What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

That’s the red I was going for or closer to the side vinyl I have on the Side. Either that deep medium red or just wrap them gloss black. Yes the Brembo red calipers are a medium deep red. I’ll try to find that color or my side vinyl red piece color. And ps I can’t help where I park at at work lol just wanted to take a few pics lol

I personally think you're both missing the mark, it needs to be a reflective candy apple red so it matches the reflectiveness of the paint above and below it.

You think this red matches it ?

we wouldn't really know till you post pictures of it in person, but if its more reflective than what you have now and closer to the reflectiveness of the paint, I think it would look good.

Yeah trying to find the right red has been an issue. I’ll leave it alone until Saturday and have my wrap guy take a look and see what he thinks

From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...
Verified that the Rokblokz front splash guard fits on the M&S Force V2 side splitter (and probably most splitters) :) keeping some functionality with form. Stinger is filthy after weeks of rain, but it always feel like washing cars is like offering a sacrifice to appease the rain gods in Houston.

Front OEM splash guards will not fit with the side splitter due to the way they install.

Edit- on a side note, any one try the General G-MAX RS summer tires with their Stingers? I used them on an Acura TL-S for 15k miles and they were a quite solid budget sticky option. Felt like 85% of a Michelin PSS/PS4S at 70% of the cost.

Finally just blacked out the M&S front vent hole covers and oem hood vent covers. I like it a lot better than the red lol next up chrome delete for upper and lower grille and I’m done with cosmetics.

A bit of a tune today. Sorry, the text is in Czech, but the numbers should make sense to everyone :)

258,7kW (347HP) stock to 310,2kW (416HP)
561,5Nm stock to 624,6Nm

All this on 95 octane, kinda forgot that I should fill up on 100 octane and my tank was already full .. meh.
Hi,
I am from Czech R. I have bought one piece a half year ago. Is everything ok after the chip?
 
Didn't do anything necessarily but it's amazing how amazing my car is in the snow. We had about 15-20" of snow over a two day period. Handled everything like a champ. Not sure if it's the car or just the tires (Blizzaks) but it's AMAZING! Did I mention how amazing it is?
 
awd is pretty worthless on summer tires in the crud so yes it is also the tires.

My car didn't come with the Pilots, came with 19" Michelin Primacy all seasons, which I did run one winter. But yeah, I love the Blizzaks, run em on our Jeep Grand Cherokee in the winter as well. Sooooo much better than the stock ones.

It’s a fantastic car. I test drove one. Pretty quick, but just not quick enough. Everything else is better than the Stinger, but more expensive too.
I traded in a more expensive vehicle for the Stinger. I think it is as good or better than many higher priced vehicles.
 
I'm up in the air on if I should go premium or GT1. Money is a little tight since I'm in the military, Lol. It will be replacing a 2011 VW CC. Had VW's all my life but the Stinger is too gorgeous to pass up.
I have the 2020 GT1 AWD if you need the fancy stuff then you will have the envy of not having GT2. The GT1 is slightly lighter and stiffer ride but still fun AwD is way to go. Pull fuse in summer RWD put in winter AWD good luck
 
Not today but a couple of days ago I revisited an idea that I loved but couldn't seem to get the way I wanted it.


It started with these 2.5" dumps a couple of years ago....

Turn down tips.webp



Then, since I just didn't think they looked right, I went to 3" round tips.

Tips Round_1.webp

These kept me happy for a while but.....
My twisted, demented mind missed riding the crazy train so.......
I found a set of 3" dumps.... :rofl: :rofl:

Stinger 3inch Dumps.webp


I don't expect 99% of the people on here to like these ( and that's fine ) but I lOVE em !
Changes the exhaust sound to a deeper snarl also ( which is a bonus ).

Yes, they get a bit hot being actual extensions to the exhaust ( not hot enough to do any damage to the plastic ) and yes they'll take flesh off your if you get too close, but I consider that an incentive not to get too close. :sneaky:

Just thought I'd share and maybe feed the inner crazy of a few people. ;):p

haven't seen 'dumps' on a stinger before that's for sure. didn't even have that word in my vocabulary till now as applies to cars. I don't know, fattening them up improved the 'statement' somehow. I wouldn't do it under any imaginable circumstances but it is an interesting look.
