I take mine to Moore Automotive in Fairfax since they have AWD dyno.

Just saw my first Stinger driving in the wild yesterday on Braddock & Rolling Rd. Looks like it’s my twin. Anyone know who this is?

Awesome! Hope he can join the forum and come to some meet ups. Great color choice too

Hey fellas! I'm getting my eibach sway kit. Do you guys have any recommended installer you go to for after market parts? I'm looking for "car" guys who know their stuff, not just some mechanic.

Good question. Don’t know of any KDM shops around. Maybe PTuning in Gainesville or Moore Automotive in Fairfax?

I take my car to Moore Automotive to get dyno’d and they have plenty of imports being worked on. I’d take it to PTuning, but haven’t been able to get a dyno’d appointment.

Thanks Bear. I looked into PTuning, a friend of mine mentioned them too, but after looking at reviews on them kinda scared me on how they cut corners. I looked at Moore's review and they seem to be a bit better. I also looked into National Speed but they are in Richmond with really good reviews. I'll see if a friend of mine can help me first since he has a grease pit in his garage and he used to be a mechanic but if we cant do it then I might take it to Moore or national speed.

Ptuningis legit. They're the ones who have put on the springs, exhaust, lip kit and everything else for my stinger. I have been going to them for years for all my past vehicles.

Anyone have new mods or updates to their Stinger?

 

[17th_Letter]

i have added three new rock chips to the paint and 1 to the front windshield, does that count?

i am about to order a bunch of mesh to cut to put in the air ducting in the front. I know Luminary wanted a set, anyone else?

Side vent mesh

I still do, thanks for remembering!

Two stage paint correction
Ceramic coat
Rear badge swap
K&N filters (OEM replacements)

I have to work Saturday and Sunday but I’m down to meet up on Friday night. As someone who doesn’t use social media, owning a stinger may actually be the cause to joining Facebook haha. Just to meet up with other stinger owners
