What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

[NS_Stinger]

What a helpful bunch we are haha

I thought about my stinger today, a lot, while I sat on my ass at work with absolutely nothing to do. 2000 miles away from it, which is getting painted still. Refreshed this forum every 20 minutes for about 9 hours straight. Bought some floor jacks and stands for future projects, as well as a cover. I miss my stinger.... Combined with an entire week at work without doing any work at all, depression is setting in!

How did it turn out?

Looks like brand new. The spot where I was having it debadged that’s where the paint chipped off cause I was using a chemical which I wasn’t supposed to use.

Ah ok. I’m in the sunset yellow group. Happy I had the idea to call them and tell them not to put any badges on when the paint is done. They said bring in the new badges and they’ll throw them on for me!

Funny thing is. When I brought mines in. The left lower stinger badge, I removed. Once I received my car back. There was a new badge in place... ‍ Smh I was thinking to myself, they could have done the badges for me. I had the Korean badges in possession already, just that I was scared to give it to them due to the fact the reason my paint was chipping in the first place is cause of my first time failing to debadge

Do you have the Kia Bi-Modal Exhaust fitted?

 

[Luminary]

Got her back last night from the bodyshop. The rear looks perfect! They did a great job fixing the paint from under the original badge.

Before:


After:




I used a local bodyshop and Matt was very nice, listened and did a great job. He even filled in the post holes before paint. I highly recommend them. If you are in Gainsville, Culpepper or Warrenton Virginia and need body/paint work, look em up. MCB Customz in Warrenton.

My Stinger is looking good.
