My best Stinger modification is my new license plate which reads STINGRR. I have the impression that the car is now running even faster since I installed it. It cost me $94 here in CT.
Could you post a quick video of your headlights illumination at night? Just want to get an idea since the film you used is what I would like to use in my Stinger. Thanks in advance
I have pretty much all the same mods they look great. The problem I had is the 3 m tape didn't hold . Especially with the speaker covers. I am going to try a little bit stronger tape, and hope that works. Keep up the good work videos.
Yooo I bought the same stinger stickers for door sills and the carbon fiber center console cover!!! Haven't installed because I was debating whether I'd like it since it's made for the Korean spec with cup holder cover. But after seeing your vid, I'm going to install it right now!!! Ohh and u got the carbon fiber spoiler too, which I've been debating..it's like you read my mind 🤣
We have a lot of the same mods are you able to open the center part where the wireless charger is now that you installed that cover? I couldn’t so I took off the whole thing
Hello! I have a question about your intake swap you did on your car ! I have the same stinger and need to know if you need to tune your car after you install air intake?
Just this generic one off Amazon for Stingers, I was able to get mine in gloss black a while ago but now it looks like they only carry matte black or painted white. amzn.to/3oYkPBr
Ive been watching alot of your old videos on the kia optima you have, i have the LX model like you had. Did you hear a rattling noise coming from the engine bay when accelerating, alot of people say i may just need to tighten my heat shields, you wver have that problem with yours?, Thanks in Advance
These are the rain guards I used - amzn.to/3OOf8OG Removing the old wing was very simple just used a detail pry tool to slowly separate the adhesive tape and then pulled the ready away until it fully detached.
Great addition pieces, easily done. I did the speaker covers you got on Amazon and they look really nice. But could you please give me link to the rear overlay "stinger"? I might do gloss black instead of carbon fiber. Also any suggestions to overlay my other rear "GT" emblem?
Where’d you get the cup inserts and the one in front of the arm console? Looks great. Also was that the original CF arm cover console you had or a new one?
Another great video bro, stinger looks awesome, I’m going for a similar look and I also have ceramic silver. I didn’t see in the description the link for the headlight black out covers. Do you know where I could get smoke headlight covers. And the other thing I wanted to ask about was those red strips on your diffuser looks awesome, I didn’t see that link either.
Thanks I appreciate that! The headlights are actually tinted with a film, I had that done by friend. The red on the diffuser is just some red pin striping I found at AutoZone. I’ll see if I can find a link.
@@KDMCurt cool thanks bro appreciate it. Hey what do u think about the wind booster, I just picked one up, haven’t put it on yet trying to get rid of the turbo lag.
@@ph5145 I actually don’t have the wind booster I went with another throttle response controller. I’ll probably be installing it this weekend but they are great for getting rid of throttle lag.
It’s sort of a weird one. The seller showed no name on the pics but they came with a name on them. Lexicon is some sort of off-shoot of HK from what I’ve heard.
@@KDMCurt hey thanks a lot for replying! And if you don’t the ask how did it fit? Did it fit no problem ? As I got one similar to it online and it fit terrible and had like curled edges that stopped it from sticking. So I want to make sure I get a proper fitting one haha
Hey Curt ! Greets from the UK ! That centre console carbon fibre cover is amazing ,i wonder whether they could do right hand side console because the steering wheel is on the right side so the location of cup holders and gear box knob are opposite lol, have you got any idea who sells right hand side cover?tia
Pretty decent quality, I only noticed one slight imperfection in the carbon fiber webbing but you can’t even tell unless you really stare at it for a good while.
Link to the stinger script thing that went in the tray near the center console and also to the covers for the power seat adjusters? They look dope bro! Edit: the carbon fiber lettering cover for the back stinger nameplate too?
Haha oh no, I’ll be here for a long long time. Just takes longer to get parts these days and Stinger mods are a bit more expensive so I have to save up haha.
@@ishmaelmcduffey6676 got you, that may be one where you have to go test drive the two. If we’re talking one of the newer 2.5L 4cyl Stingers it’s weight and horsepower are pretty similar. If we’re talking one of the 2.0L 4cyl Stingers I’d say go Charger.
@@ishmaelmcduffey6676 well I guess that also depends which one we’re talking about too, like the older 2015 3.6L V6 charger was about 4000lbs but the newer 2022 is like 5100lbs. I’m assuming due to more electronics and sensors and stuff.
That trunk wrap is definitely a game changer
Thank you, I’m really pleased with how it turned out!

