Hello! From VB, VA

[Skylark]

I bought my GT2 RWD Stinger last October, been periodically reading up on here about aftermarket parts and accessories. Always good information and people from what I can see. I moved from a 2017 Scion TC so big improvement.

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. I'm glad you found us. The Stinger GT is a nice upgrade from the Scion TC.

Thanks! I miss the manual but otherwise it's all smiles-per-gallon since I got it!

It’s definitely going to attract a lot more attention than the Scion. I’m sure you’ve already noticed…

Welcome! What part of VB you at? I was stationed out there from 2010-2014. Wife grew up there so we periodically drive/fly back to see family and friends. What mods are you looking to put in your Stinger too?

I'm over near Lynnhaven so I got the jets every day to remind me of freedom and taxes lol
I've already got a few sitting in boxes ready to go in, just gotta find time. Sway bars, AFE intake, ram snorkel, and just bought a JB4 so I'm excited to see the changes once they are all in!

Nice! We lived over by Little Creek and I lived just outside Oceana before I met my wife. Im installing my VT Snorkels today, got Injen intakes on, HKS plugs in and the Add W1 dual OCC. Hoping to get sways and a JB4 soon.

Nice! Lemme know how the snorkels go, thats what I have and I feel like the bumper removal and shroud and stuff make it more than the "30 minutes to an hour" install process that I saw on here.

So the snorkels werent terrible to be honest. I watched a few videos to make sure I know how to take off the bumper and set up the snorkels. I highly recommend setting everything up prior to so you know how you want to do the lit kit wiring. I did the same setup as KDM_Kurt too, made the overall wiring pretty clean. Also scoop the bottom of the bumper up when you put it back on to catch the undercarriage protecter. Makes reinstall much easier. Overall though took me about 2-2.5 hours, but Im not very experienced with wrenching on cars anymore. Last one I truly worked on was my old ‘95 240SX back in high school. Damn I miss that car…
