Uh Oh, West Coast Customs is Already Ruining the Kia Stinger

Kia is teaming up with famed tuner West Coast Customs for a modified Stinger at the 2017 SEMA Show.

The new Kia Stinger is quite possibly the Korean automaker’s best looking car yet. The sporty sedan features athletic proportions with a prominent and aggressive front end that flows well with the rest of its body. So we can’t help but be a little concerned with the render Kia and West Coast Customs have released of their upcoming Stinger project, sporting a gaudy widebody that doesn’t seem to work with the rest of the body.

But we were taught not to judge a book by its cover, so we will hold our judgment until we see more of the project.

According to a release from Kia, the Stinger will receive “a number of eye-catching high-performance enhancements including lowered front and rear suspension, a gloss black front grill, a carbon fiber aero kit, 21-inch forged wheels, widebody fender flares, a rear diffuser and squared-off quad exhaust tips, to name a few.” And of course, West Coast Customs will be working its magic to the interior.

The West Coast Customs Kia Stinger will make its debut at the 2017 SEMA Show in Las Vegas on October 31. Check back with AutoGuide.com as we will be covering the event live from the Las Vegas Convention Center.
