What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

[NYdito]

Started a group buy for primary down pipes.


SXTH Element group buy!!

Yesterday I washed my car. Cleaned up the interior, vacuum'd everything, applied leather cleaner on seats and cleaned some the panels of any dust and grime. Added a ceramic wax to help keep the water and dirt off between washes.

The car I used to drive is in the background directly above my car in the picture. I use it for dog transport and if there is unexpected crap weather. Oh and my girlfriend drives it.

I use it for dog transport ... and my girlfriend drives it.

 

[RedCal]

Male or female dog?

[RedCal]

Well that ruins the joke then

 

[Ulikefishsticks]

Haha, I figured that was the direction you were going.

Finally got my re-wrap done after a couple of small accidents required 2 doors and front headlight to be fixed/replaced. The new wrap color didn't match the original, so all the orange had to be redone. Since they had to remove the front bumper to replace the headlight, I was able to have them replace both grill pieces with carbon fiber as well as the fog bezels. They wrapped the fender vents gloss black for now, those will be going to carbon fiber this summer, as well as the hood. I've had carbon fiber mirror caps on order for 1 1/w months and still no delivery. Insurance didn't cover the complete re-wrap, so all told, this cost me about $1,000 (not counting the carbon fiber parts).

We're in mid-winter here, so the minute I took it out of the shop it was going to look like crap, so I took photos in the shop. The photos were somewhat washed out, so I increased the contrast--maybe a bit too much.

Looks good to me! Now, that's an Orange. Very bold: sort of like the brazen message of your plate, you trouble-seeker, you.

Finally installed an OCC. A little late at 16K miles, but better than never. Been using top tier gas and quality synthetic at about 3K intervals with mostly highway miles, so I'm hopng it's pretty clean inside.

I photoshopped the orange on a different computer, and it looked ok on that monitor, but on the monitor I'm on now, the orange is a bit too intense. The original was too washed out, but I'll go back later and try to find a more accurate hue (the actual wrap is fairly close to Federation)

Put the finishing touch on the KDM rebadge project.
Installed the gloss black logo from Importshark on the back recently as well.

I had pulled my BMS intakes for the winter because I have to use automatic car washes in the winter. I noticed water was getting on the intake from the undercarriage spray so I ordered these and will reinstall the intakes this week. These prefilters are completely water resistant.

It was 65 degrees and sunny so just barely nice enough for a wash. So that's what I did. It had been awhile. She cleans up pretty nice.

Has your number plate got you any attention from an OFSR yet? Very creative.

What filters are you using? I want to replace the blue but can't find the right size.

Finally got this car I’ve been watching for years now. Say hello to my new toy!
Planning on doing my lease buy out. What’s the best mods to do first that won’t cause a fuss from the dealership while under lease? Also, what is the engine break in? I was told 1500 miles, just wanted some confirmation before I go into launch mode too early.

That's the very first time I have seen the Stinger's space saver spare.

You changed your flag in your profile. What's up?

 

[NIU_Huskies]

Over the last week I've done the following detail work to the car:

1. Wash
2. Clay bar
3. Touched up paint chips with the HiChroma paint pen from Kia
4. Paint correction with swirl remover
5. Polished the paint
6. CQuartz by CarPro ceramic coat on the paint

Non-detail items I completed:

1. Installed Rokblokz splash guards
2. Blacked out the OEM wheels and wheel caps
3. Blacked out the rear badges

I just purchased the OEM splash guards and will have them installed Monday. Any reason why you chose the Rokblokz over OEM?
