What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

Gave my Stinger her weekly bath. Weekly baths are a novelty to me. And Ma Nature has been rendered nonplussed by my behavior, by my changed attitude toward washing my car. Ever since my battle in August What did you do to your Kia Stinger today? we have not received a drop of rain along the Wasatch Front and I have continued to wash my car (not have it washed, doing it myself) every week since my victory. It was my decision to wash my car six times in nine days that threw everything off. Last Sunday we were encouraged to pray for rain. I am now being blamed for the lack of rain! (jk;))
 
I heard the standard was thin. The advance version is thicker.

I'm guessing it's the standard version, material is thin but super light and the fit and finish is pretty good, no blemishes or dimples in the carbon fibre. Overall the quality is not OEM but pretty darn close.
 
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...

That's good to know. I was undecided if it's worth the extra hundred or so for the advance version, but if the quality is good I think I'll go with the standard too. Oh where did you get it?

I just picked them up from amazon, free shipping :) The seller is EPR International, super quick shipping time.
 
Added some red E to the center cap. Let me know if this is way too much red lol.20180926_171846.webp

This is just my opinion, but it seems a bit too much red. If you want the E logo, I'd see if I could find/make one that the background is metallic/gray/whatever and the E itself was red, perhaps? I'm looking for a solution for those centercaps myself. But I'm being patient!

The solution is to keep moving. That way it doesn't matter what the center is. :P
 
Took my Stinger to get repaired(hit & run). Got me a sweet rental, needed to move some stuff so a truck came in handy.

:D will be installing these over the weekend hopefully, will update with post installation pics.View attachment 12981

Can you take close up shots and bottom pics? These are Chinese M&S knock-offs with the carbon fibre finish. Curious how the quality is compared to the original M&S. Look wise, they look great with the gloss finish. If I didn't already have the M&S, I'd consider these. They're more expensive but I think the cost evens out if you have your M&S professionally painted.

Anyone notice their 3M tape peeling off from their spoiler and/or diffuser? The corners of my spoiler are lifting. I even used the 3M tape designed for cars.
 
My list that I did. Making a youtube video to walk around the car and showcase it all. Follow me to stay tuned with all these upgrades!!

3M adhesion promoter ... tape stays stuck forever. Warning! This stuff is permanent! Read the Amazon reviews.
