What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

[Pumbaa]

Just question what's a "Pumbaa" when it's home?

Pumbaa has been my nickname for over 25 years (since the movie "The lion king" came out)

Haven't you seen the Lion King ?

It's a very curious nickname but I won't ask why you are named after a Warthog. My nickname when I was 14-15 years old was " Trouble " but that's self explanatory

That would be a big No, only watch documentaries or sport. I have never seen any Star wars or anything that's fiction. Always get disappointed I like to use my imagination .

As a much younger person, I enjoyed Sci-Fi and all kinds of fiction; movies, TV and books. But by now it's all just so much borrowed, plagiarized boredom. Occasionally a movie will grab my interest. But almost always it is based (pretty closely) on "real events"; e.g. Ford Vs Ferrari: saw it three times; very well done. Hacksaw Ridge was actually underplayed vis-à-vis what Desmond Doss actually went through (the full story would have come across as unbelievable, "made up Hollywood crap"). I haven't seen Lion King either.

Had a free hour of time so tried wrapping the brake vents in some silver carbon fiber vinyl, mostly to see how hard it would be. Will probably change the color.

Had this bad boy installed yesterday at a local shop. Exhaust actually has some character now and there’s not much drone so far. Wife rode in the back last night and had no complaints.

Shout out to @ImportSharkMike, I figured it might take the usual 5-7 business days to deliver like most shops, so imagine my surprise when it was next to my garage 2 days later! Great price and lightning quick shipping.

How was it? I am thinking of doing mine in black CF when the weather warms up

Slapped on the BMS intercooler yesterday. A few small hitches with the install, but a badass deal for $500.

It wasn’t too bad. I tried two methods.....one piece then two piece. Actually the one piece method was easier, just have to watch over-heating and stretching the vinyl. I’m getting various CF vinyl samples in silver shades (to go with silky silver) to see what I like best. Ultimately I’ll be doing the entire hood when the weather finally warms up.

Could you expand on the, “A few small hitches”? Pls

One of the mounting ears was bent. Hard to say if that was the handling by UPS or was put in the box that way. Only packing peanuts were used, not form-fit foam. Used a mallet to get it back to a usable shape. This made lining up all the mounting points a bit tricky. Nothing some colorful language and beer couldn't solve. No instructions included. It's not brain surgery and there are plenty of other fmic install diy's, but not including specific instructions seems kinda cheap. The included t-bolt clamps could stand to be a bit larger. The bottom of the new unit should be about an inch shorter, as the splash shield is touching.

Nothing too damning, but I expect better when buying name brands.

Thanks for the comments.

Hope nobody gets triggered but she's now as smooth as a baby's bottom

I haven't watched over half of the SW franchise. Lucas ruined it. Also, I have only watched a handful of the Marvel Movies. Still, that's more than @Ozstung I reckon.

Cudo's that you have at least seen the first film. Came out around 1978 ? I was a kid and went to see it, then came out all the Star Wars figures to collect, I was so into it I had a Landspeeder and Xwing fighter for my Luke Skywalker figure. Wished I'd kept all that stuff might have been worth a bit now.
At primary School we did a 'play ' called " Getting there in time " a mix up of Starwars characters and Dr Who, guess who was cast as Princess Leia ?......yes yours truely
