If its lowered, aftermarket wheels, Kia Motors badge on the front it could be my old car.

You changed the car?

Good ol cary hendrick, thats where i bought mine from

At least this time I didn't have to deal with Carl as my service advisor. That guy was not good.

When I picked up my car I was able to find yours on the side of the used car building. I must say I didn't see the appeal of lowering the car until I saw that in person really does look nice. Were you also running larger rims/tires?


Now I just have to go back on Monday for them to take a look at the top of my hatch with the paint peeling. At least they were able to plug my rear tire that was leaking.

Traded it in a couple of weeks ago. It was for sale at Leith BMW until a few days ago when the ad was removed from Autotrader. I'm hoping it was sold to someone from out of town.

I think I know the one you're talking about. I've seen it there before. It's similar to the one I had but not the same. I think it belongs to someone at the used car dealership next door. Here's a pic of the one I had.

Hendrick Kia in Cary has a GTS in the back if you wanna take a look. Orange looks better in person than I thought it would based on pictures. Just wish it had the GT2 tech.

They have an orange one sitting inside the used showroom.

Raleigh area looking at the possibility of changing out the hood and trunk badges, but I don't don't have the confidence to do it myself. Where can I take it to get it done.

I'm going to do mine myself, but the PPF installer I got a quote from said he would have no problem doing them for me, at $25 per. If he's good enough to install vinyl wraps, I figure he's good enough to do badges. Check around for tint and vinyl installers, if you haven't taken care of it already.

Durham here just picked it up last week

Very nice. Looks great I was at the Hickory NC Kia dealership last week and they have a awd GTs on the lot currently. Tempted so I did not go out to the lot and check it out

Did you buy it at University Kia? The one they had was absolutely stunning. I really liked the color.

South Raleigh here. Picked up a black GT2 on Friday.

Does anyone around the Raleigh area have a non-stock exhaust? I will be shopping for a new exhaust to replace the stock one and I would love to hear some in person to see how different they sound.

Has anyone in the Raleigh area had PPF done? There are a bunch of different shops that offer it, but I'd like to know if anyone has had theirs done around here.

Every time I buy a new car, I start noticing others driving the same car. As a new Stinger owner, I didn’t expect this to happen but lo and behold Christmas Day I saw two Stingers within 5 minutes on a 7 mile drive to see family. Then just yesterday I saw a yellow Stinger in scenic downtown Fuquay Varina. Southwest Wake is turning into Stinger Central.

Fayetteville, Silver GT2. I spend a lot of time in Elizabeth City also.

Tint world in Cary has experience doing some stingers. I wanted to get a full car vinyl wrap and a full car PPF and was quoted around 9k. They remove panels and make sure the wrap will last. They have pretty good reviews. The guy that owns the place is from Buffalo NY so he might give you a discount if you say you were from there. He was going to give me a discount if I pulled the trigger because I was from the same area he was.
