    Drop in filters for 22 G70 3.3TT

    I just bought a 2022 G70 with the 3.3TT and want to replace the stock paper filters with high performance drop ins. Does anyone know if the K&Ns or the AEM dry filters that fit the 3.3 Stinger engine will fit in the same engine in the G70? I'm not sure if the stock air boxes are the same and...

    I have several chips on my ceramic silver 2019 gt2. I plan on showing them to the dealer next time Im there but I doubt that they will do anything about it.

    Windshield cracked - easy fix or major repair?

    I had a rock or something fly up and hit my windshield while driving yesterday and while I heard it, I didnt see any cracks. Today while washing the car I noticed a crack in the windshield behind the rearview mirror (about a 3 inch long crack). Is this a simple fix where the dealer will...

    Are you sure its not the sticky clear plastic protective film from the factory? Mine was still on both sides and I had to peel it off.

    Rear hatch no longer opens or closes

    Both. The hatch latches shut but the secondary mechanism wont latch so it cant shut completely. Also, it wont release to allow it to open either. KIA said they had to order a replacement secondary latch. And, they said this is the first issue they've seen with the hatchback.

Then if i press the button to close it, it won't close all the way and latch so I get warnings and beeps. So I have to crawl in again and pop it manually then get...

    Stinger's tires

    I have the Michelin Pilot Sport tires but I'm not sure I'll replace them with the same tires. They are great tires but I may try something else when its time to replace them. Anyone else try other tires yet? Anything thats quieter without losing all of the performance? I'm sure the...

    What method do you use to clean the wheels?

    i washed them and dried them, then waxed them with wheel wax. Now each time I wash the car I wash and dry the wheels and go over them with my quick detail spray. Makes them very easy to clean. no brake dust residue - everything mostly rinses off.

    If the Stinger had an in-dash CD player would you use it?

    Sometimes. Sound quality in order from best to worst is physical media like CD's, direct connect like plugging your phone in via a cable (higher quality formats beat lesser lossy ones obviously), and last is over air like Bluetooth. I proved this to my gf by having her play a song or two over...

    What's the best towel for drying car?

    If you water dry your car first the waffle weave and microfiber towels do a better job. By water dry, I mean take off the nozzle and let a smooth tube of water flow from the hose. Use that tube of water to sheet the beads of water off of the car (only works on a finish that beads water). This...

    Carnauba or a Polymer?

    I used Car Guyz Polymer sealant and then put on a coat of Chemical Guys Butter Wet wax and it looks great. Very liquid shine.

    Black Chrome Pieces

    I've been using Turtle Wax chrome polish and it buffs to a mirror shine. I usually go over it with whatever detail spray I use also. Works and looks great.

    Any other 2019 Kia Stinger GT owners?

    Is it true that the RWD GT for 2018 did not have a limited slip rear-end and the 2019 does? I've read this but havent been able to verify that the 2018's did not have limited slip for the RWD versions.

    Any other 2019 Kia Stinger GT owners?

    It seems like everyone active on this forum has a 2018, so I thought I'd see if there were any other 2019 owners. Since the engine is the same, can I assume that everything that worked/works on the 2018 will work on my 2019 as well? Thanks.

    Which aftermarket intake brand are you running in your Stinger?

    K&N drop ins for now. Wondering how much of a power gain I would get from going to WAI or CAI...Is it worth it? I wish AirRaid made their dry filters for drop ins for this car.
