Welcome to the knowledge base. You definitely got a sick looking car. I have that same spoiler, just haven't gotten around to mounting it yet.

Wow, you’ve been busy to say the least. Looks great. BOV’s and/or Velossa tech lit snorkels in your future? Sway bars?
I swear the Seibon trunk deck lid sets the car off. Loving mine.

Welcome! I see you’ve been with us for almost two years now. I’m glad you decided to materialize! And I’m glad you found us. What did the Stinger replace for you?

 

[ChaneRZ]

Nice looking car!

Welcome to the knowledge base. You definitely got a sick looking car. I have that same spoiler, just haven't gotten around to mounting it yet.

Thanks! Yeah, the trunk carbon stuff wasn't too bad to install. Especially considering I hadn't done anything like that before and I only had the car for a few weeks at the time. The spoiler was painless though it required patience to remove the stock one. The garnish, I had to modify the clip holders with a Dremel to get the stock clips to fit. All in all, turned out better than I hoped!

Glad to be here! I traded in a 2015 Mustang GT Premium with performance pack. I had the level 2 engine performance kit. Basically the GT350 intake and throttle body with a Ford Performance tune. I had done a bunch of stuff to that, but it was time for a "family car". I knew I still needed the performance and power. Really, the Stinger was the only option and I fell in love with them when they were first released. So far, I love the car, and can't wait to try out the JB4!

Thanks! Yeah, next on the agenda is sways, some chassis bracing, and the ATQ collars. Shortly after, I'll be speaking with a local driveshaft shop to have a custom 1-piece aluminum (or maybe carbon) driveshaft fabricated and installed. At that point, I'll be done with the drivetrain weight reduction. The brakes were first and the wheels second. HUGE difference in handling and acceleration with the brakes and wheels, and the JB4 isn't even in the car yet!

The ATQ collars will definitely help the car feel more cohesive and premium. I 1st felt the ride improve after having the ATQ collars installed.

Yeah, I was on the fence with those. Some say they're great, others that they didn't feel a difference. I was going to do them anyway, since the cost was low and seems pretty easy. Glad to know they're working out for you! Makes me more excited to start that piece of the project.

The trunk thing isn't my jam, but the rest looks good.

 

[MerlintheMad]

Welcome into the open. You are a modders modder, a candidate for king of the modders. Hah. Everyone has to have a "third place" to spend their creative thought, energy and meditation. Cars with performance capabilities seem to be yours. (My stock Stinger is my third place. Some of us are easier to please, or, I haven't been bitten by that bug yet, the future is unwritten ......)

Slick!

Are the pros recommending to change out the coil packs with the new HKS plugs?

I wonder if OP got anywhere with that.
