What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

Finally chucked the POS AP CAI for JTs.

Haven’t fired the car up yet.

Will check it tomorrow.

I don’t anticipate much different between the AP (sound or performance), but at least my driver’s side filter will stay on now.

And this looks way better.

Hood wrap this past weekend. Had the roof and pillars wrapped a few weekends before. Next up, deck lid to match.

I love how the hood wrap really makes the black in the Kia badge pop now.

Asked a few follow up questions to a swedish kia service place.
No modifications allowed, no air filters no nothing.
I guess this even means badge-change is enough to cancel the guarantee.

Honestly speaking, it sounds absolutely ridiculous to me. I would actually go ahead and get in touch with the official representative company of Kia Sweden, rather than the dealerships. Unless the business model is different in Sweden than in Estonia then there should be a company who is responsible for selling Kia's to the dealerships and also has the final say in terms of different warranty things and also holds control over the dealership.
 
Washed and detailed prior to road trip to San Fran and Reno.

Yea I had to push the filters down a little to install the struct braces back in. I'm surprised the BMS wouldn't fit perfectly though.

I was pretty sure they where designed that way so the strut helped secure them in place.

A few pics. First one is with the ADD W1 BOV's recently installed, hadn't taken a pic with them on until today. Yes, engine bay is a little dirty. :p Next one is me and another Stinger owner (@Duce_13 ) social distancing our Stingers from the rest of the cars at a brewery, Third Wheel Brewing if anyone is wondering. :)

Like the added red in the engine bay. How do those bad boys sound?

I probably should do a video of it, but I like it. :) It has its own distinct sound, different from say an HKS or GFB. It's almost like a whistle.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd like to see and hear a video of these in action.
