Kia Stinger side skirt extensions: the body line finally meets the ground
These side skirt extensions for the Kia Stinger 2018-2023 extend the original side sills downwards and visually connect the front bumper to the rear bumper. The kit consists of 8 pieces: two main rails and their connecting segments, in pre-lacquered gloss black ABS. The result is immediate: the sedan appears lower and wider without touching the suspension.
Why install side skirt extensions
- 8-piece kit: the skirt is made of segments, allowing it to follow the curvature of the side sill without strain.
- Visual lowering: the threshold line drops by several centimeters, making the ground clearance effect disappear.
- Pre-lacquered gloss black: no painting required, the shade matches blacked-out packages.
- Injected ABS: more tolerant than composite when facing high curbs and wheel arches.
- Mixed installation: double-sided tape for bonding, screws for long-term hold.
- Sacrificial part: it absorbs friction instead of the painted side sill.
Kia Stinger side skirt: the missing step in the body kit
On a 4.83 m sedan, the profile is the most viewed angle. An overly high original side sill breaks the continuity between a front lip and a rear diffuser: the eye sees two added parts instead of a single line. The side sill extension is the connecting piece that solves this issue, which is why it is installed last. It also provides a practical benefit: it protects the threshold paint from side projections and parking door impacts. On the Stinger GT as well as the more modest versions, it combines without conflict with the original side steps.

Installation and maintenance
Allow 1 hour 30 for two people, with a clean and dry car, at a temperature above 15 °C. First, dry-fit all segments on one side to check the alignment and the gap with the side sill, then degrease with isopropyl alcohol before removing the adhesive film. Apply from the center outwards, hold firmly for 30 seconds per area, then add the screws in the designated locations. Wait 24 hours before the first wash. The support points vary depending on the trim and options: check compatibility with your vehicle before installation. Maintenance: soapy water and microfiber, without abrasive products on the gloss black finish.
Frequently asked questions
Does the kit hold with only the adhesive?
On such a long part, no. The adhesive bonds it, but the screws ensure long-term hold.
Do the original side sills need to be removed?
No, the extensions are installed over the existing skirt.
Will the kit fit a facelifted Stinger?
The mold covers model years 2018 to 2023. Compare the shape of your side sill with the photos before ordering.
Can the car be put on a lift afterwards?
Yes, but warn the mechanic: the pads must be positioned on the lifting points, not on the extension.
Can the parts be painted in the car's color?
Yes. ABS can be sanded, primed, and painted like a bodywork element.
