What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

[Manchuz]

I just found this shot I took a while back : carbon vinyl , quick easy and inexpensive quick fix to debadge , there are GT and Stinger overlays in development as well . View attachment 3718

Cool. I'd be down for either a GT or Stinger overlay.

Hold tight we are working on it , there are also GT and Stinger wheel caps , I bought the E wheel caps but have decided instead to put on red GT caps to match the Brembos , vendor ImportsharkMike has them

I had a busy weekend doing some upgrades....

And I love me some emblems! I want every SOB on the road to know exactly what I'm driving

I like the GT on the side. You should take a picture from further back...

Has anyone found the best license plate frames for front and back on the Stinger (espcially if you're rebadging with the Stinger badge in the rear)? Car is ceramic grey and not thinking anything outside of chrome will look good. Let me know if anyone has come up with something ideal.

I wrapped mine in Carbon Vinyl , durable , high contrast and looks good IMHO , all my rear badges are black though

I like the GT badge on the front fender. Can you take a wide shot for me?

Any photos of your wheel caps?

Hmm...they look a little pink compared to the Brembo red. Is that the new cap color @ImportSharkMike is selling or the original?

I did this order direct with the supplier in the Ukraine , I spec'd the GT red from Kia which is not as red as the Brembos , Mike has spec'd the Brembo red

I thought it was the picture exposure, so I darkened it but it is still a little bit pale for a red color.

It is a crap photo for sure but if you look at the GT on your steering wheel , he nailed that color so he made it to my spec ,

Lol no...

So...I debadged with great success on the rear. Installed the gloss black stinger script with no ghosting or anything. Then came time for the front. Used same technique. Blow dryer and fishing line. This time it was a disaster. Paint peeled off with the KIA badge.

Yeah, looks like the actual ones from Import Shark are Brembo red .

 

[ImportSharkMike]

We had the manufacturer use the Pantone color code that matches Brembo's red. I'll see if I can snap a pic of the red GT cap next to the caliper...

Wrapped the chrome line on the 2.0 and tinted the bumper reflector. Looks much better now! Window tint coming soon!

Will you be wrapping the silver on the door handles?

I'm not too sure yet. Same with the grille. I might just keep them silver as I don't plan on getting aftermarket wheels/paint OEM.

I like the silver grille ... it breaks up the front end and gives it a more menacing look ... make it all black and you’ll lose the contrast and it will end up looking bland.

Silver finish only on black paint I think

I'm working from home today, so thought I'd pull Sally out of the garage to improve the view from my home office window
