Exterior Stinger Mods - 2022 GT1 - (Quick & Easy Installs!!)

[@stephenjablonsky1941]

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.

[@romanbondarenko1218]

I like this guy. He’s the type of relaxed car guy I’d want to be friends with

[@KDMCurt]

Thanks I appreciate that!

[@just_observing8248]

Just sold my daughter my black one and bought the gray one. LOVE WHAT YOU DID!! I’ll def be copying you🙌🔥😅

[@KDMCurt]

Very nice!!

[@A.B.-zs8ir]

Nice vlog dude, you didn't over do it w/the ride, thanks for sharing...

[@KDMCurt]

Thank you I really appreciate that!!

[@stevencorbo1220]

Nice job wish the Menards were gloss black to mach the area they attach to

[@KDMCurt]

Yeah that would have been nice. Unfortunately the only gloss ones I saw were carbon fiber and they were expensive!

[@david3077]

Looks awesome! Thanks For adding the links to the mods I want that tint for the taillights and that spoiler would look nice in gloss black or color Matched.

[@reloadingdontshoot1]

When are you going to mod it with actual performance increasing parts tho lol... Playin bro I'm playin

[@KDMCurt]

Dang you’ve been busy, haha! So far I’ve done -BMS air intakes -DC Strut braces -ADD W1 Dual BOVs -Konig Wheels and I have some JA lit air scoops that just arrived, I’ll be doing a video on them soon.

[@SlipAngleG70]

Well done! Looks great

[@KDMCurt]

Thank you!!

[@ja747453]

Can you put a link for the GT transfer decal for the driving mode nob? Thank you!

[@The4680laurent]

I definitely need the GT sticker

Great job it looks phenomenal 👏👌

[@KDMCurt]

Thank you I really appreciate that!!😄😄

[@ph5145]

Looks awesome! I got a 21 ceramic silver, and I’m going for a similar look. Where did u get your devils claws, rain guards, and the paddle shift extensions? I just got a set of front devils claws off eBay, but they seem kinda cheap, almost like a wooden texture, hope it works.

[@KDMCurt]

I put links in the description for everything if you want to check them out, I actually got my devils claws from KDMWarehouse but I also found the same ones on Amazon. Yeah the texture is a little strange but it seems to hold up well.

[@erykahs2539]

Love it we did a lot of the same mods! I’m looking for the back claws I’m about to try and record a video with my mods!

[@KDMCurt]

Awesome!!

[@David-vg8ou]

Awesome video I just bought myself a 2022 Kia Stinger GT1. Can you give me link to the side taillight covers?

[@KDMCurt]

www.undergroundgraphics.com/products/kia-stinger-tint-inserts?variant=36822622863517 Make sure you switch the little drop down menu to “rear side reflectors”

[@UntamedOutlooks]

Do the light mode for the grill it’s so dope,well fog lights

[@KDMCurt]

Idk why I’m just now seeing this comment my bad but don’t worry I’ll have something cool for the grill just you wait and see haha!

[@squallxvi]

I like how many people mod those side markers. The side markers only look good with red Stingers lmao. I'm betting the side markers blacked out would look really great on a black Stinger.

[@postaflip7]

Hey man where did you find that little GT sticker? Thanks!

[@KDMCurt]

KDMWarehouse sells them.

[@777LAZARUS]

Normally the drl for gt, gt1, gt2 is at the bottom of the lamp. I want a stinger and never was able to find anyone who got the better looking drl on the GT1/GT2. How did you get the gt-line drl? Did you swap the headlamps?

[@KDMCurt]

These are the stock headlights for the ‘22 GT1’s in the US.

[@Chuckles9191991]

Looks great but just a note, cheap stick on mods don’t hold up too well at over 140 MPH. Don’t know if u intend to drive that fast but I have yet to meet a fellow Stinger owner that doesn’t.

[@KDMCurt]

Already driven that fast and everything is still attached. If you know how to treat the surface properly while cleaning you can get good adhesive strips to stick like super glue.

[@ELP1125]

As long as the surface was prepped properly. Authentic 3M automative adhesive is the real deal, it’ll hold

[@yahzekezane9210]

Looking good my boi

[@KDMCurt]

Thank you, there’s more to come!

[@markellwashington1096]

Dope video bro 🔥what kind of wheels are those?

These are Konig Oversteer wheels.

Love the look..but wish you would’ve painted or dipped the front devils claws …Still dope…I got mine painted at Maco for $25

[@mirrorimageproject6611]

where did you get the tint covers for rear tail light extensions?

[@KDMCurt]

I got them from here - www.undergroundgraphics.com/products/kia-stinger-tint-inserts?Facebook_UA&variant=36822622896285&IGShopping&Social

[@Djk-cc2sr]

Great job, good taste. Is that the ghost grey?

