Guess I should finally say hello

[upstateStinger]

Hi everyone,
I've been lurking around these forums for close to 2 years. Thought I'd finally make a post. I bought a pearl white, red interior 2019 RWD GT1 from carvana back in 2020 for a pretty good price. About 3k less than my local dealers were offering me. I just hit 30k miles and so far no issues. I do get some creaking noises but I'm used to driving a wrangler so not too bothered by noise lol. Even with a few minor nuisances this car is crazy fun. It's terrifyingly fast and fun to surprise the V8 guys with it.
Anyway, most of the reason I'm making this is thank all of you. I've learned so much here. So much knowledge being shared. It's all been a huge help. I've done a few bolt ons and have done all the work myself so far. I definitely could not have done it without this forum.
So far I've done:
JB4 w/ fuel wires + plugs
BMS intake
BMS intercooler
Bms Wmi (not installed yet)
Eibach sways front and back
OCC
Gloss black spoiler(to cover a scratch I made by being dumb)
Next year planning to get new wheels.
Year after that I want to get an ecu tune.

Lurking and confessing, both good for the soul. Welcome into the open.

Well welcome aboard, officially! I'm glad you found us and I'm glad our little community has helped! What vehicle did your Stinger replace?

Thanks all!

Stinger didn't replace anything. It's my summer/fall baby. Have a wrangler for the more harsh weather.

Welcome. No pics ?!

Ah you're right! Here's a few from after my ceramic coat and a couple taken in my work's parking lot.

Thank you! We are the same now. I just finished installing the wmi kit. Was a lot easier than I was expecting.

Nice. How’s it running? Do some logs yet?
AWDGT2 is pretty proficient with WMI settings in the JB4. Hit him up with logs and I bet he would be happy to help, if you need it.
