Oh hi, I'm Jason and just joined after reading a LOT on this forum, and after receiving the welcome message from Sal, I figured I had to say hello as requested. I'm from New Zealand and just locked in my Stinger GT in Ceramic Silver/Ghost Grey. was lucky to get that colour as they don't really offer it here in NZ but i fell in love with it when i saw it online. I pick it up on the 24th April, so pretty eXcited! I also just ordered the stinger script for the back, E badge for the front, and GT wheel cap covers from the store here! To be honest it said I would get a chance to review my order before finalizing it but when I clicked neXt it said my order was confirmed! oh well, done now . Also, anyone want to buy an Evo X? lol its my current fun car and haven't sold it yet despite needing the $ badly. P.S. my X key is broken so i have to type it in capitals... sorry about that.

Welcome aboard, Jason! And thank you for signing up. Congratulations on your brand new Stinger GT! Good luck sleeping over the next couple of weeks! Oh and thank you very much for your order. I will definitely check into that issue where your order was apparently placed before you could approve it. I've never heard of such a thing but who knows? In any event, I'm glad you found us...

Thanks for the reply! Good luck sleeping for the next couple of weeks?! I have barely slept since I knew it was possible for me to get it for a company car! Yeah I guess if I wasn't definitely getting the car, it would be frustrating for the emblem order to go through before confirmation. It was through the PayPal checkout if that helps?

Welcome to the forums!

Man the last year of the Evo... what a fun car but moving to the Stinger was a smart move! Other than badges what other plans do you have for your Stinger?

haha yes a lot of fun in the Evo. Problem is it costs a fortune to run, but Stinger is a company car so everything covered there! The only downside to the Kia for me is the gearbox... will really miss a manual, wish they offered one. Well the car is coming with the bi-modal exhaust so I guess that counts as something? But as a company car im pretty limited in my mod options - the badges are probably pushing it already lol.. maybe tints?

Yes, purchased it at Giltraps North Shore as they gave me 700 more for my trade than Kia Hamilton. Must say that that the wow factor is still there for me. Loving the car...Had tints and a removable tow bar installed and are just waiting for some new reversing light bulbs to arrive so I can upgrade to something a bit brighter.

Oh, v nice man! Would have been worth the drive to and from H Town for sure . Good to hear it's still fun further down the track! I didn't realize i could get tints as a factory option - is it like fully tinted glass or they just put a film over it like aftermarket tints?

No used tint tech in Hamilton 35% charcoal aftermarket film. Used them because they are really fussy with the details
