I got her back from the paint protection installer today!
What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

Today I, too, parked a foot from the curb at my tai chi class. Then I took her to get groceries. When I was getting my bags out of the trunk, a young guy walked from across the lot to say, "That is a lovely car!" (I'm not used to the 20-something guys in my neighborhood using the word "lovely" to describe anything, so that was high praise.) Then when I was about to leave, a young couple and another guy came over. "Oh, my god, is that the new Stinger?!" All were current Kia owners, went on and on about how much they love their Kias, and I think maybe both are going to go for Stingers on the next go-round. Oh, yes, I also told them to check out the Forum. We should all carry business cards for the Forum, haha!

Pictures, please!
Feel free to create a photo album as well. 
Wow, you and your Stinger caused a ruckus today, huh?! Cool... Stinger business cards?!
I wonder if anyone else would go for that idea...Yes... Yes, indeed...

Here are a couple that the installer took when he finished the install. I'll take some better ones and make an album later. Note that you can read the name of the shop on the wall...and on the reflection off the hood.

Very nice, Impressive! Was this provided by the dealership or you found this installer? I just realized tonight my car comes with the Protection Package and the dealer told me they have to schedule it with a third party installer. Although yours looks like it is the entire car and an amazing job so I'm guessing you paid for this separate.

I got it done separately. The front end (bumper, whole hood, front side panels, A and B pillars) has SunTek protection film. The rest of the car, including the glass, wheels, and calipers has Feynlab self healing plus ceramic coat. The dealer had a third party vendor they would have used, but what I wanted was beyond what the protection package offered and with better products than the dealer's third party would use.

Thanks, I also purchased the E Badge for front nose & Large Stinger Script Badge for the rear but script badge was broken in half when I received it, seller “bent” it when packed, will now have to wait for a replacement.

Yes, what @westcoastGT said is true. Even though it does come as two pieces, I wouldn't bend it like that. I mean - it's probably fine but - I'm sure most people would be like, "WTF?!"...

Yes, but let me just double check where the break is on one of mine. Hold a minute.

Yes, right in between the "N" and "G" is a break. As long as the adhesive is still secure, just stick 'er right on!

Ok, we live & learn, thanks for the heads up guys.
My only problem now is backing sheet came away from adhesive side & stuck to the bag when removed, I’m worried it may have degraded its adhesive capabilities.
