Exterior options advice

[vance16805]

I have the 2.0l black stinger and looking to do a little sprucing up! I'm about to put the e badge and the stinger rear script. Looking online and talking to the guy that does my tints I have a few ideas in my head on what I'd like to do. I'm debating l between two things involving the side view mirrors, side vents, rear diffuser and chrome trim. I'm stuck between having the mirrors, side vents, rear diffuser and hot vents either wrapped in carbon or go with the dark chrome that comes on the GTs. I think doing it in carbon would look good but looking for suggestions. Also does anyone know if the front grill trim that comes on the GT can be found to purchase? Not sure what I want to do with the chrome trim above the windows and on the handles along with the chrome and shiny black trims on the front grills. Any advice/ideas are welcomed!!!

Also eventually would like to upgrade the headlights to the gt ones but not sure if it's a direct swap regarding wiring?

I think it would look good wrapped in CF. You can get the GT grill on eBay.

The front grill looks great wrapped as well

Great choice on color! I also have a black 2.0 stinger and was thinking the same thing! I just ordered the black chrome side vents from eBay and they should be here on the 12th. I?m hoping they?re a direct replacement. As ATX said, the GT grille is also on eBay, but it?s like 250 bucks. If you just wrap the outside of the grill, it?ll be much cheaper. I?m looking to wrap the trim by the windows all the way to the back and tinting the side reflectors. That should make it look a little better!

**Edit** Regarding your lighting question, the GT?s LED will not be a direct swap for the halogens that are in our base stingers (not to mention they will be rediculously expensive. There was a listing on a Korean site and they were going for 1500 USD.) I just received my Philips diamond vision halogen lights to try and match the LED ring. I will Put them in this weekend.

I'm having the carbon wrap done this upcoming Tuesday, at least in the mirrors and vents will have to talk price about the grill and rear. Just closed on a house and finishing a motorcycle build so money is so tight!!

Does anyone have a clear closeup of the carbon fiber mirrors on the gorgeous orange performance parts stinger that's online? I'm getting mine wrapped tomorrow and don't know if I should wrap the entire mirror or just the top. Only photos I could find online aren't cigar enough to see clearly if that orange stinger is completely wrapped or not.

Needs a wash, the weather has been nasty here in NYC with all this rain and the salt on the roads. Really happy how it came out today will do more and more as I can. Are those the stock front vents that come on the GT

They did a great job with the wrap. It is the GT lower grill.

[ATXStinger]

[MENTION=492]vance16805[/MENTION] what did they charge you to do all that? That's looks impressive.

Hmmmm 200$....not bad at all. I'll have to look into that, but I was referring to the side vent in my last post

Looks good. Did they remove the side vents for the wrap?
