What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

[MerlintheMad]

All I will say is that there’s a big difference let’s say in launch controlling your car out of the dealership compared to doing so a at 800 or more KM’s.

Because the argument is as simple as this. 1000kms is the limit of break in right, so if you launch control at 987km’s.............

(I haven’t used launch control as of yet for the record, just two “rolling” accelerations to 6k whilst the engine oil was at max running temp)

You're such a bad, bad boy. But I am sure your car will survive it. Up to this point at least. If a Stinger is a temperamental woman, "49% Bitch and 51% Sweetheart", you're pushing your luck.

Well, crap! At least it isn't cracked. If you have a touchup kit, you can make it look a lot better until the repair is done. (I just hate crap like this!)

Funny thing was, I was waiting to pull out of a parking lot and head to the dealer to get a touch up pen ( for a rock chip on my bumper) when a young woman (very nice and apologetic) hit me. D'oh! I think they're going to have to paint the whole bumper and my biggest concern is that the paint isn't going to match. Do I have any recourse if I am not happy with the work?

Well I guess you could say someone else did this to my Stinger since they admitted fault and their insurance will be covering the repairs... Sigh

Holly crap at least they admitted it. Don't worry once re painted it will be just fine.

I should think that insurance covering work has to be to customer satisfaction. But also, how much are you willing to insist? Don't borrow trouble. As @GenesisG70 says, it'll be fine. Probably. The best way to ensure satisfaction is to get estimates only from high end body shops. This is not a time to look for cheapest labor! A good insurance company should go along with that, given the kind of car that is being repaired.

what Spoiler is that ?? I've never seen something like that yet but I like it . The only one that comes close is the giacuzzo one

Hey,,this is an Ebay seller's deck spoiler, painted for your color for $79 shipped! I was a bit skeptical mostly for fitment, but it was bang on, perfectly contoured to Stinger's hatch lid. Super flexible so easy to apply as well ^^. Very happy with the result, I love cosmetic mods that are understated yet classy and had to get it when i saw it

Is it easy to install? did you adjust it to OEM end links? Might get one as well.

Not sure my shop did it for me but it should not be that hard just remove the wheels and two bolts.

Swapped the winter shoes for the summer shoes - Feels so much better!

I replaced the stock wheels.

Some people may not like because it is not a reknown brand, but I wanted lighter wheels without going wider and I found the design appealing.

Specs: 19x8j +30, 19x8.5j +35
Weight: 18lbs/ea. (Forged)
Origin: MADE IN CHINA (Taiwan)

Hmm.... Made in China... These wheels are cheap they can crack. Should have spent more for better ones.

It was my concern also, but I heard several positive feedbacks so I decided to give it a try. They are not so cheap ($2500).
