• PLEASE! It is VERY important that this area is not used for the discussion of technical issues with your Stinger. This section is for posting about regional-specific things like Stinger clubs, events, local vendor or dealer recommendations, KiaStinger.com member sightings, etcetera... In other words, I do NOT want people to need to scour through several different sections to find answers about their heads up display. That's why there's a section dedicated specifically to discussions like that. THANK YOU!

And then coronavirus happened... Anyone been out of the house since then?

I've gone out on a few day trips to the N. GA mountains for a breath of fresh air and some scenery. March and April were fantastic as the streets, not to mention tourist traps, were ghost towns. Went out last weekend and things seemed more back to normal. Helen was about 50% normal capacity, but no tubing, not a ton of pedestrians, and no open parks. But it was absolutely crawling with bikers, so I guess that's normal.

Hoping to get out again sometime this weekend, but we'll see how the weather play out.
 
I’m game for a meet. I think my car needs to see other cars lol.

Hi All,

New Kia Stinger Owner in Buckhead. I recently bought a 2018 Premium AWD. I got mine adapted with hand controls since I use a wheelchair. Let me know if anyone wants to meet up. Would love some advice on modifications to boost performance and aesthetics. I have only made a few minor exterior modifications as you can only do so much alone in a chair on a car. Thanks.

Welcome.
Any pics of the hand controls?

I attached a few photos. In the first picture, when the blue light is on the hand controls are active and when it is off the gas pedals work. Also have a spinner knob on the steering wheel.

Fits in pretty well with the car. I'm curious does the nob in the lower left of the steering wheel work both the gas and brakes?

Yes, push down for gas and push straight for break. They are electric and very responsive so it doesn’t take much effort at all.
 
Bump, any new meets in the future?

Maybe at area park with some trees to chill by?

I'm in Smyrna but willing to drive.
 
Hi Everyone!

New 2018 GT1 owner here in Roswell. Looking forward to meeting everyone in person.

Quick question.. Does anyone have reputable shops here in Atlanta area you have used? Tried searching forum but nothing came up.

I am looking to tint windows and chrome delete as well as spark plug gaps and exhaust installed. Google has been good for the exterior upgrades as I have a few shops to contact but for the engine/exhaust stuff can't pinpoint anyone.

Thanks in advance for your responses!

@StingerReborn has been working to organize a group for the upcoming July 5th Caffeine & Octane at Perimeter Mall and also the Import Alliance show in September at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

I'm not sure if there is one "go to" Stinger shop for all your needs.
Voyles Performance over in Marietta has been recommended before for things like powder coating, part installs, etc. One of the owners has a Stinger that is wrapped in a sick green/yellow shift vinyl. They've done some nice work to their car, so they should at least be familiar with the platform. I was looking into them to possibly install some sway bars.
I'm not sure about tint (haven't done that yet), but 5 AM Vinyl was suggested to me as a place to look at if considering wrap work or chrome deletes. Atlanta Custom Wraps is also well known for vinyl, but they tend to be more costly.

I became the owner of a 2020 GT2 in ceramic silver a couple of weeks ago. I live in downtown Atlanta. I just found this section of the forums a few minutes ago. :) I might make it to Caffeine & Octane next week and I'm open to group drives, etc when I can make them.

Sounds great! I'll message you shortly.
 
Dang I missed it. I'll try to make sure to get on here more often.

Got my front bumper PPF'd on the 7th though so that's good.
