Hi Ozstung....It's the HiChroma Red GT with the Bi-modal exhaust.

 

[Stinger GT SS]

Hi all,

Just ordered a Micro Blue Night Sky Edition today, it's on the boat from Korea to Sydney.
So looking forward to it, and learning stuff here.

G’day @davy gravy, welcome to the forum & congratulations on your new purchase, they are great cars & you should enjoy everything it has to offer.

Same as mine, got to be the best color out there for the Stinger, and of course, its the fastest. Welcome too the hive.
Are you changing the Kia etc names.
I am thinking of getting the Bi Modal exhaust but I like a nice quiet ride and would hate to hear a constant drone on journeys, Guess I am too old for that.

You will enjoy the Bimodal, I have it and it has no drone.

 

[tardotz]

I was a bit unsure about the Bimodal because same as you I didn't want to drive and have constant noise around me (lol another old fart) but very happy with it , you can hear it when accelerating but quiet when cruising.

 

[davy gravy]

I was probably looking at options like you Tardotz, but I went with the Night Sky because of the Bi-Modal / Grey interior, however IMO the red sure does look stunning.

Agreed, Bimodal is great. Gives character to the engine without the drone.

 

[starman]

Ok Ok, you have all convinced me to get the bimodal.
What would be a great price to have this done and what happens to the exhaust they take off?

Any price under RRP would be great. I think you'll need to do a lot of calling around and some negotiation. Unfortunately you don't have much bargaining power as you've already purchased the car. The old exhaust is yours to do with as you like.

Someone has been a very bad boy in NSW......

Lucky I’m not that crazy .....oh look, it's a " male ", suprise, surprise! a young man with testosterone overload, showing off to his mates with alcohol fuelled idiocy.........what could possibly go wrong ?

 

[davy gravy]

So, I get my Night Sky on 1/8 and join the Micro Blue club (& it's not the crashed 1 above).
Currently there are only 2 x GT en-route to Aus by boat - other is GT red / black interior.
Very excited.

I spotted that too!

That poor Stinger. Seeing those photos makes me want to go and give my Stinger a hug.

I would have thought with all the current TV adverts on the Stinger sales would have been high, with just 2 coming in I hope the Stinger live on for many years. Best car out there - far better than the Lexus IS / RC.
Blue is a great color but sorry 2nd only to the red as it obviously goes faster.
Are you getting the Bimodal fitted?.
Oh and welcome to the hive
