What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

[Kato_the_kia_stinger]

Is it vented?

Yes. It has six total vents.

Today I installed new paddle shifter extensions.

I had the very bad idea to paint the OEM shifters in black to match the carbon fiber. I had no idea that removing that steering wheel airbag would be such a pain in the ass.

I will take a picture tomorrow in daylight, now its hard to see what it looks like.

Not my taste, but it does add character.

A Korean shop called "Youtocar".
I realized they were only 10min away from my home so I went there and picked up the shifter extensions and as well as a rear spoiler for a friend.

Where does water go?? (a pic or two of the underside would be appreciated)

I'll take some photos, but my understanding is that the vents (which are more like outlet vents rather than inlet vents) are not connected to any type of drainage. My experience and research tells me that this won't be an issue, as they are located away from the intakes and my JB4.

Nice do you know if they ship to the US? I would like the shifters.

Is there no place where you can buy similar paddles in the US?

I think that there is, but impersonally want Korean parts to compliment this amazing Korean car

If there is, then you may want to share it to @NYdito .
In case there isn't, I can ask to the seller.
But remember usually carbon parts aren't very cheap.

Painting the hood to match the yellow car would help, my 2 cents

Let me know the price I’m interested could PayPal.

Here are some daylight pics I just took.
It is less flashy than the red alluminium paddle shifters I had before. The feel is plastic because of the clear coat but that is to be expected.
I think I like it so far.

I’m considering it, but I still enjoy the contrast

Seems like the hood is going for the viper ACR look. Not sure of I like it on a stinger or not, but it's better than our fake vents. I'd probably prefer it painted (I also dislike every other unpainted CF hoods FWIW)

All pretty much accurate assessments. Lol

If you like it that is all that matters.

CF steering wheel

That crooked/offset red stripe would drive me nuts..
