Just installed Stinger Aluminum Handle Inside Door Catch Plates

[Sime]

Here you go. It was to dark in the garage to get a good picture installed. However these will hopefuuly help. IMHO this is the best way I've seen "so far" to do this. Cheers.

This looks to be the better long term option, I will do this when the new ones arrive.

maybe you should use your brain and realize where the responsibility actually lies.

I used my brain and didn't damage my car when I installed the relevant pieces. Maybe you should have done the same?

No? Easier to get angry at and blame someone on the internet? Senior millennial?

Again, next time you think of modding your car take it to a professional. You clearly aren't equipped well enough to deal with the stresses and difficulties of installing a dbl sided tape panel.

Just trying to help you out.

The damage isn’t major, but it scuffed the inside of the handle whilst trying to install. You can’t see it under normal circumstances. But what is one supposed to do? You buy a product, in which there were instructions, being poor, on the page they were bought from. How is anyone to know about the process of removing a part to install another was required without saying so? Even if you came to that conclusion after the fact, you still have to go about figuring out why it’s not working before hand, therefore causing minor damage in the process.
But sure, it’s fine to look at this with all your hind sight, even the op had to partially translate Korean to find his method.
But no, blame me instead of the people responsible for telling us how the product they sell should be installed.

Im not sure if you're being serious.

If you chose to install a modification onto your car IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. You are to blame! No matter how horrible the instructions are the blame lies squarely on the shoulders of the person installing the part. It isn't anyone else's fault.

If your mechanic orders a part from Kia and due to poor instructions damages your car while installing it who's to blame? Kia for selling it to him with poor instructions? Or him for actually doing the work that resulted in the damage?

Look dude. Sal doesn’t manufacture this stuff. As stated, it would be the same packaging / instructions regardless of where purchased. Tuscanicustoms, eBay, Amazon. Do you expect every reseller to have instructions for everything they sell?

No.

That’s why forums like this have how to’s. Most people will do some basic research before attempting this stuff.

But please continue to blame others.

Own up homie.

And for future reference, when removing panels from parts of the car it's best to use a panel removing tool.

If you check Amazon there are kits with many different size/shape tools available for cheap.

That helps to reduce the chance of damaging anything when modifying interior parts.

Answer me this, Sal put basic and useless instructions on the site, why wouldn’t it been so easy to simply say to remove the OEM part.
Tell me why this simple one line sentence could not be included, or just don’t put instructions at all.

We've already established the instructions suck. That doesn't relieve you of your responsibility to properly install it. And it doesn't make the damage you caused his fault.

Tools did not scuff the car, I used no tools at all, but in case you didn’t read, I said the action of trying to place the plates onto the OEM part and it not working, it said to press hard to stick, so I did, but the plates were to stiff to comply. There was no way to get those plates to fit over that OEM part. But you still have to explain to me how anyone is to know that they were not meant to be installed over the OEM?

I never told him it was HIS FAULT, I had a go at him for the lack of clear instructions. And how is anyone to know how to properly install anything without clear instructions? If this thread didn’t exists, and at one point in time it didn’t, how is one to know before you actually start the install, to remove the OEM part? There’s plenty of after market products that fit over an OEM part.

So, if I was to buy some catch cans, should I go and install them blindly?
You do realize that googling instructions is EXACTLY THE SAME AS USING INCLUDED INSTRUCTIONS right?

But as a seller of anything, it’s their responsibility to provide the consumer with instructions, as Sal has now provided the web page with a link to this thread.

Just because this is a car modification does not say it’s not held to the same standard as any other product you buy.

 

[Kamauxx]

Good luck man.

Good luck man.

What’s you actual problem? Can you not see the basic logic in what I’m saying about instructions and the responsibility of anyone selling a product, or is your ego so high you have to be correct regardless?

Sal is stepping up his direction game!

@Sime
If you had and issue that there was no instructions why didnt you contact Sal at the Stinger store to ask questions? I have done this in the past. Sal in helpful in most cases if your not happy he will refund the money. I bought a set on ebay a while back, no instructions either, yet when i saw how bad a fit they were i decided not to fit them and put it down to experience.
I would strongly suggest you contact Kia Stinger (Sal) and discuss it with him. Its not in your favour to comment about him in the way you have in a public forum until you have contacted the seller. Members here are not defending Sal just the way you have lashed out at him im sorry to say. You are angry I can see that but maybe a solution is out there if you choose to seek it.
I would advise all others that they stop making comments that inflame the situation until Sime has spoken to Sal. Thanks
