Just like many of you reading this review, I placed a few items in my cart and let them sit there for a bit, adding more items and taking some out. After a few hours of thinking about the order I was about to place, I finally committed and ordered them. One of the parts ordered is the Ultimate Performance Primary and Secondary cat kit. The shipping price was reasonable and actually came fairly quickly. I went to work so I could install them; taking the old ones out is certainly easier than installing the new ones that I had just ordered. Luckily, I am a Kia Certified Master Technician, so I have all the tools and a lift at my disposal. Needless to say, after trimming the driver side secondary pipe about 2.5 inches and modifying one turbo exhaust nut to fit it, it has been installed. I am very pleased with the quality of the stainless steel used as well as the quality of the welds. I should also mention they sound great, and I can't wait to get the cat back installed next. A few days later, I received an email from the K8Stinger Store to leave a review about the parts I had recently ordered. Instead of leaving a review at that moment, I decided to draft an email to the company explaining my experience with their direct bolt-on kit. I kid you not, literally 3 minutes after sending that email, I get a call from the K8Stinger Store. In fact, the owner of the company reached out personally to investigate what had happened with my order. After a pleasant and lengthy chat, it was agreed upon that in fact, I had placed the order for an AWD kit and not the RWD kit, which is the one needed for my application. Not only did he go into detail about how the site mechanics work but also was able to give me statistical data of how many units were sold, zero returns, and where and how they are made. I was even given contact information for the facility that produces this kit. At the end of the day, I learned a valuable lesson. Always double-check before you check out. Also pay attention to those follow-up emails from companies which also show the contents of your order. I had about 3-4 chances to catch my mistake before it shipped, and I didn't fully pay attention. I was also given an option to return the product so that I could receive the correct one I needed as long as they were not installed. Being as I have already installed them and plan to add the cat-back system in the rear future, it was not a big issue for me to keep the AWD kit, and I was able to make those slight modifications and make everything work out. I can say this is a first, where I have sent an email to a company expressing concerns or issues with a product, and the owner personally reaches out to rectify an issue. I'm even more happy to support such a unique company like the K8 Stinger Store. Built from the ground up by passionate car enthusiasts. -Bryant read more

I've placed a lot of orders with K8. The vast majority processed as you would expect. Product ordered, product delivered, product installed, everything is great. Two orders though did not follow form; how these played out exemplify why I love K8 and why I think they're the absolute best place to shop for Stinger parts. On the first order, I purchased the wrong part. Once I recieved it and realized my error, I went to the site and ordered the correct part. I then contacted K8 to find out whether and how I could go about returning the wrong part and mentioned that I had already ordered the correct part. I wasn't expecting him to grief me for not contacting him first. He was annoyed with me because how I handled it meant he couldn't refund me as much. ...wait, what?!? Yup, i made an error and he was annoyed that he couldn't get me the best refund. Amazing. The second order was one that arrived late and broken. I had already contacted him because of the delay to let him know I thought the item might be lost. He advised the manufacturer of the potential issue and let me know it was still within the normal post-COVID19 delivery window. Sure enough, it arrive. Unfortunately, it arrived damaged. I sent him a note (early on a Saturday afternoon) to let him know and included some pics of the damage. I wasn't expecting a response until normal CA business hours on Monday, but this joker...he responds in 11 minutes that he isn't happy with the situation and is going to work with the manufacturer (shipper) to make things right. Sure enough, the manufacturer jumped into the conversation, validated the damage, and set about making things right. I have other companies I've shop with that can't update their website to show what's actually in stock. Others can't be be bothered to let me know when things ship; I just have to hope thing's will arrive sooner or later. Still others can't be bothered to respond to order status requests for products ordered back in December that still haven't shipped (looking at you @ADROUSA, a company you should 100% avoid...they're very responsive, until you order anyway. Then you get no product and no response to requests for status, and no refund when requested). David though...this dude always has his website up-to-date, goes above and beyond to take care of his customers, promptly responds to order inquiries (even when prompt responses aren't expected), and takes care of customers when things don't go right. How a company handles things when something goes wrong is, in my opinion, the ultimate test of a company. Based on that, K8 and David deliver with perfection and have definitely earned my continued business. I would recommend K8 to anyone looking for Stinger parts. read more

