Blake Griffin 2012 Kia Optima at SEMA 2011

HI-RES GALLERY: Blake Griffin 2012 Kia Optima at SEMA 2011

Earlier this year, Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin pulled a wicked dunk over a Kia Optima (video below), and now Kia has taken the wraps off a Blake Griffin-themed Optima.

Wearing a basketball-textured exterior in House of Color sunset and cinnamon pearl paint, custom wheels, and a host of other visual tweaks, the Blake Griffin Optima was put together by West Coast Customs. Griffin's personal logo sits on the hood.

Other upgrades to this basketball-themed sedan include basketball court floors, leather seats and upholstery, custom embroidery, and Griffin's autograph. An upgraded audio system, flat-screen TVs and an XBox game console round out the in-car entertainment, and a miniature basketball hoop in the trunk offers some fun when the car is stopped.
