Gave it the Kia Cadenza Headlights and raised the badge. What do u think?

not sure, I kinda like the edginess that the Forte has. But you accentuated the Forte's curves so the headlights feel like they fit on there, kinda gives it a bit of a angry Mazda look. I think I'd prefer that front end over the current mazda3's front end.

the headlights really fit in well. i think the 'squared off barbell' surround of the new KIA grille should be bright, maybe like an aluminum, just until it's truly established. other than that it looks good enough to buy!
