There is a company now that makes the lower trim piece in carbon fiber, I think the name of the company is carbon_fiber_element6 I saw it on Instagram. Here's their site check it out, cool stuff, K8 stinger store is going to sale their products in the future, not sure when but its coming.

I just sent David the pics and told him to get them for me:)






Not the steering wheel, asked if he could score the trim next to controls and the gt lower piece:)

That company has some cool stuff, I finally got my Eibach Sway Bars, I'm installing them next week and I just ordered some Eibach pro lowering springs. I decided to go with the springs instead of coilovers. So my car should drop about an inch after it settles in 3 to 4 weeks after they're installed.

I tried a cupholder mount on another vehicle in the recent past and it just wouldn't stay stable. This is a snug fit, even with that "heavy" tablet on it?
Yes it is very stable, it grips the cupholder very well and the arm is flexible but stiff. The tablet I'm using is a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7" so it is not that big. I didn't need anything expensive, I only use it for the JB4.

I'm on multiple forums so let's keep the tradition going on this one. It could be from repairs to washing to road trips to drag strip videos. ANYTHING you'd like to post that you did with your Stinger today is welcome!

Pictures are highly encouraged [like]

I'll start, I only have photos so far so I'm drooling at the P2M w/red interior.

Cheers
Get stuffed with multiple "today" forum trolls.

Wiped her down during a garage sale
Nice having that mirror in the garage so you can admire yourself driving the Stinger in and out of the garage. (y)

Installed new brakes in all four corners. Highly recommend doing this upgrade, if you have been having issues with pads deposits or plainly dislike the feeling of the pedal this is your solution.

Cquence disks Front and Rear. SS lines Front and Rear. Front StopTech pads.

Brakes feel amazing pedal feel was greatly improved (less pedal travel required for brake to start grabbing) this is mainly attributed to the SS lines as the expand much less under pressure.
I also painted the centers of the disk black with high temperature paint to prevent rusting and achieve an OEM look.

They look great rob, how much pedal movement did you l lose, 3/4 to 1" maybe. Stoptech doesn't make rear brake pads?

@spider55 I'd say about 1" less of pedal travel is needed now for the brakes to start slowing the car down.
No one has any rear pads for the Stinger yet. When I spoke to Nick form Khartunerz, he stated that they have made the template already and that pads should be up for sale by the end of august.

I have to say the new setup has already saved me from an accident yesterday. Some idiot decided it was a good idea to go across the street without looking for incoming traffic, on a street with a 40 mph speed limit!!!:mad::mad:
