[Kia Stinger]

Hi Everyone,

Just bought a Kia Stinger GT Limited today ! Pretty excited. I take ownership in early to mid April. Purchased it brand new in ghost grey with black Napa interior.

I’m located in Ottawa, Canada so thankfully I will get the car post pot hole season lol.

I’ve already booked it for a Cermic coat protection package. The 8-10 year pacakage (so lots of layers). That’s the first thing I do with any car I buy. Already purchased the black carbon front and rear emblems and the stinger writing for the trunk so plan on a full rebadging upon delivery. Also purchased the oil catch can because you all were so helpful in recommending it. Probably invest in some coil overs and more aggressive wheels come summer. But going to do some reading into the current dampening and see if messing around with is worth it. Obvious small stuff like drop ins like short ram intakes, wider down pipes (probably custom), larger inter cooler probably. We’ll see as time progresses. Pretty stoked to see what aftermarket parts are available.

Looking forward to catching up on the threads.

Thanks for welcoming me.

Welcome aboard, @Walid El-Tawel! Thank you for signing up. Congratulations on your brand new Stinger GT! Well, I know you have a bit of a wait - but you know what they say - good things come to those who wait... What will your Stinger be replacing?

Thanks for the welcome message ! Yea it will be replacing a Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5 se-r. Had a pretty extensive modifications list. 8 years of modifying it. Will be sad to see it go. Worked on it a lot. Had it slammed, cambered, tuned, the works. Lot of time and money went into it. I don’t know if i’ll Go that crazy with the stinger but it’s nice that it comes with so much already. Getting older. Priorities change lol. Will always have nice wheels and coil overs and some basics like cold air intakes and diffusers but not much beyond that.

For winter I got Blizzaks which I have been pretty happy with on other vehicles. My 4 banger was an '06 Acura TSX (loved that car). Fastwheels FC-04 fit over the brembos and come in two colours, both of which I was able to "try out" on my car, lol.

Yes they fixed the hatch rattle through a TSB. Easy fix. When you say black carbon badges, will it still say KIA?

Hey clearly where did you get your rims at in Edmonton? And how much for blizzaks and rims? I pick my stinger up at Sherwood Kia tomorrow.. and will need a winter wheel package.. and which color did you end up going with.. I think black will look the best on my white stinger.. thanks !!

I bought the rims and tires from the dealer as part of the overall deal for about $2500.

I ended up going with black, which is a gloss black. I like the titanium a lot as well though.
