You are so right.
It will take much more than a tune to build a race car. Mostly money.
I am old enough to have seen and done a lot of things. So, no CAI, no custom muffler, stock look as much as possible.
Stealth and comfort are the operative words for me. I just want to get away from the crowds as fast as possible.
Part of the purchase deal was for the dealer to remove all rear badging. The body shop they gave it to screwed it up of course
and had to fix the rear. it was bad enough for them to fill the
badge hole and presented a bill of $500 to me for their efforts.
Of course, the dealer after some persuasion, nixed the bill. The rear looked great!
As a "bare" back is worth $500, I was not going to spoil the look with new
badges. I had ordered the large
Stinger script from
Sal
- it's still on my desk. That was Dec. 2017.
I left the front KIA
badge in place as well as the wheel centers. I am counting on the ignorance of the unwashed masses
to leave the car alone when they discover, it's "only a KIA".
I have not told my wife yet, but there is probably a MANDO in my future. And a set of 19 x 9" rims to go square.
I love the car. Good luck with yours!
