New Stinger Owner

[22WhiteStinger]

Stopping in to say hi! Just got a 22 Kia Stinger GT2 RWD. I had a 2023 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Jailbreak and traded it in due to a growing family.

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. I'm glad you found us. Congratulations on your new Stinger GT! How are you liking it, so far, compared to the Hellcat? I know you gave up a lot of power, but I don't think you'll be missing much more than that...

Yes Ill miss the power but I didn't really use all the power on a frequent basis. I dont track or anything. The stinger is just as fun to drive in my opinion.

I had a feeling you'd say that. The best thing about the Hellcat is the extreme power it had - but you rarely every use that in a daily driver. You can enjoy the amenities offered by the Stinger basically every moment you're driving...

Power. Even though less in the Stinger, you will seldom use it either. I can't even imagine what I would do with 700-800+ HP, going to only the rear wheels. In a daily.

I've got a white 2023 GT Elite (Canadian). I think the GT2 is equivalent, but not sure. Mine is the fully loaded AWD 3.3 etc.
Looking at your pic, I'd get the factory mud flaps (they are not intrusive, but add to the look), as well a nice lip spoiler on the trunk lid.
Again, nothing crazy, but just something to give it a little flair. It looks like you already have window tint, which I do on every car.

I like the spoiler for sure! Where did you get it

Amazon (canada). Lots to choose from. I like the carbon fibre look, so that's what I chose.
I also replaced the (fake) hood vents and front fender vents with carbon fibre units. I didn't like the shiny black too much.

Great shot of the blue plastic trim removal tool. Should be in everybody's tool kit.

Haha. So true. I bought a trim kit from Amazon a while back, and it has been great. Lots of different trim removal tools.
I use it as well to pop those black plastic hold down pin things (not sure what they're called). Came in handy when I removed my front bumper.

Did the same when I fitted the Dash Cams though I got mine from a company called "Repco" Auto Parts here which has been around for decades.

I think those pins are called "scrivets"- Screw Rivets

Welcome to the Stinger community @22WhiteStinger & congrats on getting your new ride.

The Dodge Challenger Hellcat Jailbreak is definitely quick, but the Stinger can also be as well.

Let us know if there is anything we can help you find to personalize your new Stinger a bit.
