The annual SEMA show began Tuesday at the Las Vegas Convention Center and it seemed only fitting I talk about one of the first cars unveiled at the first press conference: The 2019 DUB Kia Stinger.
SEMA attendees expect to see some outrageous cars, but the DUB Edition turned heads every time I walked by, which was quite often. Placed on the corner of Kia’s North Hall display, the DUB Stinger –- a modified GT — drew people in with its custom metal wide body and carbon fiber accents.

The Avery Brushed Steel wrap placed on the car gave it a satin sheen that did well to hold the overhead lighting. Paired with a carbon fiber hood, the Stinger looked downright slick.
The custom Stinger sat on 22-inch Staggered Dropstars Forged Wheels wrapped in Nitto tires and an air suspension kit gave the car a ground-hugging appearance.
Inside, DUB added a black-and-red leather and suede upholstery with color-matched paint accents. A custom sound system and LED lights completed the radically different interior
Under the hood, the stock turbocharged 3.3-liter V6 was given a custom exhaust and air intake, along with a dress-up kit.

Kia made a bit of a splash at last year’s SEMA show with the Stinger and the DUB Edition of the 2019 model showed that the marque isn’t done.
