What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

Just gave the car a bath today, she isn’t dirty anymore! Thinking about making all the dark chrome accents on the car bronze to match the wheels and doing the chrome delete by the windows, any thoughts?

^^^U think that she looks great right now. But clearly you are having fun, so, knock yourself out. :P
 
3M Ceramic IR window tint. 50% windshield, 35% doors, 15% rear hatch. Paid $500 and comes with a lifetime warranty. I love how it came out.

Curious if you did the install yourself on the garnish and if so any struggles? I have not seeing the how to on that so I have not made that purchase
I did the garnish myself. To be honest, the only struggle was removing 12, yes TWELVE yellow clips holding the stock lower trunk in place. Definitely need two people. One to pry and another to hold the clips because they are very hard to get to. Other than that, fitment is great.
 
Swapped airbags/horns with the new logo. Looks much better to me, if anyone want to buy an older logo airbag let me know lol.27BE6372-1F28-49F8-9D82-6AB82B4BCF3E.webp857E6518-6221-4D6D-A4DE-418209D1C88C.webp
 
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...
Loving this baby more and more everday (19 GT). First drive in the stinger in the rain and it handled like a shifty runner back and I could tell a big difference from my previous vehicle (2016 q50 rs). Spirited drove home from work and I was amazed how smooth and nimble it handles for a car this size. For my everyday vehicle i couldn’t have imagined a better well suited tank machine.

Put the N shifter on tonight. Definitely changes the look inside. No more T handle, which always seemed a lil low end to me, even in my 2.slow. Now to change the stripe color this weekend.

The DIY thread on this was uber helpful

What part number is the new badge ?
Not sure, bought it on eBay. They’ve been out of stock for awhile, the seller told me parts shortage. Noticed a couple weeks ago it was available on eBay so I jumped on it..Also they hiked the price up $50 since I bought it. I figured I could sell mine and make back some money too.

I took particular pleasure in ridding my ride of the road salt on the undercarriage, and then finishing up with ONR in the carport (no "after" pics, necessary, you know the drill to a clean, shiny car). (The weather prognosticators got the temperature wrong: they predicted 30F for a high today and I saw 36F and that was good enough for me!)

This is what I rinsed off in Kingman, AZ, and it was worse than that, even, since I still had a couple hundred miles of brown dirt slush accumulation to get rid of after these pics were taken, only 60 miles into my road trip.