[@KDMCurt]

Yup it is, however here they call it “ceramic silver” for some reason.

[@Tashiiy]

wherd u get those tints for the tail lights

[@KDMCurt]

My buddy did it with Vvivid Vinyl.

[@julianzuniga-]

I have been trying to look for tail light tint for the back of my 2022 kia stinger but i can’t find one for the new model of tail light. Do you know someone that sells the pre cut tail light tint?

[@KDMCurt]

Unfortunately I have not been able to find a tint overlay for the 2022 lights yet. If I do I will make a video!

[@julianzuniga-]

@@KDMCurt thank you !

[@keishawncoleman3079]

I had those on my 2019 Kia Optima I took them off cause they covered my Crome trim on the window I went to car I’d and found some that go on the inside oh the windows rather than mess up the Crome strip on my windows

[@marwangaming4708]

Does anyone know where you can get the cover for the air intake behind the front wheels? Been looking everywhere and can't seem to find it =/ Hate that stones get caught in there and it can potentially scratch the side of the car.

[@jsense26]

When u blacked out the side reflectors did u have to use a heat gun?

[@KDMCurt]

Nope, just a hard detailing card to smooth it out and a razor blade to cut off the extra.

[@matthewwaters9343]

Where did you get the decal for the drive mode control knob?

[@KDMCurt]

[@theBtotheJ23]

Do you know if much has changed with the 2023 model? That's what I have and I'm not sure if these mods would work on it.

[@KDMCurt]

All these mods should still work. Kia didn’t make any body or engine changes to the 2023 Stingers.

[@theBtotheJ23]

Did you get those vinyl strip for the red that goes along the back sides of the car on Amazon too?

[@fauuzisaid]

Can you put the link of the black tint

[@jaysweeney9279]

Could you do this on the 2.5 gt-line?

[@KDMCurt]

Yes, everything seen here will work with the GT-Line as well.

[@mattdillon7176]

where are you located in Texas and do you do other kia owner mods

[@KDMCurt]

I’m in Dallas, depends on what you need help with. What are you trying to do?

[@AlienCreatureThing]

What size and offset did you get for the rims?

[@theBtotheJ23]

Did you have to use heat on those side reflector tints after you put them on? How are they holding up as well?

[@JurzieePhine]

Congratulations 🎊!!

[@KDMCurt]

Thanks!😁

[@mirrorimageproject6611]

another question the link says 2018 for door latch covers, assuming they fit all models since you have a 22?

[@KDMCurt]

Yup, they fit all years and models of Stinger!

[@flyhigh879]

Yo can you do a monthly payment break down video

[@KDMCurt]

Yeah I’ll look into doing a cost estimate video for ownership and maintenance soon.

[@flyhigh879]

@@KDMCurt I wanna get one not sure if I should go new or used but I definitely want one, saw one in person and was very impressed

[@hansbaumgartner6375]

Where did you find rain deflectors for the 2022?

[@KDMCurt]

The body of the 2022 Stinger (except the exhaust tips and tail lights) is the same as the earlier Stingers so all the older stuff fits. Trunk spoilers, window rain guards, front bumper splitter, devils claw canards, a bunch of stuff.

[@PCSkate401]

I couldn’t get the vinyl to sit right on the side reflectors :/ I took it off.

[@KDMCurt]

Ah sorry to hear that. It took me a few try’s to get it to sit right as well. You just have to take your time and be meticulous.

Where did you get the sticker for the drive mode from?

[@UntamedOutlooks]

I have a question how much did you get for you car considering all that was done to it so I can know what to expect ?thanks

[@KDMCurt]

Got $15k for my Optima. Probably could have gotten more but I didn’t haggle much.

[@Fredrox-wc4et]

What kind of cleaner do use use before applying canards?

[@KDMCurt]

I usually wash the surface really well with soap and water and then wipe it with some 91% rubbing alcohol.

[@HD_Kerino]

Where did you get the alloys from, I like the factory ones, but couldn’t find anything I like.

[@KDMCurt]

Had them ordered at a Discount Tire from their website.

[@patjodouin7880]

Where did you look for those modes

[@KDMCurt]

I usually use eBay or Amazon for most of my mods.

[@eddieg877]

love the stinger. Curious what made you not go with the new K5? Great vid tho 👍

[@KDMCurt]

Availability of the car itself and mods. If I traded for the K5 I was going with the GT and I couldn’t find a single one within the state at the time. Also, getting the K5 GT would mean waiting for a lot of mods due to the new 2.5L engine. But this Stinger was fresh off a truck a few miles down the road from me and I learned the engine bay and exterior stayed the same for the most part so all the old mods still work. …and a little bit the speed haha!
