• PLEASE! It is VERY important that this area is not used for the discussion of technical issues with your Stinger. This section is for posting about regional-specific things like Stinger clubs, events, local vendor or dealer recommendations, KiaStinger.com member sightings, etcetera... In other words, I do NOT want people to need to scour through several different sections to find answers about their heads up display. That's why there's a section dedicated specifically to discussions like that. THANK YOU!

What did you do to your Stinger in Australia today?

Have you guys had a chance to do the " launch control in your Stingers ? " I 'm guessing you need a quiet open road to go for it ?
moderators are cracking down on " off topic " comments, Eflyguy flagged some of us last night in the " other side of Kia " thread Oops.
Launch Control!, who needs that it’s a daily occurrence in peak hour just getting away from the traffic at the lights every fifty metres...lol
 
Actually according to another enthusiast your reaction times are quicker than launch control when ur in sport mode. Try it, compare the two, I have and I’m quicker than launch control and I don’t have a time limit like the launch control does. If you were just timing the run no lights or dragging then yes launch may be better. Find a quiet road and do it but if you just bought your car be sure it’s done 1000km before you do.

yep, I do that too, tend to burn off at the lights. Its so easy in the Kia's, they have fast acceleration .
Which was why the "Apex Gang" around Melbourne who do car jackings were using Kia's as get away cars.

Totally agree, this thing smokes everything off the lights, I love seeing the looks on guys faces at the next set of lights when they realise your just playing with them.

Today ... I ordered my personalised plates. I will reveal with an image on my car once I get it. I guess that might be my official first mod?
 
I was inspired by @TwiceStung wrapping hood vents so tried the same today. It's by no means perfect and I'm 50/50 whether to keep it or return to original. Looking for opinions please.

I'm not minding these, they have to be an improvement on the standard plasticky look. I say good addition.

I still like them and it looks like you did at least as good, maybe better than me. I think it depends on the color of car. The place I took Christine to yesterday to wrap the roof really liked mine. Decent result for a first effort. I may re-do them since the edges are a bit rough on one of them from the knifeless tape moving on me. It actually makes the vents look a little less fake. My theme is black and silver so it worked well with silky silver and the matching silver vinyl I used to cover the rear side reflectors.
 
On silver it looks good but the white just doesn’t pop as much. What about a brushed metal skin? Paint the centre line bit black and have the same wrap but in brushed metal.
