Hello ladies and gentlemen. Purchased a 2019 GT2 AWD with 13k miles about 3 weeks ago. So far I've added JB4, BMS Intakes, OCC, Strut bars, billet oil stick, HKS plugs, hardwired blackvue dr900s 2-channel dashcams, hardwired escort redline 360c radar detector with escort zr5 front and rear laser shifters and G70 sport wheels. Ordered accessorides remote start today. Can't wait to get that installed. Was bummed out to hear that a $54k flagship unit didn't come with connected services that are available on $20k optimas.
Oh, and I also rebadged all the kia badges with stinger badges. Any Stinger clubs in the Tampa Bay area? Would love to meet up with a few locals!

Welcome. Holy, you don't mess around !! You mod'd the Tzaziki out of it !! :cool:

I'm in for hanging out for some Saganaki, break some plates and Stinger chat, but I'm in Canada.
Maybe when I'm down there to visit Fam in Pr. St. Lucie/Orlando area. But I'll not have my Stinger with me.
I'll rent yours ? OPA !! :)
 
Congrats and welcome!!

I have a trip to Orlando planned for 3 nights when the commi b@stards in Gov. stops their criminal lockdowns.. we were gonna fly (Visa Points for free) and rent local car. Save the kms on the car. We get 100K kms bumper to bumper up hear only..
The wife's 2.5L Legacy would be the economical choice for long road trip. :-)
I'm taking Stinger to Ohio next chance and go to the drag strip with cousins in Cleveland :-) Only 5 hours from me.

Dino, I assume you use windex to clean your car ? Haa.

Of course!
 
Hi. What made you change from a G70 to a Stinger?

Your pics predate your badge swaps. :D Haven't you been keeping up with documenting your changes?

Stinger Emblem in the front looks great, which is my intention, and to put the round E emblem on the rear left.. I'll have to cut of the posts on the back so it'll be flat for sticking on...
Still on the fence about putting it side ways, so it matches my Spartan Molon Labe helmet logo on the rear glass... :-)
As the other video I posted says, kinda looks more like a Viking helmet, than a Greek Spartan, but close
enough... Haha...

Clever. That is what you were on about, "sideways". It's not "Viking" either, unless you mean fantasy Viking. But after the "300", any fantasy flourishes in this genre are on the table.
 
Hey Dinothegreek,

Welcome to the Stinger forum and congrats on your Stinger GT2!

I love the color combo with the blacked-out wheels it looks super aggressive.

See you around,
Daniel @ the K8 Stinger Store​
