New Stinger Owner and a Detailed Catalog of all Modifications

[Tee]

Hello all,

I recently took ownership of a used 2020 Kia Stinger GT2 in Snow White Pearl with the red interior package. I spent roughly three months looking for the right price/mileage/package and over that time I was anomalously browsing this forum finding and following everything I wanted to do to the car. I found that there is a lot of information about a lot of topics spread out throughout a lot of users and guides. My hope in my build is to catalog everything I do to the car including maintenance and modifications. In the event I take the car somewhere for work I will make sure to detail what was done to the car and the location I had the work done. Pictures below are how she is starting her journey with me (please excuse the rain as it has been nonstop here in northern jersey since I took possession of the car).

Nice car. That's the generation that really put Kia on the map for many people. Nothing wrong with KDM!

If you like keeping good records, check out the Autosist app. You can enter your VIN, lic plate, insurance info, etc so its always handy. Also maintenance records, photos of receipts, notes, fuel logs, reminders, etc. I even have my riding mower set up in the app LOL

Hello there. Rain looks good on a car that looks as clean as yours in those pics. I look forward to reading about your projects.

First modification in the books. Got 20% ceramic tints all around including the sunroof (obviously excluding the windshield). Super nice guys over at Revolution Tints in Newark, NJ. In terms of upcoming modifications, I have a remote starter on order from MyKeyPremium and am working on a cool integration into ambient lighting with the the Benz LED vents (SKStinger did this first and I'm still under the newcomer probation so I cannot post a link to his guide) and custom footwell LED strips.

White looks clean, looks really good with black accents, black wheels, etc imo. I gave some thought to white but if you've seen a base gt in white, without the sunroof, it's just way too much white for me. Obviously with the gt1/gt2 it's not an issue.
