What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

[MerlintheMad]

Seibon, Seibon, I used to know what a Seibon is …

A project arrived the other day.View attachment 38674

Side by side 12 Gauge?

 

[RedCal]

Nope

Front lip?

I received a package today as well all the way from Australia, and I can not wait to get them installed!

I learned what the funny yellow light means.

 

[Drudge]

Now that's a great looking intake

Finally got the car back from the body shop. It was tough not having it for a couple of weeks, but the silver lining is they painted my new spoiler, which I installed today.

You got a hat and beer coozy. Good on you girl! Oh and that other stuff looks pretty cool to

Front lip?

No it’s a M&S rear spoiler that I am going to skin in carbon fibre. I started the process yesterday but didn’t prep the spoiler good enough and my CF lifted in an area so I had to ripe it all off and start over. Bone head mistakes like this add a lot of time to the project not to mention the CF and resin I wasted. So prep today and buy more CF tomorrow. Keep ya posted.

Are you vacuum bagging it?
Prep is key (learned that lesson many times.... or maybe I didn't but I have learned that I lack the patience for many things )

Installed the BMS pedal tuner and it’s definitely a worthwhile mod. Easy install, I spent more time neatly tucking the wires and running it to the fuse panel and attaching the controller with 3m Velcro.

So, you get fancy accent lighting on your pedals with that? Now, I am tempted.

No nothing fancy here I’ll be doing it by hand. I have the patience, I just have to calm my excitement.

Cool- Parchment paper and sandbags will help keep everything in place until the resin sets up. I've also used a foodsaver vacuum bag setup with decent results
Looking forward to seeing the end results!

Any feedback on how its working for you? I'm considering one because I loath throttle lag and this car has plenty of it.

While I’m sure the pedal tuner is good, all I see in that pic is a shiny footrest that matches the brake and accelerator and it makes me just a tiny bit jealous because for some unknown reason Kia decided to stick a boring black plastic one in the Australian models.

The bms pedal tuner has 9 modes and the option to switch back to stock mode so really it has 10 mode choices. I drove it around for about 15 minutes last night aggressively and normal in comfort & sport to try all the settings out. I like the “orange” modes the best which would be modes 4-6 on the sensitivity scale.

I appreciate the difference it made in comfort mode because I tend to drive in that mode the most on my commutes and it is noticeably more responsive. It is also noticeable in sport mode and you can switch through the 9 pedal tuner modes on the fly.

Then I switched it back to stock mode and it really shows how much lag/delay it takes to get going when you’re driving normally in traffic for example.

The car feels less like a drive by wire and more like a drive by cable car now which is what I’m used to and prefer.

If it makes you feel any better the silver part of the pedals scratch easily from dirt/gravel being dragged across them and water spots are more noticeable.

Ceramic coated my new wheels and Brembos with Gyeon Rim. Then gave her a much-needed bath.
