What kind of HP increases are you seeing? And this voids the warranty correct?

It doesn't just automatically void your warranty. I've used many tunes on many cars and never had a warranty voided.

On map 2 it gains around 55 at the wheel. With fuel control wires installed (extra $30) it's around 62 at the wheel. This is on a stock car so expect more with intake/exhaust.

I didn't do anything "to" my Stinger today. But I did go over to the service department and have them sign and stamp my first two maintenances. Only this morning did I realize/remember that I have a maintenance and service schedule in the warranty book. Heh! I definitely want to keep up on all of that. The reason why I didn't think of it on my own is because I've never had a brand new car before, so I've never thought about keeping a continuous record of service, maintenance and repairs done on a vehicle. I've always just let my mechanic look things up in his computer records.

How often are the oil changes ,?? Every 3k. ??

The service tech said that Utah qualifies as a "harsh" climate (our salted winter roads), and cars in those kinds of places need service every 3K to 5K miles. So the dealership chooses every 4K miles. I have c. 8.5K miles on my car, and two oil changes.

Mine will be about the same. Bought it at 150 miles, first service is mid September, and it will have ~4200 miles on it at this rate. Kinda a pain in the ass being 100 miles away from the nearest dealer though. Not sure what I'm going to do while they look at it, I avoid traffic like the plague, so I won't go anywhere even if they do give me a loaner. Lol.

As for service schedule, I keep one of those plastic expanding file folders and just throw all my relevant receipts in there, divided by year. Works well enough, and no need to remember to write it all down. When was my last oil change? Dunno, the receipt is at the back of the folder. Ah! 4731 miles ago, Bob McBobson did it, and it cost me $93.17.

What a name! What a price! A friend of mine sold his Ferrari a few months ago. One of the things he disliked about the car was the (wait for iiit ...) one thousand dollar oil changes!?

Added vent covers to my front air vents. Found a great cheap material at Home Depot, I wanted high airflow, I think this should stop any rock capable of causing damage.

Got this black gutted guard for 3 bucks at Home Depot. homedepot.com/p/Amerimax-Home-Products-Metal-Black-Lock-in-Gutter-Guard-6360/205207064 coated black and easy to cut, I think it looks OEM.

Boo, the front badge is peeling off of my car. (The Loden KLexus/Vintage K). I'm thinking it's because the badge only had the plastic film adhesive on it, and not the thicker foam stuff. Any idea where I can buy a larger patch of VHB sticky pads? Amazon just has small strips.

Are you asking about double sided tape? If so you can get it from any auto parts store, Walmart, Lowe's, or Home Depot.

New wheels arrived today. I love the way the color changes based on the direction I'm looking at them from. Should go well with the car's black chrome.

Unfortunately the car is getting some cosmetic surgery for a few days so they're basically paper weights.

Very Nice! @Kamauxx
