What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

Can someone please explain the benefits / effects of the TCU upgrade on the 3.3 TT Stinger ?
Is it more for drag racing ?
TIA.

Oh, and Daz, are you actually going to put the letter box on the Stinger ( for real ) ??
Or you pulling the left one ?
 
I posted a few weeks ago about the CF spoiler I put on Big Red, my 2019 GT2 AWD in High Chroma Red, and how it was just a little . . . too much. Since then, I've swapped out for another CF spoiler with a slightly different (less extreme) angle and a cutout. It is a bit less extreme and the cutout allows for better rearward vision. Still, it isn't as subtle as I have it pictured in my mind. While there are some spoilers that approximate what I have in mind, I can't find them in carbon fiber and the carbon fiber is a must.
Here is the second spoiler:

Moving the CF theme inside, I've added CF trim to all of the piano black trim parts - area around the shifter, the climate control surround, the two side air vents, steering wheel - and to the shifter handle itself. The only piano black still left is the narrow strip around the info screen but it blends into the screen part itself so is hardly noticed.

Most of my mods so far have been appearance as this car is to be my daily driver/road trip (GT) car - stock performance is fine for those uses and is better for reliability. I have added an oil catch can, replaced the stock brake pads, and added the VelossaTech big mouth snorkels. Is that it for now? Maybe - y'know that mod bug does lead one down a lot of rabbit holes . . .
