What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

[Robs]

hows the change to 245's feel, sound?

Swapped to Yoko Advan Sport V105S so grip and handling wise, they are a big improvement over the 225 ContiSportContact 5s.

And while going wider, the sidewalls are a little taller but stiffer due to the design of the V105S, and bcos of this the tyres are slightly noisier over rough tarmac and speed humps. On good tarmac they seem almost as quiet as the Contis. If going wider with Contis or Michellins, they should be just as quiet but with more grip and lateral control.

What stops you from removing the catch can if something happens? When you show up to the dealership it looks stock.

I will have to remove the catch can and put my stock intakes in. If I need any dealer Service

After a month of waiting, M&S splitter and skirts painted. 3 coats clear. The good news? ... NO CHARGE!!! Zack, the manager at Abra Auto Body said it took too long (ya think, lol!) He even threw in a box of VHB tape adhesion promoter! Zack's the man!!! ... got his card!

Gonna have to modify the skirts a bit to fit around the mud guards and puddle lights. Was a great Stinger day!

It fit perfectly. They look good to. I bought the whole set, fronts and back. I don't regret it.

My only regret so far was realising I couldve saved $48 by ordering them through Costco.ca...I found that out after I had already ordered through the tuxmat website.

I check Amazon and they are selling the floor mats for $210.30 with free shipping. The company website sells them for $248.50 plus $18.90 for shipping. total price 267.40. Therefore, that is an instant savings of $57.10. for US buyers.

When you're planning to install them?

 

[Rafa]

Splitter, side skirts, Eibach springs and sways, and JTs intake and my Stinger is done! ... until the warranty expires

Have you consider installing the carbon fiber spoiler S type? BTW you have a sweet ride. I like your mods. please don't hate if I copy some of your mods.

Thanks for the compliment Rafa. No worries about copying ... everything in life is copied! Not a big fan of CF on the extierior. Already have a spoiler I love. Rock on!

Within two weeks. Got to figure the mods neccessary to fit properly.
