No more news yet, perhaps tomorrow.Why thank you flame. Have you got your Stinger birthday list out of "Wants?"
Anymore arrival news? I
Ha, ha, ha, come up for air before you pass out.No more news yet, perhaps tomorrow.
My list of wants? hmm....rebadging, sway bars, rear spoiler, front splitter, ? side splitters ? diffuser, air intakes, Led door scuff plates and ? aftermarket mags.....do you think that's enough ?
Haha, yes those plates ! AV8R was still trying to get me to give them up last week, well, he's persistent, he keeps tryingHa, ha, ha, come up for air before you pass out.
I've gone from disliking the stock wheels to them growing on me, especially at night when they glimmer. With the mods you may have to take a step back and then commit to what really keeps calling.
Looking fwd to the unveiling of those long anticipated plates. I wonder if they'll pass the forum blow torch brigade
Not bad, shame they don’t make the other version like that also rather than having to fit spacers and stick them with tape. Would be so much better to just take them out and replace them like yours. I think they could grow on me but I like the brushed aluminum “Stinger” ones a little more. Nice job getting them fitted. Sometimes it’s the little mods that make all the difference.
He may have had some helpI will, at least your Gif's ( your posting ability ) has really improved
It's in the lap of the gods it took 20 minutes to load 3 pictures today.I will, at least your Gif's ( your posting ability ) has really improved
Regarding the LED scuff plates. I have seen some that dont fit that flat against the door frame plus you will have wire them up and you do see the wire a bit.No more news yet, perhaps tomorrow.

Ohh, I really liked them, oh well I might get the ones you got, their nice too
There’s a few videos of the installs getting around, some have had wires exposed, others don’t seem to. Guess it depends where you hook them up to and how good you or your auto electrician is at doing it. I think to hide the cable completely may involve drilling holes in the car. I like the look of them generally, but haven’t got them. Also don’t mind the led door handle inserts or the cup holder/center console they look good on the promo pics but to be honest I couldn’t be bothered pulling panels out to wire stuff up. Maybe with the interior ambient lighting that you have that we missed out on with the 2018 model you won’t need anymore led lights for the interior, it might be overkill.
True, I'll check out the ambient lighting the car's already got and go from there, maybe the cupholders might be enough.I don't want to light it up like I'm in some zany 80's neon disco
You better hurry then they are almost sold out.

Here’s everything that comes in the box. The 8 little domino looking pieces are spacers, one side is a peel off sticky.

Directions in which give you an idea, but the picture is strange way of explaining it. Google image translate was not helpful because it kept talking about a fish.

These curved plastic plates were very easy to take off using a pry tool. I recommend the MATCC kit from Amazon. A ton of good pry tools for $23

Nice and easy!

Peel off the paper and stick the spacers on just like this. There is an extra little lip in the door handle area which is why the vertical one placed more towards the center.

Put the double sided tape on the spacers.

This is when things get tricky. The aluminum plates don’t take up the entire space, so you want these to be in the upper corner. Make them flush with the top and side, away from the door handle. The actual door handle hides the space that the plate doesn’t cover. It’s also really awkward holding it while trying stick it in perfectly. You don’t want to have to pull it off and try a second time.

Looks great and the silver is a really good match to the door panel.

The End
Mine are all in place and looking great. I guess it turns out there was only one way to do it....the right way.
Your car's under warranty, ask Kia for a new piece
Sometimes it's the smallest touch that makes the biggest difference.