When i first bought my 2021 GT1 the service manager at the Kia dealership owned a 2018 GT2. While i waited for my keys we started talking about different mods, websites, forums, etc. he was giving me the lay of the land which i really appreciated seeing how i was a new owner. His parting words included "enjoy the car man, if you need anything just shoot me a text and make sure you check out k8stingerstore.com!" Flash forward 7 months and i gotta say... two of the most comforting feelings I've ever experienced when owning a car are.... 1. finding out there is a community of owners like those of the Kia Stinger. Just thousands of awesome people willing to provide any and all guidance possible, and 2. finding out you have a "Dave" and the K8 Stinger Store... If i could have a "Dave" and a version of the K8 Stinger Store for every car i purchase from now until the end of my days. You'd have a very happy individual on your hands. Just an absolute top notch human being who not only wants to help but goes the extra mile to ensure you walk away understanding exactly what you're doing or what you're buying. His site not only has every thing you could ever imagine adding to your car but on top of that every product has a detailed description of what the product is, how it works, and typically what the result of adding that product will be. He also includes a link to a video or video(S) for each product that consists of a customer who has installed that specific part/product themselves so you get a visual step by step and not just an instruction manual BUT on most products you get both a video(s) and a pdf instruction manual. If all else fails you can just shoot Dave a message and he will provide all the advice and information that you need. If i dont go on the stinger forums to ask a question, ill shoot Dave a message. I trust his word 1000% whether bad or good. He shoots you straight and never tries to upsell just to bring in business. If a product isn't good enough for his car, you wont find it on his site but if for some reason there is a product with an iffy history, he'll warn you. Ask him anything. Literally anything.... Ask him "how do i make my car work" and I bet he'll respond with a detailed response explaining how to turn your car on and put it in gear. At this point most would think there isn't much more a dude could offer. Not Dave. Shoot him a message and if asked he'll provide you with whatever deal or discount he has available. Every single time. Moral of the story. If you own a stinger (which im guessing you do if you're reading this) Go to Dave/ K8 Stinger Store. If you don't own a stinger. Well then i'm sorry for your mediocre car experience. #DaveForPresident read more

The best customer service in the United States! I would implore the opportunity for any business suffering in customer service to simply make a purchase from the k8stingerstore and see how customer service is supposed to be done. Every transaction is followed up with its immediate response and tracking information. David consistently goes above and beyond to make you feel like a friend rather than a customer. After purchasing fella rotors and ceramic pads, I received a call. The call was from Dave not only thanking for taking the time and interest to make a purchase but also gave me his time. Dave spent more than 40 minutes on the phone offering advice and feedback. Making a purchase online sometimes feels like a gamble. Communication alleviates concern, expect to have 0 concern when making a purchase from the k8stingerstore.com. Dave treats his customers like family. The irony is that I see many reviews with similar stories. I work at a kia store and have spoken with other stingers who also speak positively on Daves exceptional customer service. For being across the country how do so many people have such similar positive experiences? If you love your stinger by parts from someone who shares that same love and passion toward stingers. These days you can't find people that care, Dave cares about your purchase and the happiness the parts provide. Look no further, if you own a stinger you found the right place! read more

I've done business with K8 Stinger Store twice so far. The first time went perfectly; I could not be any happier with my experience. Although the second round did not go perfectly, I could not be any happier with my experience, still. My package never got to me, even though the tracking said it had been delivered. David was understanding of the situation and helped me get the situation taken care of. I was curious about other parts I am prospecting for future purchases, and David was able to answer all of my questions with facts rather than opinions. It'll make my next purchase all that much easier. K8 is awesome because it is strictly dedicated to selling the highest quality of OEM and aftermarket parts for the Kia Stinger. My black 2019 GT1 stands out against my neighbor's stock red GT2 thanks to the great work K8 has done with supplying us enthusiasts with quality parts at competitive prices. read more

