What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

Installed the JB4 today but not the plugs...☹ No worries, I'll piddle along at 0 setting for a few days before they're installed. I'm ready to see what it'll do!
Some pretty good threds here showing how to replace the plugs.
 
I added exhaust tips to quiet the MBRP drone. It’s been an adventure. I ordered from China nearly two months ago. First shipment had 3 matching tips and one completely different tip. I got them to send a replacement, but if you look closely at the far right—it’s got a matte finish instead of gloss like the rest. I’m working on getting another replacement, but was too impatient to wait another month to see if they can finally get it right.

Installed some M8 washers on the trunk lid latch to try to get rid of that thunk noise when going over poor road conditions. Did one on each bolt to see if it works. If it doesn't I will try adding two.

Update: So far so good. The washer trick got rid of the thunk noise when driving over rough road surfaces.

Can't tell in the pic. It's like my TSW "Watkins" wheels: "Double Black", which means gloss high points, matte lower areas: and the front wheels are more satin than matte: I can tell, but so far nobody has pointed it out to me. Hah. :p (you were there and you didn't say anything; now I have to ask, did you notice?)

Nope, your wheels looked great. Glad it’s not super noticeable. It’s always the little things that drive you nuts.
 
I tackle this today!!!

How much negative camber are you running in the rear? May just be the pic but it looks like a bunch. Just curious.

______________________________
You can't be running none, OEM specs are -0.7 degrees in the back at a minimum so the car runs negative camber at factory spec. The photo looks like you're running a lot more than that. Have you ever gotten the car aligned after you lowered it?
 
I would like to hear what you think of this mod after you do a test drive or two!

Let us know if you feel a difference with this mod, it has always interested me but I figured it would be hard to detect any difference.
So my little review on this did a test drive and where i leave theres plenty of uneven/rough roads before i feel the rattle/shake the car makes and now is less, car feels more solid on uneven/rough roads it should have come from factory like this. And all the review on this is spot on.
