What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

[Knet182]

I've tried doin those damn amber deletes twice now and messed it up. What's the secret? The inside curve always screws me up

Pre-cut vinyl from premium auto styling.com, a felt covered squeegee, and some soap water helped me get it.

Yep I had the pre cuts from same company, tried it dry the first time, I managed to get 1 right the 2nd time, so 3rd time is a charm. They do look nice on it

@Stevenespytattoos rolled down and borrowed my garage to do a few things to his ride.

Which then turned into me tinting my taillights after we did his. Too dark for a pic of it.

Did manage to get a pic of our headlight tint job though.

I'll edit tomorrow with a pic of the tails @MerlintheMad dont fret!

May redo the tails lil issues here and there

We will have to work on a transparent CF for those applications.

Spring inspection. I usually don't inspect the underside until oil change time, but given it's a new car, I need to establish some baselines.

Jacked up the car using the beam adapter then pulled engine cover off (one used for oil changes). At 3500 miles (2K since oil change), no leaks found under engine/trans. Check the cv boots f/r too, all good.

Rotated tires (literally), to check for any nails, screws, punctures, or other damage. Wheel bearings tight. All good there. Usually inspect tires closely before a long trip. Adjusted air pressure.

On the last car, discovered a screw in each of the rear tires during one inspection. Fortunately did not puncture through.

Topped off the coolant reservoir (~100cc's). Last time was at 2300 miles, so ~1200 miles driven, but most of it was local/in town, lots of heat up/cool down cycles. What i've found is it's not the distance driven but the heat/cool down cycles that seem to cause the coolant to vent.

Oil was changed ~2K miles ago. Looks nice and clean, level is 1 dot below full (cold), did not top off.

Got the windows tinted and full detail w/ceramic coating applied on my GT-Line. Looks so nice now!

Windows are at 30% tint sides and back, front is stock.

On as in running or just on? With my car in the garage, in on position, I get no drl's. Will check out running next time.

Changed my reversing bulbs for LED ones, and while the lights were off I finally bit the bullet and changed the rear badge out, a job I had put off for the last 6 months.

Not, when you are a second owner with almost 70k miles.

Did the Nav update today. Finally got it to take after 3 tries.
