What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

[Gordo]

Lots of work to add a little badge. No hopefully the bumper goes back on as easily as it came off.

I put one of those on my Optima. It was a PITA to install on there too. I don't think Kia likes us putting stuff on their grilles.

Looks good.

3M tape works great too ..........................but I digress ...............Bumpers go back on easily !!

 

[cncBilly]

Yup. I used 3M, took about a minute, 20 seconds to lineup 40 seconds to press and hold. However taking the front-end off to do the job would've certainly made me feel like I deserved the cold beer upon completion.

Had to get this little beauty pulled yesterday morning. The onboard tire (tyre) pressure system worked great at detecting the problem. Pull into the lot at the club 35/36psi came out a few hours later and drving home notice back right 29 psi. Next morning 15psi, fortunately Northshore Tire is just around the corner from me. 25 minutes and 40 bucks later she was good to go.

Did the badge come with its own clamps or what exactly? You should take pics of the mounting.

I've often wondered how big a Canadian 5c piece is. Thank you for providing that screw for scale comparison!

Now that you have the front-end removal mastered........Time for the Velossa Tech Big Mouths.

 

[MerlintheMad]

I think @Gordo has those already.

I think @Gordo has those already.

Then one would think he would have known the ease at which it goes back on and not said "hopefully the bumper goes back on as easy as it as it came off".

However maybe he paid for the VT install.

I believe that is the case. Unless I am misremembering and he doesn't have the intakes or whatever those big mouth (usually red?) things are called.

Not a car guy, I repeat. But I have seen them behind the top grill.

Yeah, the bumper went back on really easily.

you can see his "bumperless car " in the first pic , on the right side , in behind ..................no Velossa's there

The badge just has a back plate, threaded screws, washers and nuts to attach it. I don’t see any other way to attach it well without removing the bumper.

Wish I would have bought the Velossa’s. That was the first thing that came to my mind once I had access to that area. Next order for sure.

I have the K&N intakes and filters but not the Velossa big mouth inlets. That’s a different part. It will be the next thing going on

For sure! Those would look great.

Thanks Kamauxx. I liked how it turned out. Adds a little flare to the front end.
