Welcome. Very nice looking car.
Tell us about Kizashis and Suzuki in Kuwait. Are they still currently on sale? How popular is the Kizashi?
What model year is your Kizashi?
Are those LED DRLs aftermarket or stock? (I have no idea how Suzuki packages the Kizashi these days in markets it's still selling them in.)

P.S. I too like Armin Van Buuren. The Kizashi's Rockford Fosgate system is really sublime for electronica.

The LED bars are pretty sick. What are the little patches right below the headlights?

Hi everyone. Thanks for your comments and warm welcome.

To answer your questions briefly, Kizashi's are actually not that popular in Kuwait at all. The base model is slowly proving to be a reliable car in the market and we started seeing more of it on the road. The Sports model however is extremely rare to find, for some reason. Which surprises me because the dealership provides fully loaded luxury Kizashi's like mine (2011). It does come with a price though: 7500 KWD to the exact. I believe the Kizashi is still on sale but heard from our dealership that Suzuki Japan stopped making Kizashis 2014 onwards. No idea if that's true though...

From comparing my Kizashi to other's on this site I noticed that the Middle East gets special features like the automatic headlight washers (white patch right under headlights).

Thanks again for your comments guys! I'm actually thinking about painting my rims black, what do you think? Can't seem to make up my mind..

Cheers

You could plasti dip them in black, put plasti dip glossifier afterward and check if you like the look. I think it would look nice.
