    Blacked out chrome trims on the Kia Stinger

    Actually its heat that can cause the vinyl to shrink on larger surfaces like roofs , I've wrapped mirrors , emblems , skid pads etc and no problem but my neighbour did the roof of his Masserati and it is pulling away from the edges a bit ............. easy to replace though !

    Blacked out chrome trims on the Kia Stinger

    Yup , the downside of gloss black vinyl is it can scratch and shrink ................I think Plast dip could work as well with the glossifier finish .........

    Blacked out chrome trims on the Kia Stinger

    Good question , I dont know , matte always looks like dirty wheels to me and gloss can look "too bling" , I think I need to see the car ( Thunder Grey ) and make the call to see what looks best

    Blacked out chrome trims on the Kia Stinger

    I'm going to test plasti dip on one wheel to see how it looks , I really dont like the 19" wheels , blacking them out might look better

    How many people put down a deposit on a Kia Stinger?

    They were very cool about it , I wrote the cheque for $5K they took a pic of it and sent it to Kia with my order , then they gave it back to me and I ripped it up and gave them $1000 cash . On the tire issue I know they were testing HP AS tires as well , I'm prepared to buy new rubber because...

    Carbon fiber dash trims on the Kia Stinger GT?

    I'm sure all this stuff will hit the after market when the cars are well distributed , the German brands have several "tuner" companies that produce and sell body acessories and I'm sure the Stinger will get a few doing the same too
