What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

[BIG-D]

I'm keen to buy your stockos if you freight them over here to me ?

At my expense of course..

I should be able to fit 17" drag radials on your stock brakes from memory.

On the fronts definitely and maybe even 15" with the correct rear offset...

So much to finish with this thing .. 9sec 1/4s would be good !!

I can't direct message you, your blocking me I guess?

If i was blocking you I couldn't read this haha ...

This is what someone else did to the backing plate on their Genesis to make the brakes fit...

WOW

WOW, indeed. I had heard of this expedient being done on the forum - that would be some time back. But it never came with pics. Ha hah. I asked my mechanic if he could "bend the backing plates out of the way", and he looked into it and confessed defeat. Ima sure his professional aesthetics would not allow himself to tackle the job this way. And he finished up by saying, "Just get the right parts. You will be happy down the road and it will look so much better." So, that is what Ima doing.

What I see are your black drip rails, like mine. I went with bare rubber, and I put on tire shine. What made you replace yours? And are they bare or painted?

i replaced my factory white ones because i have a stormtrooper theme going on with my car and these drip rails come brand new factory painted in ABP and are right up my alley. i swapped my door handles and shark antenna cover to black as well.



see this link for more on the drip rails

Picked up a pair of pre-painted roof molding to continue my two toned stormtrooper theme. Came directly from Korea



The molding is extremely easy to pop off with a trim tool





Overall an easy update that looks factory

2019 GT2 AWD with 13,000 miles - got it five months ago with 8,500 miles on it. My one nit to pick so far is an annoying rattle from somewhere in the dash. I did not notice it the first month or so I had the car but it was late fall and still fairly warm outside, but once the weather got colder, it became more apparent. It is not constant, happens when the road surface is a little rougher and I am accelerating, even slightly. Seems to occur more often when it is colder - now that it is spring, there have been a mix of warmer and colder days - but it is still there even on the warmer days. I pulled the speaker cover on the top of the dash off to see if I could find anything in there that might be loose or unsecured, but did not find anything obvious (and I knew it was a long-shot that the problem would be there but that panel is easy to pull). I've reviewed some DIY videos and write-ups on pulling off the front dash panel and it looks as though that will be necessary. But, won't be able to get to it for a while - my daughter is getting married in two weeks at our house and if I attempt any work on the car (instead of yard and house projects for the wedding) my wife will be extremely displeased. Anyone dealt with a similar issue?

Thanks for slapping my "little gray cells" awake. Ha hah. We went through this already almost a year ago.

The reason why I ended up not getting prepainted gloss black is because of the weathering/cracking that happens and I didn't want to face that again.
