay put? I just want something that I can spray down with a hose and not have to worry about my car smelling like wet dog every time it rains. What are you guys using that actually works...

I saw some carbon fiber mirror caps but worry theyll look tacky against the black chrome. Some say splash guards ruin the lines too. What exterior mods are actually worth it for this trim?

I really need:

• heavy duty floor mats


• seat back protectors for the kids kicking


• a center console tray

Is the official Kia stuff even worth the crazy markup or what...

My logic was that the 5.0 would be enough but it feels like there is this huge delay every time I step on it and I’m just about done with the stock setup. I was looking at supercharger pulleys because obviously more boost is better right? But then I started reading about heat soak and now I’m stuck wondering if I need a better intercooler pump first because the car just bogs down after twenty minutes of driving in the heat here in Florida.

I’ve got about 2500 bucks saved up to fix this mess and I need to get it sorted before a club meet next month but I dont want to just throw money at it and get zero results. Is it the exhaust? A tune? I heard some guys say a TCU flash is the only way to fix the shifting but I dont even know where to start. It’s just so annoying because the car looks fast but it doesnt feel fast yet...

My logic was getting the heavy duty floor mats but I read on a forum that the official ones don't even fit that well and some people say just go aftermarket for protection but that feels wrong for a Ferrari... I also looked at the indoor cover but if I’m parking it at the office every day does that even make sense? I really want to protect the paint but PPF is a whole other rabbit hole. What are you guys actually using day to day?

I live in Arizona and I really want to go out to Sedona this weekend to try some trails but I am terrified of being that guy who gets stuck because he didnt buy a certain rope or tool. I have about 2000 bucks left in my fun budget for the month but I dont want to waste it on stuff that is just for looks. Do I need a winch right away? Someone mentioned a recovery kit but what is actually in that? Is a tire deflator thingy necessary or can I just drive on normal air?

Sorry if these are really basic questions but I literally just learned what a locker is yesterday so I am very much at square one. I want to do this right without looking like a total mall crawler but there are so many brands and parts it makes my head spin. What are the absolute basics I should throw in the back before Saturday...

I live in Seattle and it is basically starting to rain every single day now so I am mostly worried about the interior getting trashed with mud and gunk. I saw some people talking about weather mats but I dont know if the ones from the factory are any good or if I should get something else? Also what about the charging situation? Do I need to buy a specific cable to keep in the trunk or does it come with everything I need to plug it in at a station? My garage is still just a normal outlet so I am kind of stressed about that too.

I also keep seeing stuff about paint protection or like screen covers for the big dash display because I have kids and they have sticky hands and I am terrified of them scratching the screens or the shiny black plastic stuff inside. Is there a list of stuff that is actually essential for the first week? Like:

• Floor mats that actually fit


• Charging cables for emergencies


• Cleaning stuff for the screens


• Maybe some kind of trunk liner for groceries

I only have like 48 hours to get this sorted before I pick it up and I am just staring at Amazon and the Porsche shop feeling completely lost. What are the absolute must-haves that I need to order right now so I dont regret it the second I drive off the lot?...

So my logic was to just buy everything from the dealer to make it easy but the parts guy was clueless about the actual height increase. Then I look at the Thule Motion XT boxes because I need to fit four sets of skis plus boots and my budget is topping out around 1200 bucks for the whole setup. Is that even realistic? I read that the Motion XT L fits the V60 perfectly without blocking the hatch but then someone else said it hangs over the windshield and looks stupid. I am just so frustrated because every time I think I have a kit picked out I find a thread saying the mounting hardware whistles at 60mph or the sunroof wont tilt.

And dont get me started on the flush rails vs raised rails thing. I think mine are flush? They dont have the gap underneath. If I go with Yakima is the Whispbar still a thing or did they discontinue that? I just want something that doesnt make the car look like a tall utility van and actually stays quiet when I am driving up to BC. Does anyone actually have this specific car and a box that lets them into a standard 7-foot garage? Or am I just dreaming at this point...
