Thirteen years. That's how long we've been doing this, and it still surprises people when it comes up.
Honestly, that's on us. If you just picked up your first Elantra N, Veloster, Forte, Stinger, or a K5, there's a good chance you've never heard of us. We've spent a lot of years pointing a camera at race cars and almost none of it at the shop itself, which is where the actual work happens every day.

So here's the part nobody really says out loud. We sell parts because selling parts is what keeps us alive. It's what pays for us to go racing. The racing is where we find out what actually holds up and what doesn't, and that's what turns into the next part we build. Then that part goes on the shelf and funds the next season. That's the whole loop, and it's been running since 2013. It's also why we don't put our name on something we wouldn't run ourselves.

We're going to do a better job of showing you this side of it. The builds, the fab work, the boxes going out the door, all of it.

We're here. Come say hi.

You may have not advertised the buying part of your company but you are showing us how reliable and trustworthy the parts are. So keep up the good work and keep racing 🫡

A lot of us left the KDM community sadly, after having a fully built VT and a FBO VN I'm now into DSM's and EVO's lol. I can only meet so many KDM people after not being in the community for so long, i still recommend your products but i almost never talk to KDM owners anymore XD

You’ve convinced me I need to buy more parts Josh, lol! It’s been awhile and need to get back into working on the car, kinda lost interest for a while. Miss the old Veloster get togethers at Jim’s.
