Hey all


First off
Proud owner of a 2018 Kia Stinger GT1 3.3TT AWD - Black Ext & Red leather
Purchased the vehicle Dec 10 2017
Forefront plans are to use the car for as much R&D as possible to make sure the Stinger has an aftermarket selection

Immediately took the car to Ark Performance for test fitting of wheels and the ARK DTS Catback

Then dropped the car off at Stillen Performance

They had the car for 6 weeks as they are producing a catback system, intake system, front diffuser/lip, rear spoiler, rear diffuser, and sideskirts

Just recently picked the car up and took another trip to Ark Performance for the test fitting of the GRiP catback

Much more R&D for couple other companies to come


I am local to Southern California and have close connections with most of the Korean car aftermarket part manufacturers
KHARTUNERZ - KHAR stands for Kia Hyundai Auto Racing
We are pretty popular in the genesis coupe market and I have since sold the Genesis and began this project

Welcome, car looks great! Good choice on the rubber with the aftermarket wheels. Invo's are good autocross tires, I had them on my C6. Are you planning on tracking it?

Looks like you guys have some Genesis Coupes in the stable. Any chance you could confirm if the front tow hook license plate holders fit on the Stinger?

ARK said they want to release their own branded exhaust vids. All ARK dealers are waiting for that, but only Nicky-poo is lucky enough to have it on his Stinger so far.
