Not exaclty new, but hello anyway.

[Chrismal]

I have been lurking here following the forums for quite some time now.

Got my Micro Blue GT (base, RWD) about 2 years ago, Nov 21. For me it was the right compromise between performance, practicality and aesthetics. It really didn't replace anything per se, but kind of replaced the ex wife?

Up to this point no major mods to report, but a fair number of small appearance items, and a set of wheels. PPF, ceramic, tips, wrapped the mirrors and above the window trim. Have an appointment to do the grill and side vents next. Ceika coilovers are on the way.

I'm a gearhead and track guy, and am looking to do a weekend at road atlanta before the end of the year. This will help with my biggest concern with the car, and that is temp management. Have really appreciated some of Volfy's posts on his track experience.

Thanks for letting me lurk for so long.

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. I'm glad you found us and decided to come out of lurking! What did the Stinger replace for you?

Congrats and welcome! Best color in my opinion, but I'm of course biased. Also picked mine up in '21 except in December. I replaced an ex-wife as well (and a Scion xB but I don't count that since the real reason I can now afford the car is the prior). Haven't had much chance to do many mods although I'm picking up my first set of wheels next week.

Agree with bfglitch..definitely the best color . Congrats and welcome!!

let's have a 'pretty blue' virtual gathering. that's my wife's name for our blue premium. I have to admit that micro blue makes me stare.

Thanks all. I had read about this car prior to it being released, and was interested, then I saw one in person at a mall of all places in this color and loved it. I wasn't in the market for a car at the time.

Fast forward a couple of years and I decided to get one. Took a while to find exactly what I wanted, no sunroof and RWD in micro blue was what I wanted. Very happy with the car.

Welcome to the hive! Love the wheels what are they?

They are VS Forged VS12s. 19x9 +35 fronts and 19x10.5 +45 in the back.

Hey Chrismal !

Welcome to the forum! I also have a Micro Blue Stinger GT! I love the metallic flake in the paint on this spec. Its what drew me to the color.

Nice modifications so far to your build. I like that you didnt go with black wheels like everyone else these days do. Those wheels accent the blue paint nicely!

If you're ever in need of any performance or cosmetic modifications, check us out at www.K8StingerStore.com !

Enjoy the ride!