First off I never leave reviews for company's and I think a lot is due to the fact that some part of the process wasn't great, BUT in this case of dealing with k8 stinger store I HAD to leave a review because companies like this don't come around everyday anymore. I ordered exhaust for my 2023 kia stinger and was constantly given an update for my order and when I asked a question I was answered very fast and was very lucky to have dealt with David, he answered every question I had very professionally and quickly. Also had the patience to deal with a guy coming from mustangs to the stinger world. Very happy I did for the record. But If I could give 6 stars I would and if you're looking to buy and aren't sure just ask and David will have an answer for ya! You will be very happy! That's why is he has what I want I go straight to k8! Good job k8 stinger store and David! read more

I stopped by the K8 Stinger Store to pick up some emblems for my 2018 Kia Stinger GT and ended up finding my new favorite car parts store in LA. I was immediately greeted with a warm welcome by David, at the sales counter counter. I am new to modifying cars and he patiently walked me through the process of putting on my new emblems. Ye also gave me a lot of great info about the products they sell and let me know about some parts that could be beneficial to my vehicle in the future. Until today, I was unaware that they sell authentic K emblems, which is great news! I was very impressed with the store layout, it has a upscale feel and is very neat and organized. Although the location is a bit out of the way for me I found it very worthwhile to make the trip out and look forward to doing it again. read more

Wow! This company is everything you could want and need for your stinger parts. They have amazing customer service and great delivery times. When I say amazing customer service, I mean AMAZING. I recently just bought some downpipes for my car and didn't see that there was a waiver that I needed to feel out for them to be shipped. David from K8 called me the next day after buying them to let me know that I was missing that wavier so I could fill it out and so they could get my package out to me. I have never seen customer service like that in my life! I also really like how they have almost everything I want and need for my Stinger and they just keep expanding their product selection which is definitely a pro. I'm for sure gonna keep ordering from them and they have my future business. read more

All around amazing experience with a great business and insanely fast shipping! I was looking to buy an intake and an exhaust system, but I had a couple of minor questions I wanted to ask first. I sent in my questions via the contact form on their website and within 30 minutes I was on the phone with David, the owner of the company, who was more than happy to answer all my questions and explain everything quite clearly and helpfully. He then put my order together for me while we were on the phone, sent it to me to confirm, and then less than 24 hours after our phone call everything was at my house. Incredible experience that I will certainly be recommending to everyone I can. read more

Our experience with the K8 Stinger Store (K8stingerstore.com) was excellent. David was super helpful all the way through our purchases. He invested time and energy and his extensive knowledge for weeks before we ever made a purchase. Honestly, it was his customer care that kept us from even looking around with any real intent to buy anywhere else. After our purchase, ( K&N Cold Air Intake, JB4 Tune, ArkGrip Exhaust, ArkGrip sway bars, Ultimate Performance down pipes and mid pipes, Mishumoto catch can, and Wagner Performance intercooler) for my wife's GT2 Stinger, we had them all delivered within 8 days. I will certainly do business with David at the K8 Stinger Store again. read more

K8Stinger Store should be the primary store for all Kia Stinger enthusiast! David truly fulfills the companies promise of worry-free exchanges and superior customer service. Recently, due to 100% fault of my own, I ordered an item which after receiving I was unable to use and found myself requesting a return authorization. David worked with me and not only provided me with an extremely reasonable restocking fee, he graciously discounted the product I was replacing it with to help me offset my expenditures. If you want a truly remarkable customer experience with outstanding products, prompt responses, and competitive prices make sure you turn to David at K8Stinger store!!! read more

