2023 Stinger GT2 Grand Tourer Package

[Ridley67]

Hello! New to the group here and a WOMAN Stinger owner, have no idea if that's an acronym for anything but I am 100% female . Thought I would give a heads up to anyone looking at the 2023 GT2's. If you're wanting the spoiler and carbon fiber trim, it's not on the 2023 models with the Grand Tourer Special Edition package. This package replaced the Scorpion package on the 2022's. I had been casually looking and had decided to wait and get a 2023 because there were not any cars in my area with the Scorpion package and my local dealer wanted 8% over msrp for a used car. I went on Kia's website last month and panicked when I saw those options were gone and started desperately looking for a 2022. I'm in the St. Louis area and found one in Chicago! We closed the deal over the phone and drove the 4.5 houea up there to pick it up that weekend after my husband worked all night, he definitely loves me! I love my car and so glad we made the purchase! I will upload pics soon! Nice to meet everyone!

I had it put on at the dealership! Probably should have had it done elsewhere but I wanted something on it right away.

Oh ok, hopefully they applied it before their car wash guys got the chance to install some swirls!

At least you didn't say GIRL (Guy In Real Life).
Another new member made that mistake recently.

That's why I put woman! Honestly, I had no idea that girl meant guy in real life!

I didn't mind until it was 100 degrees outside!

For us deep in the desert, that is a 2-3 hour wide window.
