What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

1st post here friends <3
I installed protective mesh for the side vents in my 22 Scorpion I just bought. Don't need any gravel getting lodged or damaging paint upon exit. Surprisingly the vents are different sizes so be aware of that if you do this too!

^^^Yeah, we never did resolve the question of different sized vents. Bringing that up again, maybe somebody knows now?

Oh? I'm new so don't know what all was going on, what can I help with friend? I just finished this up like an hour ago!

Just the trivial question of why the holes are different sizes. Curious minds want to know.

Oh ha ha ha, I was curious about that too when I was working on the vents! The passenger side has a white clip or something in the way on the frame that keeps the vent extending higher compared to the other side as can see in my pic but I didn't really inspect it closely the driver side had a lotta empty space with a few wrapped wires which provided plenty o' room for a nice vent entrance. But yea don't know the functional cause to a smaller vent on the passenger side unfortunately!

Bought from another forum member a while back, I actually have had them but never installed on my previous 2018. He must have been the first to own, there's a note from Jonny on the back side of the covers.

Started working on the free of charge dealer induced scratches after specifically asking them not to wash it! Got the hood, front bumper and fenders polished and a 6H temporary ceramic coating on. Windows polished and coated. I definitely underestimated the amount of time to do a 2 step paint correction. She’s looking pretty good now though I think!

Dyno'ed my Babe this morning. I am happy as all get out! Ditched the catch cans and hit that 500 finally! Huge love to @lap3usa and everyone in the DMV KDM group and beyond. You can hear me at the end of the video screaming happy joy!!

Now... what's next?!?!?

For that matter by now maybe someone cares.

I finally got my stinger back after it being out of action for 2 months due to needing a motor replacement. I can do a full write up if anyone wants it.

Yes, please do so! Cause of engine fail? How's that Tork stage 1 TCU tune?

The engine did not fail, thats the kicker. also, the TCU tune is fantastic, easy to use, hard to master.

Where do I start? Well, I guess I will start from the beginning. If the first parts of this post seem familiar, its because I had posted this 2 months ago, and saved a copy of it before I had the admins here remove it. Note, it will be adjusted slightly due to the time that has passed. So...

I got a few things done a few weeks ago such as the Eibach Pro lowering springs installed plus the MBRP Pro SS exhaust. Here are a few before and after pics of the ride height and the CF oval tips which came with the exhaust I bought from another Stinger owner!! Some of the pics are not the best quality though.

Nothing major...but noticed the trunk thunk starting to appear, so I fixed it.

^^Home made solution or the kia repair kit?

Car looks like mine but cleaner. I still find it weird when I see the Kia on the back of a Stinger. Most that I see are either 2019 or newer (like mine) and have the Stinger script on the back stock or they swapped it out for any number or the other badges.
