What mods did you do? Would love to see and follow your build thread here.

I?m only doing cosmetic. No engine or exhaust mods. Mostly tint, roof wrap, badges and such. I?m getting it cleaned up and coated on Friday. Will take some beauty shots and post a complete show. I posted some quick shots on KiaStinger.com forum. I came here later. Have some catch up to do. I figured I?m so close finish it first, everyone knows what the before pix are like. LOL.

In the mean time let?s see if I can post the roof shot.

 

[BCKia]

Roof wrap turned out great! What did they charge you?

 

[ATXStinger]

Wrap looks good, have you thought about plastidipping the antenna black too?

Welcome Joe, I think I've seen your pictures on the FB group.

 

[JoeSpiegel]

Thanks everyone! Yes, I've posted this before. I'm on FB, this forum and kiastinger.com so I'm always afraid to post too much but realize not everyone is everywhere and may get ideas. I saw Eric's roof (I think he's here too) and hadn't even thought of it. It was 250 and part of a bigger deal that included Xpel Clear Bra on the hood, bumper and mirrors. It was all done by StickerCity in LA. I got a lot of approval on the car there but it was one of the cheaper cars there that day. A 918 was waiting on a CF piece and getting a wrap. It's nuts there. They were my nearest authorized Xpel installer. 10 year warranty. Not covering the antenna, like the spot of red in a sea of black. I'm getting a ceramic coat on Friday and other than a license plate frame for the front I'm on the glide path for completion of my project.

Now I need to find a safe place to try to launch it. Maybe Jenna and her swarm know where, an L.A. group that's on FB and other forums too, I think. Thanks again everyone!

 

[StingerMike]

Yeah Eric is on here as well. Either way glad you found your way here too.

Welcome aboard Joe. The red lady is looking good

 

[JoeSpiegel]

Thanks for the continuing good wishes. Here's one last thing I did yesterday. I got these on the Bay and all the 3M tape and Lexan looking spacers were loose and the instructions were in Korean and the images really weren't helpful. I just winged it. They look good but aren't a flush fit like some of the badges that cover stuff.
