Hi, all just picked up my new 2020 Kia Stinger GT. Only have about 100 miles on it but so far I love it. Any suggestions for first mods?

Howdy. What color combo did you get?

Badges are usually the first thing to go.

i ended up with the hichroma red and black interior was originally looking at Snow White pearl with red interior but the red just stuck out a lot more to me and I liked it a lot. Are the badges hard to swap out?

any recommendations on a good wireless adapter? Probably the one biggest thing that bugs me about CarPlay.

Easy and not so easy. Quite a few do-it-yourselfers have muffed it and taken paint off; and others have successfully removed the OEM badges/script without damage.

I have "K" skins on my front and rear KIA badges (bought them from Sal); they've been on for a year and a half and still look really good (eventually I will remove them and run KIA again).

Tint.

Carbon Fibre look engine cover

He did say "carbon everywhere". ​

 

[Ac91]

My stinger didn’t come with tint and I never realized how damn weird it is not having tint. Of course I buy a car during a pandemic and all the tint shops are closed and the dealer wants $300

 

[moinmoin]

not having tint

If you do so, remember to include the sun roof..
