Today I drove to Giants Stadium and parked my Stinger so I could rip a different Stinger around an autocross track at the Stinger Experience tour! It was damn fun...our car really knows how to handle. I drove the GT and then the Panamera around the track. The Panamera was so dead around the corners...the Stinger WANTS to have fun!

Glad to hear it was worth the time! I'm signed up to do the Phoenix event in 4 weeks.

Today I rebadged my stinger. As you’ll see on the attached pictures I did the front, rear and steering wheel emblem replacements. I had no idea what I was doing I went strictly by you tube videos and posts on this forums. The steering wheel replacement took about 20 minutes. Much less than I was expecting. It was fairly simple. I followed the steps that one of the guys posted on these forums. I found the most challenging part was removing the adhesive on the trunk and hood. I love the look that these badges give the car. next wheel caps!

Did you disconnect the battery (negative) before swapping the airbag?

Received my GT overlay emblems for the wheels from Importshark. 20.00 dollars well spent I believe.

In your opinion, would you say the overlays are worth in enough to just get those rather than the whole cap replacements?

I did consider purchasing the whole cap until I found theses overlays. I don't see a difference in results and I saved 80 bucks.
Being that it's only 20 dollars, it leaves the possiblity of replacing it as new overlays designs are created. Verses the other way 100 bucks , I would hate to have spent so much and months later a new nicer overlay came out and now your thinking about overlaying it regardless.

There always is a new, shiny object...

[Weareblondi]

cool on the hubs. if possible, do you have a write up in case one of the other members would like to tackle a job like that.

 

[Weareblondi]

i swiped the stinger while the mrs was sleeping. then i remembered about the gps tracker in the car just as the alarm sounded. curse you woman!!!!! so i made a u-turn and brought the stinger back. sigh-

This is actually something I did last week. Since I was sent the wrong spoiler and wasn't sure I'd keep it I didn't bother posting it here. Over the last week it's grown on me (plus the seller gave me a 50% refund, which is icing on the cake).

Scotch tape holding it on here for test fitting. (Not Kroger brand, heh!)

Did you get the stock black finish or did you have them paint it? Looks good by the way.

Check out forum “steering wheel center with E logo” and you’ll see it on there.

I’ve also attached a picture of it selling on eBay.

 

[JustThatPenguin]

I really want that E wheel but $350... I think I can wait for a sticker.

I am also considering removing my big stinger in the back to replace it with the E badge and not even put stinger on it at all. Has anyone done this? It says stinger on the E if they look close enough.

 

[StingerNYC]

This is the first time in almost 20 years of owning cars that I've had this happen. I plugged my tire but was hoping to sell these tires before long. Who is gonna buy a plugged tire?

 

[bumble bee]

Awe man! U gonna get that patched from the inside?
