I just bought a used 2020 Telluride with 8k miles on it. Anything I should know or do that I would have heard from the dealer had I bought it new? Thanks!

Miguel's been super responsive with the quote and I even went to his shop to discuss doing carbon fiber vinyl in some places and he put it on the door handle to show me. Looks super sweet, great customer service so far....
 
Use a good quality full synthetic 5 or 10 w30 GF6 SPI oil and Tier 1 87 octane gas.

Could you share the cost of your chrome delete?
 
Here's pictures in the parking lot. I did the area around the windows and the roof racks in black, but the door handles, front and rear areas and lower door trim in carbon fiber. Pics are right outside the shop, but since then I've vinyl'd the wheel caps and put a roof rack on top. I'll try and take a pic of that later.

Looks so good! How long does it last? How long were you without your car? The carbon really makes it a standout. I’m in Madison GA, can’t find anyone around here that does the delete.
 
Lasts at least 3 years, but depends on a lot of things.... Parking outside or inside, how often you wash the car. Talk to Miguel for more info. Here's a pic today with the wheel caps and the roof rack. Silver cross bars will be replaced with black when they're in stock.

I was parked and talking to my wife on the phone, when the guy parked across from me put his groceries away and stared at the car for longer than normal at least three times...I'm sure he had no idea what he was looking at. It was hilarious! (I took the lettering off the front and only have the carbon fiber KIA logo.)

I may have him redo the carbon fiber on the doors and replace it with black... There are two that need to be redone. I think it will make the door handles stand out even more.

Love it!

Looks awesome! Why do two need to be redone? We live in Roswell awaiting a Black Copper. Definitely will go see Miguel. What did you do in black and what did you do in carbon fiber? Did you do any tinting? ceramic wax? Also, it that gloss or satin?
 
Two need to be redone because they weren't trimmed correctly. Window trim and roof rack are black, everything else is carbon fiber. Check out the pics or I can meet you if you want to see it up close. No tint, no ceramic, and it's gloss black, but you can feel the texture on the carbon fiber. He showed me two options for the carbon fiber and I chose the one that looked more authentic and less shiny. The other had a backing that looked like aluminum foil.
