What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

Installed slightly used BMS intakes with red filters. I still have to play with the fitment a bit as I rushed working in the cold/dark last night but loved the noises dropping off the ball of flesh at daycare this morning.
 
Finally debadged since I decided to keep my car long-term and installed my 1st ever vanity plate. Started Thanksgiving weekend and finished today.
Also added 35% tint recently - legal route since NC requires inspection but def would love darker.
B is for my 1st name and play on Stinger Bee...not the other B lol

Over the past 3 weeks, I've installed the Ark Legato hood, Aero hood pins, hood struts from ImportShark, and vinyl along the hood edges.

I'm not a 'car guy', so I didn't notice until yesterday that the hood isn't fitting the greatest. I don't know if it was like this when just the hood was installed, or if it has something to do with putting in the pins/struts.

Also, I'm wishing I would have only wrapped the very outside of the hood so that the black pins weren't inside the orange area. It looks like a smiley face--2 eyes, black nose, and grill for the mouth.

At least everybody knows you have a happy car!

My hubby says you should put two teeth hanging down from the grill!
 
Tinted my taillights myself using Vvivid Air-Tint.
Today I tinted my rear side markers and did my 2nd oil change at 6,223 miles. Tried to take advantage of the nice weather (60 degrees and not raining) since its going to drop to 30s rest of the week and will probably stay cold for a while.

You didn’t have to touch intakes and exhaust correct?

Nah, I put those on first and the car has been in twice. I asked my service manager specifically when I bought the car about intakes and intercooler. He said unless the install directly caused a mechanical failure, in his eyes it doesn't void anything. He said letting more air in and cooling more efficiently doesn't justify a red flag what so ever. Now... that was MY dealership and service manager. They may vary.
 
Got my M&S type G spoiler on tonight. These things should come stock. They look so good IMO. Crossing fingers it stays on haha5C44E334-BD47-4D7D-A579-4A4D8A156AED.jpeg

Installed a Magnaflow cat-back system. Really glad I went this route. The inside has a little deeper sound, with no drone and the outside wakes up at WOT. Then I had a complete front nose clip bra installed with Sensha 8 year Ceramic coating applied. I also installed a JB4 tuner
