Doesn't blend into the Stinger's lines (neither does the red rear diffuser) and rear visibilty is already bad enought without this taking up more right in the middle of what little rear view there is.

OK. No apology needed, your opinions really didn't bother me, everybody is different. It was more your bluntness than made me want to respond.

Yes, I thought that might be the case for the stock badge but I removed it (without taking off the center housing) and now I have basically the same type badge without the bent tabs to hold it firmly to the housing. The new badge has the tabs ground off smooth and is stuck on mostly by doubled...

robz32: That's what I thought but glad to see it in a "production" car. Thanks very much! BTW, why is the emblem on the steering wheel not a problem? Is it because it is attached with bent tabs that won't let it easily come off the air bag cover? I removed the stock kia one and...

to derek0609: Just saw your car on another thread, I see you must not mind vinyl wrap after all or you too would not have put it on your roof also. Actually, it looks very good on yours even if vinyl is "fake" paint. I debated about using black gloss too (it matches the appearance of the sun...

In video of early crash testing (maybe insurance institute?) the air bag actually deploys out from the top horizontal part of the dash and not from the front verticle part where the emblem is. I guess this could have been changed latter, does anyboby actually know? I have installed a thicker...

derek0609: Here's my take on your six points, thanks for being more clear in your criticism that I asked for. 1. I don't agree that the "red" is over done and feed back so far does not back you up. Then again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That's your view and...

blesken: Not sure what you mean? Door handles? or door arm rest? You can see my rear door in the picture of my rear seatback. I did use chrome "gap" filler on the arm rest. And brushed aluminum vinyl around the rear console electrical outlets. The door handles are stock but with...

No problem, to each his own, it's not your car so you don't have to live with it. But if you are going to give out a negative opinion than explain to this ole Arkansas boy specificly which parts you are refering to, or is it ALL the modifications? Really, don't be vague. I sincerly want to...

Looking good.

My project has many modifications and can be found on page 7 of the Ceramic Silver thread. Hood scoop, side skirts, spoilers, wheels, and paint etc., etc.

Check out my NUMERIOUS mods on Ceramic Silver thread, page 7. Arkansas car. Hood scoop, side skirts, spoilers, wheels and paint etc. etc.

to blesken : Thanks for refering to me for your inspiration. (ceramic silver thread, page 7) I too used Cowles and tried clear tape over it to make it look more brushed but did not use the clear as I thought it might be a maintainence issue down the road. Since the trim took your sanding ok I...

To derek0609 : No it's not a Nissan, anyone can see it's not a sports car. Nissan does not own the use of the letter "R" to signify a model in a car line up. Honda, Audi, Volkswagen, Subaru and others have "R" models, usually at the top of their sporty food chain. I modified...

1BlinkGone : The paint has very fine metallic that gives it a shine but most of the time, under most conditions, it does not look metallic like most paints. It looks almost like a grey primer that has a clear gloss over it.
