My Little Stinger "R" Project to date

[JimB]

I already have something worked out with my dealer and I'm sure if the car is right there are other such dealers

 

[Kamauxx]

You are Wrong about being sold as used there are several ways around that one of them is through a dealer, these parts can be purchased in bulk a lot cheaper than retail, and I'll restate did not a lot of people have the time necessary to do these cars themselves and would pay somebody to do it for them,

Just tossing the idea around and I'm trying to see what people have to say about the overall look of the car I haven't made any hard decisions on any of this yet

In that case I think it's a terrible idea and doubt you'll make any money. Are you married? I feel like you should talk to your spouse about these plans.

 

[DaJackson]

5 isn’t bulk.

But please prove me wrong and make lots of money.

 

[JimB]

well if you look at my bio here I'm already in business for myself

 

[JimB]

I guess maybe being a business owner isn't for you

 

[JimB]

this is getting way off subject with the purpose of this post and I don't feel like trading insults.

 

[JimB]

just here to get an overall feeling for the concept of the car with the people on his form

 

[Ivansito]

To be fair , can you explain what your plan are in terms selling Stingers? From what I gathered, it sounds as you plan to Start a Modded Stinger line that will be sold in dealerships. For example, the Ford F150 "Rausch" line?

 

[Ucinn]

Good luck and hope it all works out how you want. Innovative people make innovative changes. Henry Ford was probably told nobody would buy his stuff either because it was different from the norm.

 

[JimB]

thank you but it's not always about luck and you're opinion is been doing noted

 

[Manchuz]

I'm not sure about theTJON that you're talking about I'll have to Google that when I I'm off the road.

Use Chrome to translate, then scroll down to the TUON section.

That was a 5 car purchase at a time, components would be larger purchases. Yes, I was thinking along the lines of 20 units to start....and I wish I was Jack Roush. But, I have the ability to do this on a smaller level IF I thought I could make money at it. Business is all about numbers. And, unlike Kamauxx, I don't need my wife's permission to spend my money. And, I have enough that I don't have to worry about this endeavor if I chose to go that route.

The Tuon angle was something I hadn't seen yet but that car doesn't go as far as I would towards a Sport Luxury Stinger. The Carbon Fiber was exactly what I wanted with some subtle body kit such as the M&S on mine. I already have interior changes in the works.

I'm not here about business advice, I have that aspect down. I just think that the Stinger is a great canvas and that there might be a market for something similar to what I posted here. I am in the early stages of this and and I want to know what people think visually and what they would like to see if such a car existed. While Kia may actually decide to produce a Sport version as rumors here say, I have seen nothing to indicate substance. The whole concept with Stinger Haus was that dealers would buy those products and put them on showroom cars themselves to sell but dealers don't want to go through the trouble themselves. They have limited service resources and their costs soare much higher that the profit margin would not be feasible. My dealer has stated that he would definitely be interested and I have a feeling that sentiment will be shared by others IF the car is right.

Again, this post is about feedback and I look forward to more.

CF looks cool
I prefer laminated CF over "stickers" though

 

[Kamauxx]

And, unlike Kamauxx, I don't need my wife's permission to spend my money.

Wow, really dude? I wasn't saying to ask her for permission. I was saying ask her opinion, as her being your other half she might have something valuable to add. My wife has certainly cautioned me from making bad decisions a time or two. And I absolutely talk to her about car mods, financial decisions, haircuts, best ways to raise kids, what to eat for dinner, because I actually value her opinion.

But hey, also unlike me you have horrible taste and are ruining a beautiful car with cheap, tasteless, PebBoy's crap.

There's your feedback.

Will the cars be outfitted with real carbon fiber parts or are you considering just wrapping it like yours? Will there also be engine mods, intake, exhaust also added?

Dammmm....

On a serious note. We are only contributing to a thread which you created for opinions.

 

[JimB]

Real, the wrap is just because I didn't want to spend 10k on one-offs. My thoughts were to license the M&S pieces and have them made in CF, everything after the first set drops dramatically in price.

Sticks and stones Kamauxx.

 

[JimB]

Nothing here is hurting my feelings but business advice isn't what I need, I have that down pat. My responses were just answers to questions and statements that weren't really relevant to the post. I do have some great numbers that tell me that I can make money IF the car is wanted.

 

[ScottM]

I spit on your idea!!! I joke. What you'll do and what you are doing right now is getting grass roots feedback and how it looks. This will then, of course, give you an idea of what to expect. << That's the business side of what you are doing and that's the whole point of this thread of course (I'm Mr. Captain Oblivious).

In my opinion, I don't like it fully. I'm not a fan of the CF. BUT...I do like the parts! As in if the items were gloss black, I'd like it much better (that's me). What others have said is true as well. It's hard to put your thoughts and ideas into a car and then try to sell that car "as is" assembly line style (so to speak). I'd say that is especially true on a Stinger forum where everyone has there own tastes for a car they are passionate about. In any event, you wanted opinions and you are for sure getting them! Where's the popcorn emoji thing?

 

[JimB]

Been crying because I just got informed I ruined my perfectly good car with cheap PebBoy's crap and I must have paid all whole lot too much for it.

Thanks for the good feedback that's exactly what I'm looking for.
