too bad it's the wife's. Seriously though, thanks for the add. I'm retired Navy and I hope to meet some friendly people, and learn more about these beautiful cars.

Hi. Post pics. If you're retired, maybe you'll drive her Stinger more than she does.

Thanks all. I will post pics as soon as I can get some. Flameangel, the car is Panthera Metal. Sal, we traded in her 2014 KIA Optima EX. Before that she had a 2007 KIA Sedona, before that was a 2004 F-150. But wait... before that was a 2000 KIA Sephia. We've been KIA owners for 20 years and have seen them come a long ways, so the Stinger was a no-brainer!

Nothing, been that way since the day I picked it up new. Is it not supposed to be ... hmmm.
Now that you mention it I just looked at some googled photos and it isn't, time to talk to my dealer

Don't be, I'm glad you pointed it out. I always thought it was molded that way for a sensor or something. Dealer has some explaining to do

Thanks all! Its been hectic, and I keep forgetting to take a pic of her car, but this is it from the dealer ad.
EDIT: I have a pic that I took at the restaurant to show her I didn’t park close to anyone, but it’s not exactly flattering.

I was in 92-07. Retired medically as an OS1(SW) after a car accident. Thank you for your service!

And thanks to you
I left after 10 years, BT1(SW). Money was to good in the private sector. I do miss it it quite often though. From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...
