New Car Questions

[smmrfld]

Thank you, would you mind humoring me/us with a pic? Does it cover any of the bumper or just the small lip in front of the liftgate?

As for the ventvisors, I have contacted weathertech to see about them offering their in-channels. They look really nice and if you have tint, they match to the tint so it looks even better. Will post up if I hear back from them. The Stinger is still new, they are still creating products for it.

Looks just like this pic from the Kia website.

Sadly that seems to be the only picture out there! I'm curious as well to see an overview shot to see how is compares to the PPF strip I had put on.

Yes, that pic is all I have found but it is so close up you cannot see what it covers, how it looks with car, etc.

Here you go...

Thank you very much, that gives a completely different perspective! So it does extend down the bumper. Really wish someone offered something metal, or black. Metal would have to be molded to the form but would look nice. They make them for other Kias, so why not the Stinger?

That would not have saved the bumper from the closing garage door.

The reason why the Stinger doesn't have protection extending across the top of the bumper is because it would look ugly on this car. Imho.

What are you talking about? It's a scratch/scuff applique.

Other thread. But it's still true. The gouge went right across the outer edge of the bumper. Even metal "plating" would have been scored by that damned dropping garage door.
