What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

How do you like the matte black as-is for the M&S stuff?

It’s nice. Gloss black would be ideal.... but no way it would not get scratched up. I’m ok with it.

5 Days?? What are they doing, creating the new harness and/or grommet from scratch? Mine took a few hours during a scheduled oil change.

Maybe because I have 16000 miles over bumpy mountain roads? Maybe harness damage? Not sure.

Maybe...Maybe...Not sure.

Maybe you should call them and find out.

My guess is they did not have any recall kits, and had to order it. I feel for you, I know how hard it is to go without your Stinger even for 1 day let alone 5+.

Made appointment 2 weeks in advance with KIA dealership for the harness recall and oil change (not where I bought my Stinger ... they suck). Talked to the service department to make sure they had the grommet for the harness fix ... they did. Oil change and wire harness done in 4 hours. Due for the hatch rattle fix which was not a recall ... my mechanic (Seth) at KIA said my Stinger was on the list for that. Seth rocks ... likes to talk. Stay on it, hold your ground, educated phone calls will often expedite your Sting being serviced. Above all, be nice.

Yup setup appointment 2 weeks in advance and was told everything was ready to go when I checked in. Totally supportive of guys doing work in Service. Just not seeing results yet. Im onto second KIA dealer in 6 months. First dealer lost their certification to do engine work - that sort of scared me so switched dealers. Hearing the current dealer just lost two mechanics to a another marquee dealer in area.

Washed it!

Hit 15000 miles; over two months short of one year into the lease. Clearly, leasing was not the way to go for someone who cannot resist driving this lovely beast. (So it's a good thing I did the lease buyout.)

And then c. 20 miles later, I arrived home and the UPS truck pulled up and dropped of this.

It doesn't look too bad for having arrived rolled up inside a c. 8" wide box. As we are below freezing currently, it may be a few days before the crinkles straighten out.

Thanks for tip! Been in touch daily. Answers so far haven’t been too encouraging.

Armor plate. If I had that on, there wouldn't be a nick on the passenger side outside edge (which I touched up): it was caused by running over some piece of debris that flipped up and I heard and felt the impact.

Love these wheels, these should be an option as another set we can choose from instead of having to purchase. Now, if they had them as a $800 upgrade like Volvo does, I would pop for them.

Looks good , maybe add a side lip in front of reat tire , their about 15 inches long and would match your front winglets !!
