What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

[Kiteflygolfdrive]

Did the left and right sequential tail light install. Came out great they’re plug and play on my car. No warning lights.

I placed a lessons learned on the sequential lights retrofit thread. After watching the few videos that are out on YouTube there were still 2 things I wish I had realized before the install.

1. do not remove the black plastic caps that come preinstalled on the new lights. 1 had removed one before realizing that

2. do not install the color caps on the new lights before installing them on the car. Once again I had already done one and it made life more difficult than it had to be.

Finally got time to install my new springs today, and my endlinks too. Both been sitting around taunting me.

Little behind on adding the before and after pic. The top was actually with Storm drop springs in. Didn't get much of any drop up front but i will say they did stiffen up the handling of the car. Super happy with my new set of springs.

Me and my 2 buddies with STI's went from a car show to take some pictures. We dropped of one of the cars at a parking garage and then used the other STI as a camera car. I did let them drive my car

Powder coating things makes me happy. Just recoated these.
Did these tips months back.

I’d like to see this car photo once they’re installed. Looks great.

Thanks, will do. They’re my winter wheels. I got them in Brushed Bronze originally, and while the finish was great, it was just too dark against the orange and got washed out unless it was in direct sunlight.

Kinda taking a risk with the gold too, but a gold/bronze theme is what I devoted myself to.

Bought some tinybots 6d carbon vinyl and wrapped my side leg support and sides of radio trim. Came out nice. Also wrapped my center console hydrodipped cover.

I know what you mean. Last year when we had a bad snowstorm Xmas night, I tried to get home, and even though I have AWD, couldn't make it up the slight hill to my street with the crappy "Almost Season" tires. Car slid to the edge of the ditch on the side of the road and stopped just before going over, too close for comfort.
Didn't even try to get it out, waited for help to pull me out.
AWD means nothing unless you have tires for it. Unfortunately, it only snows here once or twice a year, so winter tires don't make sense.

I have yet to drive my stinger in the snow (with the tires in my sig). What all season tires are you folks above using?

I have Hankook Ventus V12 evo. Not my choice, they were on the car when I bought it.
I am going to be in the market for new tires soon, maybe get the Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 plus.
