    Side view mirror assembly removal

    Hey guys - tried posting within a few threads but no response. Wondering if may be this helps get some attention as a new thread. I’m looking to remove the side mirror assembly...not the glass, not the cap...the whole thing. Do I go in from the outside or through the door panel? Any advice is...

    Smashed my mirror while reversing

    Hey guys - looking for instructions on how to remove the side mirror assembly. Door panels come off pretty easy - the parts diagram looks like there must be bolts/screws??

    Do you smell coolant around your car?/ warranty / bad mechanics ? DIY

    Hey guys, going to dig through this whole thread but wanted to get your opinions. 2019 GT1, 2500 miles and 7 months old. Recently (clearly I don’t drive it much) the coolant smell in the garage is getting stronger. May be just that I’m super aware of it and not actually stronger. Popped the hood...

    GT1 transmission has become very clunky

    Hey everyone - 2019 GT1 with 2K miles. So I noticed that the car started to take park pretty hard. I thought it was random since it’s not every time. Then I noticed the doors weren’t unlocking when I put it in park even though I have it set that way. NEXT I noticed that the downshifts are much...

    Radio doesn't work occasionally

    Not sure if it’s related and/or I understand your problem OP but I’ve had it happen two or three times that I start up, radio plays normal, Bluetooth connects and the icons in the top right confirm this. HOWEVER, when I press ‘media’ I can’t play Bluetooth audio. Says no device connected. I can...

    First Oil change recommendation

    I’m nearly six months in on a GT1 - just hit 2K miles. Probably going to schedule soon. Dealership said I have to have it in for service with them at least annually to maintain their lifetime extension to the power train warranty. Will be doing royal purple changes at home outside of that visit

    FS .

    Lease? I could be wrong but I have a hard time believing you’re buying OTD at that number. I know they run aggressive manufacturer supported rebates, etc but that seems like a low number for a new GTS

    First mods!

    very nice. to me its not even a "kia" thing - the German fanboys will always hate on it. I just think it looks better with the shape for both the hood badge and the centers. I actually cut a custom vinyl overlay for one - I live in Charlotte the "Queen City" and people love it

    What Did You Do With Your Stinger Today?

    I installed my MBRP exhaust without a lift and solo...it actually wasn’t bad at all. I’m happy to share any tips with anyone interested. PS - intake and exhaust are a must. The car sounds AMAZING and it’s noticeable power gains

    MBRP Catback install *question*

    Thanks. I figured the two people part may be the bigger issue vs the lift...I’ll make some calls. Thanks for the reply

    MBRP Catback install *question*

    Hey everyone, lucked out and my back-ordered MBRP exhaust showed up today. I’m very “mechanically inclined” but was looking for advice on the install. I don’t have access to a lift but have jack stands/can lift the back end of the car in the garage no problem. From the homework I’ve done it...
