What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

More like a headache...

At Least with a headache you can take a pill and its gone. With paint issues you've got to confront the dealer.

At this point, anyone with paint issues should call Kia customer service, not the dealer. Kia is very aware of the issue.

Oh yes, first call Kia and you'll get a case number. From there they'll probably ask you to have the dealer take photos to send to Kia HQ.

I called KIA this morning, before taking it to the dealer, and got a Case number no problem. They then asked me to take it to any KIA dealership so they could take pictures under light and send them off to KIA.

Is this the peeling issue the yellow and blue cars have been suffering? Or is that genuine road chip trauma?

36 defects that I found... 16 of which, if I was being nice are genuine Arizona road chips... the rest, paint peeling.

Are your rubber piping from the blow off valves to your intakes kinks little? Mine do. If so did you replace them?

Actually they do. Didn't think about trimming. Looks like something to do this weekend

Just some rim protection. I like how the red works well with the brakes.

I had those on my last car (White Santa Fe Sport), they looked good with the black wheels.

Panthera metal. I’ve never seen another stinger in person w/ this color. Of course, I’ve only seen about 4 total stingers in person in SoCal lol

Did you install yourself or do you need to take it to a tire shop?

I had to trim mine about an inch. You don’t even need to put them on.Pplug Wa inlet ports on the intakes. ITll have a much louder blow off sound.
