Two Stinger sightings this weekend

[Jacques]

I posted the first one on the main board, but I'll repost here.

Friday sighting (morning): I saw the elusive white Stinger (I've been seeing this on and off for weeks) merging onto Eastbound Highway 70 from 5th Street, this time he (or she, their windows were tinted) weaved about to get to me, then creeped past me as he/she went past and I was exiting. Black wheels, aformentioned tint, I think no sunroof, no GT and AWD badging in back. Their LED headlights were on, so could be a Premium model.

Sunday sighting (late afternoon): as we were driving about going to Fathers Day dinner, I took a back way through Zumbehl, heading to the overpass to Hwy 70 eastbound. A black Stinger was going the opposite direction, but I didn't get to glance quick enough what kind it could be, or the driver for that matter. Was this you, @Duce_13 ?

@Jacques, I meet a guy on the Cars and Coffee page that has a White GT2.. we both work off the rock road and drove past each other a few weeks ago.. I do believe his windows are tinted..

His name is Jordan May

 

[Jacques]

^^^We should get him to come to the next C&C, and join our group too!

I saw two white stingers yesterday back to back on 270 N near the gravois rd exit. One with tiny the other with out.

 

[RandallK]

I spotted not 1 but 2 ceramic GT’s in the same parking lot off Winghaven/40 today around 3:30ish..

I went from have the only one in Missouri last February to this....

 

[Jacques]

^^^I thought I was the only other one besides you until now. Maybe I should've looked for Panthera Metal. This is my excuse to mod mine so it looks aesthetically different from stock.

Speaking of Ceramic Silver, saw one just now going the opposite direction on First Capitol, near Lindenwood. I was in the Sorento though.

 

[RandallK]

No sir, one had a temp tag dated July 14, so it was a freshie... My son spotted both before I did..

And come to the dark side... I can’t stop modding... lol... My final major mod is going to be rims and then I am done..

LOL, wish I could start modding sooner. First car payment AND registration at end of the month (ouch). The only mod I'm going to put on when I get a break is the Stinger trunk script/badge removal. Trying to hold firm on that "no mods for a few months" rule, but it's gonna be hard.

 

[Duce_13]

Agreed I only made it a few months because there were no mods when I got mine.

 

[RandallK]

The wife just sent me this.. She was behind it while driving home

 

[Jacques]

Dang, someone beat me to putting the Stinger script in the rear.

 

[RandallK]

I don’t have a single Stinger badge on my car.. I yanked everything and just have the Vintage K’s

 

[Jacques]

I'm still on the fence about the front, but I was going to swap out the rear Kia badge for the Stinger script. If I swap the front, it'll be the E badge. The wheels I can't decide, but then again, I'm going to go aftermarket wheels in the future, so may leave them be.

 

[RandallK]

I ended up doing the full badge swap... front, rear, steering wheel and rims...

I did the rims as they will be my winter set and want the consistency...

 

[RandallK]

Here is my next big purchase... hopefully this year, but we will see..

I am on the fence on which set..

 

[Jacques]

^^^I'm a sucker for split spoke wheels, so I like the second one. I'm at a dance competition, I'll post what I'm narrowing down to later.

 

[RandallK]

I am torn... I have loved 5 star rims for damn near 30 years now and have always wanted a set..

But i have a soft spot for split or multi-spoke..

[Jacques]

I like split spoke because I have that on my Prelude's street setup (RH Evo CP-35), and they're pretty light (16 lbs/wheel on 17s). Whatever wheel I go with, I want it to be lighter than stock.

 

[Jacques]

Here's the ones I've been looking at...
GFG wheels

ARK-270 wheels (in gunmetal, not this silver)

Niche M204 Vosso (in anthracite). I had this on my Optima in 18s.
