What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

[RedCal]

Brilliant and most timely post as I’m looking at getting a red set of these.
A couple of questions if I may?

Do the extensions impede any vision or operational procedures to the wipers or indicators due to them being taller?

Buyers/owners in the past have commented on the flimsy construction of the extensions and especially at the top where they are too light weight and makes changing gears not easy.
Is this the case?

And I like the no branding on them....whose are they, where did you get them and how much?

Thx
Rob

They don't impede any operations, they are only a little bit longer than the paddles on my previous car. (Sample pic below) As for the flimsy operation .... I wouldn't say the extensions are the issue, but to me it feels like the stock paddles seem to mounted to a single point so if you pull on the top or bottom the entire assembly flexes. I have virtually no time with them so I could be wrong on this point. I ordered the from the K8 stinger store, and fair warning, they took forever to arrive, they seem to get the order out the door quickly enough, but the shipping method is VERY slow , took over a month to get to me, while my badges arrived from Korea in less than half the time

It true they took forever to come to me but they look great.

Agreed they do look great! So from a purely aesthetic point of view worth the $$ IMHO

I discovered driving this car with my knee I can accidentally hit the paddles and change gear s.

Console next?

Console next?

No I think alluminium goes along better with the red seats.

Wow, that is a lot. Is that a normal amount? I also am just curious why an oil catch can isn't something that is with the car stock.

You know, I have no idea. This was maybe an ounce or 2 of fluid. The catch can I purchased is kinda small, so probably would easily last until an oil change. Was just surprised when I opened her up!

Catch can was one of the first recommendations for a performance mod...

Can anyone else chime in with their real time ownership experiences with these extensions?
They do look fabulous

What "extensions"?

 

[Ozstung]

What "extensions"?

I think it translates to Additions.

 

[SilverNitr8]

What "extensions"?

I believe they are referring to the paddle shifter extensions.

Precisely....that’s what they are.

I got stopped once since I put those plates on--my tabs had expired because the DOT hadn't sent me my new ones. I doubt they would have noticed had it not been for the plate catching their attention first. The officer asked me what it meant -- just to confirm her suspicions.
My previous car (Genesis Coupe) had 'HI OFCR' and there were a couple of times when the HP definitely seemed to be out to get me because of it.

I'm still having trouble with picture adjustments. On one computer, the photos look washed out so I increase the contrast, but then on my browsing computer, the adjusted photos look way too saturated. I put in one side-by-side photo--you can decide which version looks closer to Federation on your monitor.View attachment 37575

What product and color is your orange wrap?

Today I went to the service center because I had a weird noise on the driver side front suspension after driving over a sink hole.
I thought the damper was damaged but they say its most likely the sway bar bushings. (They removed the sway bar and the noise wasn't there during the test drive).

What product and color is your orange wrap?

Avery Gloss Orange. It's a little bit more vivid than Federation. I have side-by-side pics showing the difference in another thread.
