What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

Kudos on the nice tidy garage you have there. Looks like you maybe took some measurements with you when you went car shopping? :p
Heh the garage came after I got the car and just happens to be a pretty tight fit and something I didn't really think about when buying the house.

This side of garage is nice and tidy but the other 1 car attachment is where all the junk is placed haphazardly :whistle:
 
"Great minds", and all that. Expediency also. I just got my wheels changed, and now I'm back on the OE (powder coated gloss black last February). The first fat flakes of the REAL drop began shortly after. :D It's already 4" and still coming down copiously. When I got home, I filled a bucket with hot water and soaked the salty grime off her skirts, then used two 2'x3' microfiber drying towels on the whole thing; wheels last: they are super easy to clean and dry compared to the TSW "Watkins" that I have gotten used to since March. :laugh:

(edit: my wife was enchanted by the snow drop, and she made sure that the snowflaked bum of my Stinger got in the video :D Dropbox - IMG_6403.MOV - Simplify your life )

And I thought it was a big deal when a bird crapped on mine today. Lol. Couldn’t deal with salty roads eating at my car. Yes, the bird poo came off with no effort since I’ve got so much ceramic on it.

Spent the afternoon installing sound deadening material in the trunk and under the rear seats, killed the annoying exhaust hum around 2k RPM

I thought the MBRP cat backs were "hum" free

From what I gather they're hum free with stock midpipes. Removing the secondary cats (and primaries even more so) introduces some hum.

Nice job! Tips on install? Got the exact same stuff sitting in my mod room. Waiting till next spring to install, along with ordering the MBRP catback. Give us a review on how it helps with cabin sound. Thanks!

What quantity is needed for this application?

I used around 25 sqft.

Having a roller is key, I would also recommend having a very sharp blade; titanium scissors or surgical shears.

Also reserve way more time then you expect you'll need, took me around 4 hours

I've got secondary cat delete and MBRP catback. Used the same material but only installed in the hatch. Did absolutely nothing for me. Applying on the back seat is most likely the secret sauce.
