What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

[n8hegr8]

so kia has had my car since 7am. (my appt was at 7am) it sat in a parking lot outside the service center until 11:30am. then i watched someone driving it around for 20 minutes thru my dash cams. Gas ain't cheap man! they also left it running/idle for a good 15 minutes inside the shop.
i watched other footage and i dont think they've done one thing to it yet.
at one point of viewing footage, i heard one guy inside the car say "damn these cars have lots of problems."

Call them out on it! Always fun to make em backpedal. Thats how you get free stuff, and your name/car known. Its amazing how good the service becomes after that.

Been there, done that.

I installed an ECS10.

Mishimoto catch can installed. Nice clean install and professional looking unit.

They also make excellent YouTube install videos. I used the intercooler one to see exactly how to take the front bumper cover off, bolt by bolt, clip by clip, for the JT intake install.

If he said that about the stinger, cant imagine what our german counterparts say in their cars.

got it back from the service... motor already gone bad in back left window, they ordering a part.. tried to get some of the dealership funk off my whip. also there's some sort of software update for the variable exhaust they did.

Are you planning on a roof wrap?

Not sure yet. I wish they made a CF sunroof glass replacement piece. Definitely would do that

Hit 20k miles today. I really need to stop having to drive to the other side of the state.

Same here, I never really want to look out of the sunroof anyway. I'm wondering if any of that CF wrap looks decent or just looks cheesy. Alternatively, I'd love to find a wrap that matches my factory paint, but that seems to be a difficult proposition.

Finally got my windows tinted.

I know for me, i like the look of the sunroof. The contrast of the black against any of the colors more precisely. I do use it, usually only when my daughter points and says "open?" 'Cause at that point it aint about me. But its rare because its too damn hot most of the time here.

My issue with the wraps is its always a black background. To my old eyes real CF has a more "brown" to it. So with my hood and decklid i feel it would be very noticeable.

As to being cheesy looking its all relative. Im happy with the way my braces look wrapped. I did them a while back just because. I may do my handles but not 100% on that idea.

What wrap did you end up with? Got any close ups? My main thing is the "texture" looks off on many of the wraps that and they aren't grey enough.

Only picture i have. But it does give some representation of the difference between the wrap and real. My filter cover is CF.

This is the wrap i bought for the braces. Cheap experiment
