What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

[xot1]

With the jB4, you might want to add a second catch can for the CCV side. Just a suggestion based on others experience with increased boost. Try not to roast the tires before Sunday.

Does it catch any oil? Even @Terry@BMS said it was useless.

In stock form it won’t but once you start adding boost it seems to catch some.

Added TIAL Bov using the BMS adapter.

Looks very good!

 

[StungnTn]

I need to get some red probolts for the adapter and the look will be good.

For a guy who's trying to sell his Stinger, you sure are busy!
Why do you have your hood propped up?

 

[StungnTn]

I haven't decided yet, I'm leaning towards keeping it. The hood is carbon fiber, I removed the pistons.

 

[MerlintheMad]

I had no idea that replacing the hood would remove the pistons. Hmm!?

it is recommended as to not stress and crack the carbon fiber from closing it as it would flex the hood

Recived the emblems today, so i promptly applied them on the car.
Vintage k, black base and silver "k".
Now my beauty gets longer looks, and not a short look and "eugh, kia" look.

Meh. The trunk emblem wont stick fully on the lower side. its not fited /made the same curve as the original one (I use the sticky over kind).
You cant see it with the trunk closed or not looking too closely at the emblem. Tho i would like to fix this.
All other emblems fitted perfect over the original.

Nothing crazy, just decided to wrap the rear reflectors. The wife approves

I may or may not have found some thunderstorm cells to chase tonight for @MerlintheMad

Is it a photoshop?

 

[Fatalifeaten]

Is it a photoshop?

Yes, but Not in the way you are probably thinking. The shots are 100% real, I took them about an hour ago near my house with a monsoon storm coming in from the North. they're 15-20 second exposures (which is why the trees are blurry, the wind was blowing), each a single exposure, no compositing.

I use Photoshop to do color corrections and some simple tonal balancing in my post-processing workflow. In this case, I was shooting underneath a streetlight with a yellow colored glow, so I adjusted the color balance to remove as much of that sooty yellow as I could without making the shots look dumb.

So yes, Photoshop, but no, not compositing anything together to fake the funk. These happened as you see them here.

 

[Manaz]

Nothing wrong with post-processing to adjust white-balance, etc. Very nice!

Cool storm shots, do you ever get concerned you might get caught in a hail storm whem trying to get shots like that?

Cool storm shots, do you ever get concerned you might get caught in a hail storm whem trying to get shots like that?

In general I try to make sure I'm in a safe location when I'm shooting storms, and I keep an eye on radar and eyes/senses telling me what the storm is doing. If I start getting more than a couple sprinkles, I'm out. My camera gear is insured, of course, but I really don't want to give it a bath. Hail is an infrequent occurrence here, so I worry more about being in the lightning range really.

V.1 or V.2 Front Lip? Did you drill holes for the side skirts? Planning on getting them too.

Another point as well - you'll have to drill extra holes to anchor for the lip as it is a little flappy in the middle because the material isn't super stiff.

 

[Luminary]

Installed my new (to me, thanks to the nice deal from @Cristobal09) Stillen front lip and side skirts. LOVE the look it brings.
I had OEM splash guards on prior to the install, and did not want to lose the minimal protection the fronts provide so after a bit of minor surgery, got them on and the look is (at least I think so) decent. Very minor gap at the bootem.



Also, finally had my cQuence roters and Stoptech break pads installed. After the install, during the pad seating, the breaks felt a bit squishy and not as responsive as the OEM's. But after about 50 miles, they are super responsive and feel 10X better then the OEM's did. I am very happy with them and have no complaints. Thanks to @NYdito for the group buy on these!
