Would You Fancy A Kia Stinger Upgrade?

Revealed in mid-March this year, the Korean Kia Stinger has a more stable ground amongst its latest models.  Tuners from across the world immediately started offering various accessories for the Kia Stinger, and now we got a compact sedan with aftermarket parts upgrades.

Barracuda and Giacuzzo runners were the ones who succeeded with the Korean company with a great project. A Barracuda style includes a tuned Stinger with tuner's wheelsets. This time we also got wheelsets finished in classic silver, measuring 8.5×20 inches at the front and 10×20 inches at the rear, and are shod in 225/35 and 255/30 tires, respectively.

Giacuzzo tuner put his signature and equipped the car with a few typical exterior gizmos, including a spoiler lip, front and rear bumper attachments, diffuser, and a discreet liftgate spoiler. There's also adjustable suspension with and without electronic dampers, a sports exhaust system, and wheel spacers. 

Each piece is sold separately for different prices. The Barracuda wheels, for example, will cost you €3,590 ($4,270) in Germany, while the wheel spacers might cost you €249 ($296) per axle. Another expensive upgrade for your Stinger is the sports exhaust system, sold for €2,690 ($3,200). The car's lowering springs cost €199 ($237). This upgraded portfolio mostly brings much more resistance on the road.

There are some minor upgrades. Take the €99 ($118) black plastic boot loading protection. It might seem like a cheap upgrade, but it keeps the top part of the rear bumper safe from scratches. Other performance enhancements will be revealed later this year. So, what's your choice number one for Kia Stinger?
