What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

I got my windows tinted on Friday! Next up is a wrap, and then I'm changing out the wheels. I just can't find ones I like, although I also don't really know where or how to see what they'll look like on the Stinger first.
 
I dont understand, i have the front bar sitting in my garage waiting to be installed and the instructions show the first step is to remove the front underbody panel. It doesn't look like you can even access the bushings without its removal, or drop the bar without doing that. Am I missing something?
Sorry check my re reply below. I went brain-dead there for a bit.:(
 
Holy Crap! That is just nasty. I need to find a hand wash place that sprays out the undercarriage. I'm done with tunnels too. Only an extreme situation will change that, but I can't imagine one just now.
Any "extreme" situation will you cause you extreme consternation afterwards. Just don't do it.

The weight of the rear bench and back support. I wonder how much weight reduction can be achieved removing them.
ahhh , yes , lost in translation ( me ) I would estimate the bench weighs less than 5 lbs , its very light, getting rid of the spare tire would be the most obvious and simple weight reduction imo

Have you noticed an improvement in braking.

Mission accomplished. My neighbor did a good job making these. First attempt we used a glossy black that came out looking good for a mug or something but not in the car. Second time around we used a matte black vinyl with a glossy white vinyl. They are the perfect size to cover the ugly yellow sticker. She places the white stinger symbol on the black vinyl by hand which as you can imagine is hard so there are minor differences in them but they look very good. What are your thoughts?20200517_160359.webp 20200517_160127.webp 20200517_155833.webp 20200516_201123.webp 20200516_153848.webp

I say superb! They are cleaner than my handmade stickers. How does "she" put the "Stinger" on the vinyl? How is the "Stinger" placed by hand? I guess what I'm asking is: will the lettering peel off later?

She prints out the stinger logo on white permanant stick vynle that she then placed on the cut matte black vynle. I am assuming it will last but since I live in georgia and we are headed into the intinsly humid summer season I think that will be a good test for them to see how they hold up. I'm very happy with the look and dont think the logo will peel. She has been this kind of thing for a long time.

I had the Viper SmartStart GPS 2-way installed on my car. Not sure how I feel about it yet.
 
Not the best cut, but it'll do for now. I'll cut some out later with better fitment.

What mesh is everyone using for the vents? Only thing my home depots had was fiberglass screen door material.
