What Did You Do With Your Stinger Today?

Finally got the windows tinted; 20% on the fronts, limo on the sides and rear:

Looks way better with the tint, what brand did you go with?

The guy at the tint shop was a man of few words, so, I honestly have no idea..lol. It has a five year warranty and it was 110 bucks cheaper than my cheapest estimate ($160 total) so I figured why not...

 

[KiaFan]

$160 is a heck of a deal.

 

[StingerMike]

Wish we had shops here that can do tint for that cheap.

 

[TurboTx]

Agreed. I was blown away. I had to wait about 3 hours but that's a fair trade off.

I would've washed it, we finally got warmer weather, but since I am still debating if I should hold off or not. Waiting to see if KIA adds the missing features and the interior color combo I want (red with white exterior).

 

[Slowy]

Well done, looks sexy

On the Legacy GT forums, threads like this are active with people discussing the latest things they've done without the need of a separate thread. I have found it to be an interesting way to figure out some cool mods and to see what other members are up to.

I'll start:

Today I installed my K & N intakes. It took about 2 hours. I figured out the hard way that there are 4 different size clamps included. Pro tip: use silicone spray lube to make the rubber couplers slide on and move freely. The smaller breather fitting is too small diameter and needed a wrap of silicone sealing tape to make the hose spring clamps seal.

Now the car sounds like a rabbid fire sneezing dragon. It's quite substantial sounding under moderate throttle in particular.

Yes, yes I did. That's the side with the PCV vent tubes. Definitely going to look at a catch can on that...

 

[bikerdude]

I've already bought one just waiting for instructions

Scheduled an appointment to bring my Stinger in for clear bra installation next week.

What is the estimated drop on the Pro Kit? Definitely post pictures of before/after and side-by-side

Are you doing the front bumper and half-hood?

 

[Chi-Guy]

Went down to the dealer to pick up a set of all weather mats.

Full hood and fenders

 

[stingingseattle]

Purchased two key chains

 

[brandon.mol]

Installed my new badges front and rear.

An automotive trim plastic tool set along with wedges came in handy. Goo Gone and plastic razor blades are a necessity.

Pro tip: mark out the center line and edge of the OEM badge on painters tape with a pencil and cover it with a second layer and expose it only when ready to place the new badge. There is no indent in the trunk or bumper cover to guide the placement and this helps a tonne.

[MENTION=633]brandon.mol[/MENTION] do the Canadian models not have the holes underneath the emblem in the rear? That turned out great.
