I don't know for sure if blind spot is part of it. Definitely the lane keep assist. I had ordered the $80 mirror originally because I don't have a 360 camera, and the parts guy agreed, but it was not right. The only difference is that extra brown wire, which makes the connector different.
I'll be fine then, I did not upgrade to those features. A costly mistake for you definitely! I could replace them all day now lol!

I got my front end hit by a cart at Lowe's today! Lowe's cart guy lost control and it hit my bumper from 30 feet away lol! Now they are paying to have it fixed and my buddy is doing the front and back and filling in the holes to go badgeless on front. And just stinger across center on back.

Bad news about putting a radiator cap on wrong is you get fluid everywhere, your car ovetheats doing 75 down a major hwy, your thermostat fries and you get your stinger towed to the dealership and wait 4 days for Kia to approve the fix under warranty:) if you can royaly screw something up I will do it lol!
Good news is you clean your engine bay after you get it back and looks better than before:)



So my first thought was I just steam clean it...then I decided as much as I have a tendency to screw things up I should probably research and ask advice. I learned that steam cleaning an engine is a BIG no no, the steam gets under tape around wires and corrodes the connections over time.

Bought a $4 can of degreaser from AutoZone, sprayed it on ond tee-shirt and it was awesome:) probably everyone already knows this already but for once I did not screw something up!

There is a company now that makes the lower trim piece in carbon fiber, I think the name of the company is carbon_fiber_element6 I saw it on Instagram. Here's their site check it out, cool stuff, K8 stinger store is going to sale their products in the future, not sure when but its coming.
