What brand/model?
How are they?
Did they replace the 15 speaker hk sound system or the 9 speaker version?

Replaced the 9 speaker version. I replaced the fronts with Infinity KAPPA-60CSX 6.5" Component Speakers and the rears with Infinity Kappa 62IX 6.5" Coaxial Speaker System. The front speakers sound amazing. The rears sound low and muddled, I don't know if it is the speakers, wiring, or amp.

Nothing too exciting , but for me, a good day.
Took the Stinger to my local Hyundai dealer for my spring oil and filter change.
The car has spent the better part of 3 months in hibernation.
I did take it out and run it periodically when the roads were clear, so I wasn't too worried about letting it sit.
I went to the Hyundai dealer as it is 5 minutes away. The closest Kia dealer is about 20 minutes.
People complain about car dealerships, but these guys were great. Service advisor was very interested in the car, as he has a BMW and wanted to compare specs.
I also requested that once the car was up on the hoist, that I wanted to see it up close and scout out the undercarriage.
I wanted to see where everything was, and how to do a future oil change on my own, if possible.
The young tech was very enthusiastic as well. More than happy to take the time to point everything out.
I think part of it was that they don't see Stingers in the shop, so more than one guy was over checking it out.
I also brought a sandwich bag for the old filter to take home.
The car looked pristine underneath, and solid as heck. Kia did a good job.
Very happy today.

That is really interesting as the Hyundai dealerships in my neck of the woods will

not touch a KIA even though they are basically under the same umbrella when it

comes to replacement parts and the like. Luckily, we have a really good KIA dealership

not to far away and they have been pretty good at servicing Stingers in the area.

Painted or powder coated? You said "painted", but some people refer to powder coating as "painted."

I have the original GT wheels powder coated gloss black too.

Heya, yes, exactly like you said it's powder coated, those are also OEM wheel from 2022.
I have winter set same like yours and maybe I will do them black as well.

Could you drop a pic from the side of the car?
 
IIRC, one of them power-coated them a burnt bronze color... really nice.

I believe the car color for that one was Micro Blue, a natural combination.

There's probably a thread or two on dealership experiences, and after 50 years of driving, I could probably start my own, and write a book on it.
Just a few quick stories: I was a Nissan guy back in the early 2000's and had a great dealership near me.
Bought more than one car from them. The dealership got sold to a conglomerate, and went in the shitter within 6 months. Never been back.
Bought a new Mazda in 2017 from a good dealership, then started going to another one near me for service. Night and day.
The one closest to me was horrible.
As for the Stinger, I bought it from the second dealer I visited, as the first one was a bad experience, especially with their finance guy.
The local Hyundai dealership didn't hesitate to take in the Stinger. It was a 10/10 experience for me.
Last year I stopped by a Genesis dealer not too far from me, and they made it clear they wanted nothing to do with me or my Stinger. Bad holier than thou attitude.
