What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

Going in for my scheduale service and I may or may not have had 2 400 mile trips after 7500... and maybe I feel really guilty about going past my interval.... and yeah 7500 miles is a long time between changes. What do you guys think the real interval should be?
 
First mod "installed" yesterday. Ordered one of those sticker emblems that go over the existing emblem. Vintage K steering wheel emblem. Looks really sharp, but for the exterior mods, I will not go the sticker route.

Funny story, I pressed down on the edges fine, then pressed on the middle and honked my horn. I might have jumped a little. I'm an idiot...

Same here. I've never honked the horn before that, scared me shitless.

And woke up the sleeping child. Oops. Wife wasn't happy.
 
Cleaned up the front and rear..

The STINGER badge from the left side of the trunk covers the holes from the KIA badge perfectly.. I will be taking it back off, though, and painting it black to match the fake vents/diffuser, once I get my regular license plate and .tinted cover. I'm proud to have bought from Kia of Muncie, but I don't carry ads on my cars..

For those wondering - no issue with paint, and I was not gentle. I ended up using one of those nylon straps you have around heavy boxes, like furniture and such? I have several on the ground in the garage from some pieces I bought at Costco, and after spraying some WD40 around the front badge, I sat there for a minute looking around and thought "that should work nicely" - and it did...

Nice, is there any chance of closer photo’s & can you find out the part number, I would love that in mine, we only got black plastic ones & I’m hoping that this will fit right hand drive model that we have here in OZ.
Just bumping this up for our colleague @xot1, hello friend are you able to find information for us all who are interested in the Stainless Steel Footrest that you have in your car. Any information you can provide would be most appreciated.

The price of Kia parts is ridiculous, so I was actually anticipating that these two covers could cost more than the $553.32 I paid this morning to order them in from Jerry Seiner. And of course I could pursue a cheaper source, but it wouldn't be that much cheaper, and it wouldn't provide OEM parts, likely as not. So, the parts are coming, due Monday. Next week my Stinger's "invisible" under parts will look brand new again. :rolleyes:

Where the hole is, I actually hit the bolt as well. Man! That was a close one. How much closer could it have been without doing serious, grossly expensive damage? I get up each morning and pray: "Bless me to not screw up!" "But if not, then bless my screw ups to be bearable." (I don't want to be a pleading nag.)

That emblem looks really weird in that spot.

What brand are those? Specs?
I got them from Tirerack. They are Achtung DM88 18x8.5. I went with the least expensive with a design I like. I don’t think they’re all that bad. Black and yellow always looked good to me.
