    Removable Front License Plate Bracket?

    There is about an inch of clearance directly under the factory bracket: There is also the option to install it all the way under the fender where there are a couple inches, but the black matte plastic prolly won't let the 3M tape weld itself properly: Judging from the vendor website, an inch...

    Removable Front License Plate Bracket?

    Actually, I used better keywords in my google search and found it! http://ccmustangbrackets.com/product/universal-front-license-plate-bracket/ This thing comes with a small strip of two-sided 3M tape that WELDS to the paint of the car and will never fall off. I still have to figure out how...

    Removable Front License Plate Bracket?

    Has anyone tried some of the universal brackets out there? I used to have one in my Mustang I'm sure would fit the Stinger real neat but I can't find it anywhere online, like the company went bankrupt. Can't even remember where I got it from but it was a triangular bracket with a bent piece with...

    Parking Brake warning light won't go off

    Turns out the problem was with the "ESC module", not the "ECM"... something to do with the hydraulic system. Anyway I got the Stinger back. Fingers crossed this is the last time I have to take it in for repairs at least for a couple years.

    Parking Brake warning light won't go off

    I think it comes with the territory when you purchase a brand new, new model car. It's okay, I'm cool with it. They're fixing it. Could have been I misheard the guy on the phone? I'll scan and post the work order once I get it.

    Parking Brake warning light won't go off

    Just got a call back from the dealer. The ECM (car computer) had to be replaced and they're working on it. Sounds like I'm getting the car back today. If I were you I'd take it to the dealer ASAP in case it's the ECM before it completely dies on you.

    Parking Brake warning light won't go off

    I'll be glad to once I hear back from them. I went there around noon today and was told they still haven't diagnosed. I think it's bullshit and they don't know what's wrong. I found in another forum the ABS system may need to be replaced which would take a while since parts have to come from...

    USB media playback folder navigation

    God bless America! [giddy]

    USB media playback folder navigation

    Well yeah but in other cars you can jump between folders at the push of a button or with voice commands. In the Stinger you have to manually browse the file system and tap three or four options in the touchscreen, taking your eyes off the road. My workaround is to enable smart cruise control so...

    USB media playback folder navigation

    I didn't realize there was a separate manual for the sound system. I just learned two things about the Kia Stinger: a) It's simply not possible to browse the USB drive by folder. b) It is also not possible to play music by using voice commands. Basic functionality my old 2012 Veloster had. Oh...

    USB media playback folder navigation

    I have my music separated by folder in my USB drive. That way, each folder acts as an "album". Anyway, in my previous cars I would be able to jump to the next or previous folder, in different ways depending of the car (2012 Veloster, 2015 Mustang) but the Stinger Harman Kardon premium system...

    Parking Brake warning light won't go off

    Both, I think. I'm pretty sure that's how the light always looked like. The pic below is from google, not my car but that's exactly how it looks. Anyway I'm at the dealer right now. Hopefully they can tell me if at least it's safe to drive since apparently they don't fix stuff on Sundays.

    Parking Brake warning light won't go off

    Only about 300 miles in the car and looks like the problems have started already. My Stinger is a GT2 so it's equipped with Electronic Parking Brake (EPB). I normally put on the parking brake before I turn off the car but this morning the light didn't go out even after the car was in motion. I...

    M&S Aeroparts Kia Stinger Splitter, Side Skirt Diffusers and Rear Diffuser

    Well, the way I see it, the less weight I add to the car the better for performance and gas economy. I figure if it holds up for a few months then I buy more pieces from the set to bolt on to my Stinger. If it cracks, bends, melts, etc. then I simply remove bolts and throw in the trash. No big deal.

    M&S Aeroparts Kia Stinger Splitter, Side Skirt Diffusers and Rear Diffuser

    Yeah you hooked me up with some Hyundai Veloster stuff some years back. You guys are alright. How do I place the order for a pre-painted in red unit?

    M&S Aeroparts Kia Stinger Splitter, Side Skirt Diffusers and Rear Diffuser

    Looking at the your store page, says it "attaches with basic hardware". http://importshark.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/406_412/products_id/2331/osCsid/10c642c5ee7e0a79d1d0d63f92719451 Do you have to drill the factory bumper to install? Also, I see my stock Stinger has a small diffuser...
