What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

[Jimmer]

Thx, not the best fit I see.

I don't know, looks good in the car to me. It's why I didn't just get the overlay sticker.

Jimmer, does the stinger badge fit really well over the stock kia badge, was it easy to put on ?

Perfectly over it and it was just peel and stick. Took about 20 seconds. There are up close pics a few posts up. The pics seem better and more detailed in my profile photos.

Its flush. I just ran my finger over it again. No gaps. The pics, I guess, are misleading. In any event, I'm no expert and a less less critical than many so it more than works for me. I don't see any flaw.

Sorry to say but looking at pics clearly no.

This is the same badge I fitted to my steering wheel directly over the OE Kia badge & here are some shots of the fit & finish.
I’m a fussy owner & am very happy with the look & result.

"Clearly"? That would only be possible if the pics were in sharper detail. Judging by the pics the badge looks pretty good.

I did nothing to my Stinger today because I’m pretty useless. My brother, on the other hand, who has been tinting cars for 25 years and owns his own shop, is pretty darn handy. So Merry Christmas to me, he tinted my car for me.

I got the same one from Sal after seeing the pics posted some time ago by @Stinger GT SS fits perfectly, looks good, no issues so far.

What percent is that?

^^^^^ this... looks like it’s super dark! Is it legal down there?

 

[Kamauxx]

My guess is 20%.

Put the new reverse LED's in the Stinger and Sorento..Stinger 30 minutes, Sorento 30 seconds.

How much are the LEDs and you got a pic to share?

 

[Ucinn]

I don't have any pics, but they are way brighter than the stock incandescents.

He did tell me but I burnt a few brain cells last night and it appears those memories were the ones to go. It’s definitely legal, I figured driving a red car I didn’t need to give the cops the slightest chance to book me for anything. I’m thinking 20% rear, 15% front but I’ll find out for sure and post later. We’re catching up later today to hunt down any brain cells that escaped extinction last night and this time were going to finish the job.

Darkest legal tint in NSW is 35% that’s what yours looks like.

Got my Big mouth intakes in, swapped the back Kia badge, and removed the dealer branding.

Removing the back badge took a bit of paint with the sticker and I had an oval impression where the badge used to be. Gonna have to take it to the shop to get it cleaned up and probably grab a paint pen for future fixes.

Getting the front of the front bumper off was pretty easy but took 3 tries to get it back on because of having some bits slightly off

Now to give it a full bath once I get some stuff for Christmas tomorrow haha

This thing. Perfect fit. Gold on one side and black on the other. I prefer gold.
