Hey guys and girls, my name is Brendan and I?m a Stinger owner from Sydney, Australia. I have a Stinger GT 3.3TT RWD in Sunset Yellow, which is the highest spec model in Australia.

So I thought I?d post the mods that I?ve done so far....

So far......
- Replaced rear KIA and small Stinger badge
with large Stinger badge
- Replaced front KIA badge with ?E? badge
- Replaced KIA wheel inserts with ?E? inserts
- Fitted brushed aluminium door handle
inserts.
- Fitted brushed aluminium tray insert
- Fitted brushed aluminium cup holder inserts
- Fitted genuine KIA dash mat

To come.....
- Bi-modal exhaust (ordered)
- Window tint
- Either powder coat existing wheels or get
new ones (maybe 20?)
- Sports air filter or intake depending on
whats available and/or legal.
- Vinyl Wrap (tentatively looking)
- Chip/Tune (maybe)
- Body kit (maybe)


Here are some pictures. If anyone has questions, comments or other ideas, feel free to comment below

Welcome. Do you have any pictures badge installation? How did you line up the rear Stinger badge to cover the holes?

I think, this alu inlays will get scratches very fast and get ugly.

What do you think about this Bren ?

Sadly I didn?t take any pictures. I wish I had done a video but I just didn?t think to. The ?n? and ?g? cover the two holes perfectly but it took me probably 30 mins of checking and test fitting it before I was happy to actually stick it down. It really is a lot of care with a bit of good luck

I?m not sure but they aren?t terribly expensive so I?m happy to replace them every year or so if need be. I am more worried about the factory aluminium around the centre console.

We don't get yellow here in the states.

Actually there will be 400 Sunset Yellow released in the states. It will be the GT but will also include the LSD that is only on the GT2 as well. There was a contest to determine which dealerships get 1.

Any idea what the contest was about?

It pairs 2 dealers from same region with like-size KTB objectives for a head to head match up.

Winners determined on highest percentage attainment of Nov-Dec 2017.

Winners must meet a minimum KTB objective attainment of 100%

Any idea on when the wining dealerships will be announced?

[MENTION=321]robz32[/MENTION], he was repeating what I posted a few weeks ago in a different thread.

They were assigned to dealers about 10 days ago.

I have the details posted in our dealer forum under my Kia of the Quad Cities thread. I posted the window sticker as well!
