Thanks for the referral Wash. I called Nate today and he managed to sneak me in for next week. Dropping my car off Monday evening.

Double D, I'm not sure I can guarantee the freshness of mail-order Whataburger, but there's one in Jacksonville if you feel like a road trip (went there once when I was working in Savannah).

Aarvix way to go ! Nate does some serious work with the ppf......his paint correction on my car was excellent......btw the Wifey has been seeing a white Stinger in the hood...would that be your ride? Wash

Just checking in. I'm off of 35W and Heritage Trace Pkwy, just north of Ft. Worth. This is actually my 2nd Stinger. 1st was a leased 2018 GT2, Pearl White on black interior. Traded that one and got a 2019 GT2 Ceramic Silver on Red interior.

Hey I think we live in the same location. I just got my '18 Black GT1 last week. I've seen you coming and going a couple times.

You in apartments or house? I thought I saw a Black Stinger in my complex the other day. I'm looking to sell my house in SA as soon as I can get repaired (from my last tenant). Once that happens, I'm looking to buy up here in the same general area.

I'm in your complex, carport 56

Cool. Thought I saw another Stinger in the complex a few times. Currently recovering from some health issues so have been a home body for about a month. Hopefully going to start venturing out again soon. Anyplace in particular you go to wash your car?

Just picked up a CPO HiChroma 2018 GT2 last Saturday from Moritz Kia in Hurst, trading in a '14 Silverado crew cab work truck that I quasi-inheritedm, living in Garland for the meantime, though looking at places in Richardson, Plano and Murphy.

Absolutely love the Stinger. I'd been mulling getting one since they were announced back in '17 and saw the first un-camouflaged photos and saw the specs. But $50K+ was more than I wanted to lay out on any car, so I bide my time, and now here I am.

I believe that's where I picked up my '19 GT2 RWD. Traded in my '18 GT2 back in November last year. They gave me $39k for the trade and my lease payoff was under $38k at the time. Had only put $1000 down at time of lease so basically I was only out the monthly payments from February to October. How much did you get yours for?

$36K, had ~38K on the clock (37,XXX). I put $2K down + equity on the '14 Silverado (I took over payments from a deceased friend, but difficulties dealing with TD Auto Finance and some squirrel mandated wiring repairs by Chevy decided me to trade it in. Still waiting to see what the pay off on the truck is/was. May owe some $$$ to Moritz, or they may cut me a check.)

They didn't make much money on me on the purchase, that is what I got it for. I worked them on my Sorento trade too. I know they made a decent profit on my trade. It sold within a week. I have done some mods on your old one and she is very nice for me now.

BTW, you mentioned you had to have the right front wheel repaired and a new tire. Did you have it aligned?

The wheel only had some light rash from a pothole on the highway. The tire also had a cut on the sidewall from the same incident. It was not leaking air or any other issues. But since I had the Wheel/Tire warranty, both were repaired/replaced at no cost. It was done at the dealership. Not sure if they did an alignment but I doubt it was needed. Just a proper balance.

Thanks JVsGT!

Reporting in from the Frisco/Plano area!

 

[WayCoolJr]

Any recommendations on where to get PPF or Ceramic Coating done in the Dallas area?

 

[Aarvix]

I had mine done at NTX clear bra and can recommend them.
@washguy had his done there too and is a big fan.

 

[Kevin H]

Who all is the the DFW North Texas area. Myself I am south of Fort Worth about 30 Miles.

Haha weird I'm about 30 miles south of fort Worth too

 

[washguy]

Way Cool go over and see Nate at NTX Clear Bra – Dynamite Wraps – Paint Protection and Vehicle Wraps he is awesome ! my car looks better today than when it was on the showroom floor
btw saw not one but two Stingers today on Frankford...and no crap both were red like me....wonder if it was the same car? No wonder people follow me looking at my ride....this Stinger is a daamn goodlookin ride Wash

 

[Aarvix]

When I picked my stinger up from Nate, the other cars in his shop were: a Lexus RCF, a new NSX, and a Ferrari 488.
You'll be in good hands.

I'm actually thinking of taking my car back to him and getting all 4 doors done. He did my rockers (including the bottom ~4" of the doors) and my when dad opened the passenger door into a rock, the PPF saved me from damage.
I think it might be a good hedge against door dings.

 

[John Mack]

I got my work done at Apex Automotive out of Addison. Did paint correction PPF and coating. Great gentleman!

I have used Sharp Auto Shields in Grand Prairie for all 3 of my cars. He does a great job and is reasonably priced.