That’s an extra +10 horses man! Haha very nice!
@@KDMCurt I can make the car go faster if I lose some weight...
Oh yah, thats good for at least 6 H.P.
why do you comment this on every stinger video?!?!
That comment is from a year ago.@@VaanRavi

Just ordered a bunch of stuff for my new Kia Stinger! I’m so excited! Thanks for the ideas. Love your videos!
That’s awesome, glad I could help give some ideas and thanks for the support! 😁
Looks great Kurt, I’m gonna have to look into the tint for mine.
Go for it!
I have pretty much all the same mods they look great. The problem I had is the 3 m tape didn't hold . Especially with the speaker covers. I am going to try a little bit stronger tape, and hope that works. Keep up the good work videos.
Nice, we’ll see how long these stick. If they come off I’ll throw some gorilla tape behind them.
Wish the center console had the cup holders wrap too
Yeah that was the one negative thing about this cover. I may get some matte black wrap and cover that area up.
Can you please tell me were you got the carbon fiber cup holder consal. Thanks. LOOKS AWSOME!!
Links for those can be found in the description of this video.
What did you use to tint your headlights and tail lights? They look really good!
Can you put the link of the red strips here ? And the wrap of the trunk too
What are the red stripes you used on the rear diffuser? They really make it pop out
Just some red trim I found online, I cut 4 little sections the same length and stuck them on.

Do these mods fit a ‘22 GTL AWD Stinger? Great vid too, dope little mods look fire
Yup all the cosmetic mods will fit, the body styles between the GTL’s and GT’s are the same.
How is the visibility at night with the headlight tint.
We have a lot of the same mods are you able to open the center part where the wireless charger is now that you installed that cover? I couldn’t so I took off the whole thing
Yes, that sliding piece still moves with the cover on or at least it should. It may not have been set all the way down in the back.
Hello! I have a question about your intake swap you did on your car ! I have the same stinger and need to know if you need to tune your car after you install air intake?
Nope, no need for a tune after just doing intakes. But, the intakes will help later on if you do decide to get a tune.
Looks great man. Which front splitter do you have?
Just this generic one off Amazon for Stingers, I was able to get mine in gloss black a while ago but now it looks like they only carry matte black or painted white.

@kdm_curt do you have a link for the back windows cowls you have?
Here you go - amzn.to/3q8S960
Where’d you get the red tape for the diffuser?
Just some red pin-striping I found at AutoZone.
Looks good ..where did you get the stuff from....?...
What are the names of those rims ? Thinking of replacing my factory rims on my gt1.
They are Konig Oversteer’s.

Did you hear a rattling noise coming from the engine bay when accelerating, alot of people say i may just need to tighten my heat shields, you wver have that problem with yours?, Thanks in Advance
Can’t say I recall ever having that issue, yeah you may want to just do a once over of all your bolts and make sure everything is tight.
Kurt Which Rain Guards did you go with for the windows. And was it difficult to remove the old wing off the bumper?
These are the rain guards I used - amzn.to/3OOf8OG
Removing the old wing was very simple just used a detail pry tool to slowly separate the adhesive tape and then pulled the ready away until it fully detached.
@@KDMCurt OK great, and if later on if I hate the rain guards, I guess the same removal process right?
@@FrankEFX_Official yup that’s right.
Where did you find the CF window spoiler? I have been looking for one of those
Got it from Amazon but it’s currently out of stock - amzn.to/3ubyhk8
How have these held up? I’ve been on the fence for a bit due to the lack of ratings/ reviews on Amazon
Everything from this video has been great so far!
Big fan and love the mods, but where did you get the red "tape" for the rear endings?
Thanks! I used some of this red pinstriping trim I found online. amzn.to/3M73qMU
Great addition pieces, easily done. I did the speaker covers you got on Amazon and they look really nice. But could you please give me link to the rear overlay "stinger"? I might do gloss black instead of carbon fiber. Also any suggestions to overlay my other rear "GT" emblem?
Here's where I got my emblem, they also have GT badges here but they are a little pricey since they are OEM and dipped.
@@KDMCurt can you please post the link of where you got them? I don't mind paying for quality products.
@@donnaramirez696 check the description of this vid look for the link to KDMWAREHOUSE, they have the Stinger and GT badges you want.
Did you tint the headlights yourself or a tint shop?
took it to a buddy of mine who does tint/wrap
I have a 2018 Kia Optima SXL. Can you provide me a link for a carbon fiber trunk spoiler for it ?
Unfortunately I’m not sure if they make any like that for the Optimas. You’re mainly going to find gloss black, matte black or paint matched spoilers.
@@KDMCurt okay. Thanks.
Where’d you get the cup inserts and the one in front of the arm console? Looks great. Also was that the original CF arm cover console you had or a new one?
Sorry about that I totally forgot to include those links in the vid description. They have now been added!

Question about the speaker covers. On website doesn't show a brand name but yours say Lexicon. My GT2 has HK speakers. Did you special order ?
It’s sort of a weird one. The seller showed no name on the pics but they came with a name on them. Lexicon is some sort of off-shoot of HK from what I’ve heard.
Local tint shop do the headlights or did you?
I would have done the same thing when I was 20 but that was 60 years ago.
To each their own, I’m sure I’ll change the look of this car 10 more times before I move on to the next one.
@@KDMCurt Maybe you should get a job in Kia's design studio...
Where did you order that carbon fibre spoiler from??
