Keep up the good work. You have an excellent outlook in working hard towards a goal. I just purchased a Kona N and your content was definitely a contribution to my decision.
I just did the same thing on a cement curb with my 2022 KIA FORTE GT. Since the car is only 4 months old, and my scratch on the rim was worse than yours, I just couldn't take having this issue stand on such a new car. If the care was 2 or more years old, I would not have bothered. Anyway, I ordered the new rim (not from KIA of course) and had the switch done at a local Mavis Tire.
@@true_n_thusiast Here is another horror story last night we had a really hard rain in Phoenix well I'm driving in the rain then boom I ran over a manhole that had no cover on it the rain must of blown it off through the flooding the water covered it up well the rim was trashed tire torn OK I bought the spare setup AAA went to put the spare on it don't fit because of the size of the rotors and caliper even though I got it through the dealer he is what sucks no dealer in AZ and maybe parts of the US don't have our tire Pirelli wont have them till October. Good thing is you can put in a claim with the city to pay for it get this a wheel is over 600 bucks I said the heck with it I might get the Elantra N tires and new konig mesh bronze wheels heck for the price of one of our wheels I can get 2 konigs.So if your dealer has a tire buy it up real fast!
I didn’t pay NEAR that.. Check out the second video on the channel, I share how I got such a great deal on mine. I know it doesn’t seem like it but it IS possible to get a good deal on these cars!
Your baby! D':!!!! Good to know it's covered tho. Can't wait to see the modifications on your Kona. ps. I greatly appreciate the Bible verse at the end, you rarely see people do that nowadays. :)
I have a Kona n and I owned a stinger and had almost the same scuffs but less.I drive carefully and would never get any car that has any rims of lower profile then this.I also got the kona cause it sits up high.Go look at any sports car that is used or any car that sits low with low profile rims--the front skirts are usually scuffed up and so are the door sills.BTW for about 100 dollars a wheel--you can get it fixed and even have the rim coated to match the color of the car.I hope I never scuff mine up but if they do i might just have them recoat it in red--its a little over 100 a wheel here--fixes all damage on the rim and gives you a choice to hardcoat it a color--guaranteed for life short of any damage.
This just happened to me and my Kona n a few days ago!! (A little worse than yours) I have bad OCD so I want to get a new one but it’s gonna be $620 USD
Dude, that was so minor. If you have to have a macro shot to see it, you are really nit picking. But anyways, keep up the video's. How much was the wheel and tire coverage? Also keep in mind license plate frames will get you pulled over in some states. See how it covers your year on your plate, yep that will get you stopped in pretty much any state, if the LEO wants to do so.
How many miles do you have on yours? I'm close to 3k. And I've got to take mine in because when driving on automatic dropping from 4th to 3rd to 2nd. Is just bad. You can feel it and hear it. The transmission. Upshifting its no issue manual or auto. But at those shifts specifically it's jerky and it will stutter like and feel like the car brakes some while the rpm goes up. By like 1,000 sometimes. Now this doesn't happen all the time but more than not. And it's more subtle in eco mode and normal. But in sport and n.. it's super annoying.
I have a little over 2k and that jerking you’re talking about usually happens for me too when downshifting to 1st gear in n mode. I think since the transmission is electronic the software is searching for the correct gear and its resulting in lag. If you take it in and they figure something out for you please let me know!

Wow, thank you so much for this comment. It truly means the world to me. And I hope you enjoy your new Kona N! I KNOW you will. 😎👊🏼

Add ons + MSRP + taxes must have been close to $42k
Damn cars have gotten expensive

I have the wheel and tire protection too, I did not know that it covered cosmetic damage?
Indeed it does!
Thinking or ordering the N EU forged wheels so maybe I should accidentally scrape some sidewalks as an excuse lol
Where did get your license plate cover
The link to purchase the license plate is in the description of the video. 😊
This just happened to me and my Kona n a few days ago!! (A little worse than yours) I have bad OCD so I want to get a new one but it’s gonna be $620 USD
Darn.. Sorry to hear that! That’s why I’m so happy I went with the wheel/tire insurance..
Did that in my genesis coupe. I literally wanted to die
Yeah it's the worst lol
Have question my Kona N radiator fan never turns off is this normal
Dude that shit happened to my VN but way worse I was in a Fast food and I was thinking not to hit the curb I for fuck sake I fuck up my rim hard