The customer service with this company is amazing. My HKS BOV was set to ship when they received the wrong flanges from the distributor for my car. This obviously delayed me getting my package when I anticipated getting it. David made it right and did overnight delivery w Saturday delivery when the correct flanges came in. Even with the mistake from the distributor, I still received my package within 4 days of ordering. I asked a ton of questions and they always responded super quick by email. This is a great company and any part they carry for my car I will only buy through them. Thanks again guys for the great customer service. Sean Tuschmann read more

I recently purchased (three weeks ago) the Jun BL EVC Cat Exhaust and Jun BL Downpipes. The quality of service and response time at K8Stingerstore if remarkable. David was on point "as always" in assisting with any question and more question (lots of questions) regarding my purchases. David provided a step-by-step notification of what was going on with my purchase, do to the fact that the EVC Jun BL had to be made to order and it would take a little longer than usual coming from RSK. Hopefully, I will be able to provide some sound clips and pictures once everything is installed. Once again thanks to THE K8STINGERSTORE FAM and David for assisting. read more

I received a damaged ark forged carbon diffuser, immediately after the holiday David responded with great care, his hospitality was great and his character is even greater. He has always been helpful for any questions I've emailed him about, responded a quick as possible. Everyone is busy things get by us but he makes sure he is there for his customers for his COMMUNITY. He truly cares and took care of the situation right away got with ark and is in the works of replacing the damaged masterpiece. I will always stick with K8 solely because of the way David takes care of any issues and helps with any questions regarding info around stingers. read more

I've recently made many purchases with David at K8 Stinger Store. I will continue to purchase through him due to his knowledge and quick shipping. Being a lady new to car modifications, he took the time and explained things in detail and made great recommendations for me. My purchases have been Injen intake System · Velossa Tech BIG MOUTH Ram Air · HKS BOV kit · ADD W1 V3 Baffled Oil Catch Can Kit · HKS M45iL Spark Plugs · ATQ Subframe Chassis Collar Kit · Eibach Anti-Roll Kit · Borla S-Type Exhause · Burger Tuning BMS JB4 w/ Bluetooth · STILLEN Front Lip read more

I've bought a bunch of stuff from K8 Stinger and they always do great work, items arrive undamaged and fairly quickly as well! The last two times David helped me out with my orders and was very kind, knowledgeable and understanding making it easy to communicate about my questions and to get tasks done. (Mind you both times he helped me was on a weekend too no less). When I bought a Stinger GT2 I never thought I'd be buying as much car upgrades as I have been and I'm glad I have a reliable sources to get what I need. That may not mean a whole lot to some, but to me, it means a lot. So major shoutout to David and the workers they have! read more

Big shout out to K8 Stinger Store , I am from the UK and had a pleasure to deal with this shop. What can I say ..the best service I have ever experienced a customer could get. David was so welcome and helpful by answering my questions and giving me an advice on the exhaust I wanted to buy. If you could imagine buying such a big item from overseas could make you feel unconfidently for so many different reasons ( like distance ,full support , tracking service , 100% full customer care ,etc) and guess what... K8 Stinger Store met all those criterias! I will definitely come back to that shop ,the seller is 100% trustworthy! read more

I've ordered several item from K8 stinger store and everything has shipped quickly and received in good condition. The last thing I ordered had a 4-6 week lead time which is understandable with custom products, but the item came in damaged from the manufacturer. I emailed K8 stinger store and they went above and beyond to help me get it fixed and I just received the new item in good shape. Customer service was awesome and I will definitely order more just for that simple fact, making you feel important when in actuality you are just another customer is important And if you see this thank you again David. read more

Let me just start off by thanking K8 for offering a one stop shop for all things Kia Stinger. Their diverse product offerings are second to none, and really allow the consumer to personalize their car how they want it. My experience has always been 5 stars with the K8 Stinger Store. David the store owner has always been transparent with me about lead times on certain products, and has always worked with me to get best pricing. If your a Kia Stinger owner, do not hesitate to order from K8, they ship fast, and will provide you with an amazing experience. A+++ read more
