New member saying hi

Hello all, my wife and I just picked up our ‘21 Telluride S (AWD) in Glacial White Pearl earlier in the month. So far I have added Lasfit LED headlights/plate lights/reverse lights and 20% tint all around. I may also ditch the Kia badges in the near future. I really wanted a Nightfall EX but it was just more than we wanted to spend at this point in our lives. Got the S at sticker price here in Syracuse area NY. My parents bought an EX-P from the same dealer right when they came out.

Previous vehicle was a Focus ST (loaded with the leather Recaro seats) and while I very much miss that car, it’s nice having lots of room. My wife currently has a CRV and the plans are to swap that for a Kia Stinger in a couple years. Depending on the performance figures of the new 300hp 4 banger, I might just go with one of those to save money. I just want a full size sports sedan.

Attached are a few pics of the new rig and my old 06 Kia Spectra that was pretty well modified as I was a big “stance” guy back in the day. When I built that car no one had done a Kia and it was some trial and error. Wheels were JDM Wald Duchatelet’s and the fronts were 17x8 and rears were 17x9. Drove the car like that for about 35,000 miles with 0 issues.
