What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

[Stinger GT SS]

Ooops. I should have looked at the pretty picture.

Culmination of different parts since I got the car 3+ years ago, very happy with the interior appearance now (Would prefer the alcantara dash panel but it’s $600…)

Today I surgically slapped on the red cf window switch overlays.

Other pieces I’ve done include the red cf shifter and red cf radio bezel from G4werkz, red cf paddle extensions, 22’ logo airbag and the alcantara armrest.

Finally installed my MBRP exhaust. I almost lost and gave up to the rusty bolts from the Chicago winters but went to lowes to buy a new impact wrench. My old one was weak. New one zipped the rusty old bolts off. Love the sound. Amazing how it’s still pretty tame but like it.

No pictures because I’m exhausted (no pun intended). Maybe tomorrow

I've heard of 50 shades of grey and now I've seen 50 shades of red ( in a car ). Lol.

I replaced both engine air filters after 2.5 years and 14,288 miles. I was expecting them to be dirtier. Kia Stinger manual calls for them to be replaced every 48 months or 24k miles. I'd say 17.5k miles seems to probably be the right mileage based on how dirty mine were.

First picture is of the old right intake air filter. Second picture is a new right intake air filter compared to old.

I think a lot of it has to do with the environment car is driven in. Dustier areas will dirty the filters quicker. I'm glad I only have to replace 1 filter. The old car had individual air boxes for each bank too. Twice the cost. Those G filter were ~half the size of yours and cost ~$20+/ea oem. They were easily accessible however, didn't require removal of and hardware .

I'm on similar 2.5-3yr ~15Kmi change interval too.

Change your oil lately? At less than 4K (~9 months) since the last o/c, mine was a dark honey color. Darker than I expected.

The OEM filters weren't cheap from what I recall. I bought them from one of those online Kia dealership stores. I bought 3 of each and 6 engine oil filter cartridges too since shipping costs are never free on those types of websites.

I checked my engine oil. Its at just over 3k miles since I last did it but I'm at 9.5 months. I'm going to change my oil tomorrow. I know it's early but I'm moving for a new job over 800 miles away and just want to get the oil change done since I won't have access to all my tools and a garage for a while.

He's talking about that scythe looking thing, what is that?

Its just that, a scythe I made 10yrs ago for a Halloween party. I wasn't going to walk around as death with one of those lil plastic ones. Wouldn't look right being 6'8. So i built one, and now its part of our yearly decor

^^And you have a freddy glove hidden somewhere too?

 

[G70LEbyAdoom]

Attempted to do my first paint correction myself on Saturday using amazon pads and "Meguiar's G17220 Ultimate Compound, Color & Clarity Restorer, Scratch & Swirl Remover"

while it seemed to do the job in some spots, I left a lot on the table. It was also very cloudy out so no really good lighting to see if it was actually doing anything. It DID however remove a nasty stain of something that was on my rear bumper that nothing else seemed to get.

That is one I do not have. I do however have an old school style coffin.

It's always good to be prepared!

Changed engine oil, oil filter, and cabin air filter on my 2019 GT2. Always fun dealing with all those pop rivets and bolts for the two underpanels.

Will be driving it 800 miles for the upcoming move to another state.
