Hi all, new Stinger 2.0L!

[Zero2]

Hi everyone, I just recently leased a base model Stinger in South Florida. I plan on jumping to the GT as soon as this lease is up, but I'm really loving this car so far and it's a huge upgrade from my '15 Forte EX.
It was kind of amazing how things worked out. I went to the dealership with the intention of getting a white 2.0L Stinger but there was none at all at the dealership or anywhere near me. They mentioned one would arrive within the next week or so, and to all of our surprises, not even 5 minutes later the truck rolls up with the car! Took it home right after PDI was done.

Welcome aboard! That is quite the story! Dealer didn’t want extra for using the flux capacitor?

Would you be so kind as to count your speakers? I've developed a curiosity about how the nine speaker base Stingers and GTs are arranged. Some seem to have subwoofers under the front seats, and yet the Kia description of the location of the speakers does not mention subs.

Oh, and welcome!

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. Congratulations on your brand new Stinger! That's a really nice upgrade from the Forte!

Hi welome to the forum.

Hello and welcome! Wish I could get that lucky, the dealers in my area are quick to slap pin stripes on them and I would love one without the pin stripes. Getting it right off the truck would be a great thing. Curious though, what was the build date of your car?

Can't you just peel the pin strips off? They were on my car when I first saw it but I think it added a nice touch.

Haven't messed with it since the first time I tried it broke and looked like it was going to be a pain to get off.

I'm glad mine had them when I picked out the car. There very small but breaks up all that red....

It was in 1982.

 

[Paul32]

It was in 1982.

But not on your Formula 400.

No, not on my cars. But on mom’s Grand LeMans and Córdoba, yes.

No mods, well, aside from adding a personal flourish here and there; but that's not what you mean. To quote from my post above:
