What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

[Registered Member]

The title to this thread is appropriately named: What did you DO TO YOUR STINGER. Not, what did you do with it or for it, what did you DO to it.

This afternoon, I rashed my LF rim AAAGAIN. How was that even possible? I haven't gotten curb rash in eight months. Here is how it happened (there is always a reason): I was looking in a crowded parking lot for an end stall and finally found one. The car parked next to it was closer than I like, and I was moving to establish as much space between us as possible, and paying more attention to that spacing than to how close I was getting as I turned in. *scrrraaatccchhh* One of the most horrible sounds in the universe. Oh! but I said words (my wife forgave me for assaulting her ears; she felt so bad for me).

I abandoned the shopping excursion at once and drove home swiftly so that I could sand the damned damage down. It was cold out. I lacked patience (done this too many times already!). As far as I know, the damage could have been over already smoothed out previous damage. Heh!

Anyway, you can see the difference that c. fifteen minutes made: it passes the "six foot away" rule. ​

Oh I sooooo feel your pain. I did a similar thing a few weeks back and almost cried.

Nice job. I absolutely love my 360 camera that allows me to isolate the side view and avoid issues such as these. Wheel/tire protection with $0 deductible also helps me sleep well at night. 5yr protection on 19"rims for $500 was a no brainer.

Had pinstripes on my '18 Snow White Pearl and I thought it looked great. When I traded and got my '19 Ceramic Silver, I decided against the pinstripes because I wasn't sure how it would look. I gotta say, looks pretty good. Kind of sets it apart from the rest.

Added a red GT logo to the knob.

I went back and forth with this; and I still do: I picked the white GT. But a nod to the red GT on the steering wheel is very cool.

LOL, I did the same, have the white one also. Went with red because I been adding a splash of red here and there.

My garage is the room where my 3 babies stay so need to keep it as clean as possible, I use my garage as a detaining station as well so need to keep it as clean as possible because is where I ceramic coat my cars.

Mine is where my 1 babe stays, and it is anything but clean.
But I do have these hanging next to my babe (been collecting them over the years since my 2014 Optima SX Turbo).

Nice collection, like the hamster one!

Powder coated?
How come the inside of rim not black too? Personal choice?
