Given the Kia Rio’s reputation as one of the most eco-friendly vehicles on the road today – 85-percent of Rio’s materials are recyclable at the end of its lifespan – the subcompact provided a natural automotive alter-ego for Aquaman, symbolizing his role as protector of the environment, both land and sea. The Rio 5-door received the West Coast Customs treatment with special gold, green and orange exterior paint and custom metal fins attached to the body. Other visual elements also include Oracle LED wheel rings and body lighting across the exterior and 20-inch color-matched Asanti wheels wrapped in Continental rubber.
Inside the Rio 5-door’s cabin, the seats have been reupholstered with green leather featuring yellow and gold accents. The headliner has been customized using green suede, and the Aquaman logo was stitched into the back seats to complete the theme of the passenger compartment. Pop the trunk on this Rio and notice the customized enclosure inspired by Aquaman comics featuring a unique polycast cutout, which creates an underwater scene that is lit with Oracle LED lighting. Massive 12-inch subwoofers and two coaxial component speakers enhance the ride experience. Two seven-inch Rosen Entertainment monitors play the “We Can Be Heroes” video to support this worthy cause.
