New GT1 RWD Owner - Finally Got It!

[FokalPoint]

Hey Everyone,

New Stinger owner, but long time car enthusiast. After several practical car purchases with budget in mind, after years of impractical and expensive car purchases, I have finally wound up behind the wheel of a 2019 Kia Stinger GT1 RWD in Ceramic with Red/Black Interior.

I haven't had a chance to take proper photos of it yet, so here are the dealer pics and some iphone photos. Once i've had a chance to take some proper photos I'll upload them to the owner threads.

"Proper photos"? Well, that will be something, these already look good. Welcome!

Congrats on the buy! Also just recently bought mine a month ago. Same trim and color. Absolutely in love with the car!

Haha thanks! Can't take credit for the dealer photos though.

I'll try to get some pics this weekend during my trip to Orange County.

Did the DIY Intake Mod, detailed the car, and took some photos along the way. 2020 miles on the car and tons of fun so far.

Thanks for the welcome message! I’ve been checking out your store a lot, tons of stuff on there I’d love to get but can’t decide whether or not I wanna dump tons of money into this like I did my past builds haha

Awesome clean except the badges congrats!

 

[Stinger-Performance]

Congrats, I'm in the same position, picking mine up in a couple days.

Awesome clean except the badges congrats!

Sorry, don't know what you mean by badges? The most recent pics have new GT wheel badges and front Stinger badge.

Just ordered some new wheels to give the stinger some more bite and aggression.

Used an awesome calculator that was preset by one of our members to confirm fitment before ordering. The calculator also accounted for the future Eibach lowering springs as well so if you have stock suspension your fitment will be even safer, but I plan on doing Eibach soon

Detailed my car this weekend now that it's finally cooling off here in Arizona. Used the two bucket method to wash it and then full coating of Mother's CMX Ceramic Spray coating, including the wheels and brake calibers. Keeps the car looking wet and provides a deep shine. Super hydrophobic too making it even easier to keep clean.

I actually thought I had taken some but I guess I didn't unfortunately.
