What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

Piggybacking off this oil change valve
Adding a quick access port to access the quick change valve - is double the quick - and mess free. (aside from the filter)
2 quick videos

and on the car :)

Had my dealer install my ATQ SubFrame Collar bolts and Eibach Springs today. Huge difference on the way the car rides and handles.Screenshot_20210330-184321_Gallery.jpgScreenshot_20210330-184226_Gallery.jpg

Great Idea. I wanted to do something like that, but was pressed for time and cover will not come off, due to one center screw in front area being stripped or something wrong... so I cut out a rectangular/oval shape for access for oil change... so it's just open there now... I wanted to do this too..
Great job !
 
So I finally put the rear Stinger Emblem on, and the GT overlays on the wheels an the steering wheel overlay and two mini stinger emblems on the sides above the fender vents.. though theyre a bit small there and hard to read. Likely inside (which was my first intentions) somewhere would have been better, or the chrome one would be easier to see / read ?
Cool.. Still gotta remove the smaller stinger and the front kia badge for the new Stinger front badge, and I may put the round E badge where the smaller rear stinger is coming off, if it'll lay flat over that area ? as it curves a bit... ?
OH, does the front badge, when taken off, leave two holes in it as well ?
How do I properly re-buff the shine ? the rear one, after cleaning the glue off, did leave a not so shiny finish in that area.
Finished the Re-Badging.... :-)

E-Badge is in odd spot now, since I got the cool front Stinger one... on the fence which way to go, so I went with the different way (and cause I already bought the front stinger badge).. I am sure I could have sold it to someone near by.... It's done.. Still looks nice.

Oh, the grey stinger looking image is the glue left behind when I tried taking off the smaller stinger emblem... haha... I slid in front of the glue by chance and it came off clean and left the glue in whole.. Looks nice too. Should have just left the stinger glue there for shadow effect.. hahahaa.

What in the Stinger are those? Never heard of this.
 
Well, I feel like I've been introduced to a whole concept I have no idea existed; and I still don't know what those go to. This is what comes from not being a "car guy". Hah. :rolleyes:
 
Not today but in the last week, only a year after having the car, finally got the MBRP put on along with some powder coated tips and stuck on an E sticker over the front KIA badge

Thanks. :) I'm just sitting here, wondering why subframe bolts have never come up before now? Who has had this done?
So I take it these spacers just make the bolts fit snug and not allow that weeeee bit movement/allowance that may happen, so it's a stiffer/tighter holding sub-frame ?
I highly doubt this is something you'd be able to feel in a regular drive. I suspect you'd have to push the car and have gizmo's w/sensors connected to the car to show report in the difference.
Ha.. if they help the car handle that weeeeee bit better, it's worth a few hundred for car guys who want the best, sure why not.. I just suspect this guy believes he feels the difference, but really feels squat.
 
Put some new wheels and replaced all 4 brake pads.
