Hi guys,
I recently sold my 2014 kia optima and got myself Stinger gt1...I'm looking forward to working with all of you to make the next car look unique and fast(optima was punching around 350 PS...before upgrading the turbo)
Have a great day

Congrats and welcome from a fellow Optima owner! I drive the hybrid versions exclusively for 3 versions and have now added a Stinger to keep her company. Only mod to that car are new tires and lowering springs, never did anything but tires to the others but this one felt good in sport mode and I wanted to take out some of the lean and now she feels better. Later will probably look for matching shocks/springs or coilovers that make her handle even better, if KIA doesn't bring something else me of the wife really wants.

As you are no stranger to modding, I'll assume you were also over on Optima Forums as well?

Welcome welcome I too have a gt1 and I personally love that grey color! My stinger is snow white but I have a soft spot for yours

Hello. That Optima looks really impressive. The lowered look had me staring at the wheels and wells, and for a long moment I didn't realize I was looking at an Optima and not a Stinger.

I'm sure your Ceramic Silver is soon going to look every bit as low down mean as the Optima. And of course, it will be a whole magnitude of faster ride.

I never thought that I would love kia cars as much as I do...I absolutely loved the optima and never imagined that there are so many aftermarket parts!
When I was selling it I was very upset bc even though it had 85k miles on it it was in perfect condition!!!outside inside and under the hood!the guy that i sold it to still is in contact we me and is super happy with it!
Kia is really improving their stats and cant wait to see what else they got in store in the future...

Thank you buddy!
I really enjoyed the optima...I had so many people asking me what kind of car it is bc they couldn't recognize it lol
I have to strategically plan the upgrades for the stinger...there is so much stuff already out there for it...lot of money to be spent hahah...
I'm researching coilover suspension for the car.I just don't know if the electronically controlled suspension that is currently on the car will be somehow compromised electronic wise if I put on coilover suspension...didn't get to understand how it all works yet

Thank you!!
I like the white color!but was concerned how fast it will look dirty...
I did like the yellow special color they had but thought it's slightly to flashy even to my standards hehe...
The cerqmic silver I hought would be a good compromise between different and not to outgoing..it does have red interior which I thought is cool...
Anyway thank you all for warm welcome!!
