It does look good! You now drive a KLexus!

Very interested in this badge. Any ideas when it will be available? It would be great if they could also make the wheel caps with this emblem. It looks fantastic!

I've ordered a set of wheel badges from a company in Europe that does custom 3d images . They should arrive in the next week or so I'll post up pics and a review . My design is basically my avatar less the westcoast ..............they were inexpensive , like $20 inc shipping . Could be your answer !

I believe you ordered them from 3dcarstickers? Mine shipped Dec 11 but still not arrived. In past orders, I got them by now but the extra delay could be due to the holidays.

Hey, thanks for post the pic! It not only answer the question of what the alternate badge looks like, but it also shows the small dimples in the front bumper where the plate holder would be installed. I live in a state that requires a front plate (Virginia) and was wondering what it would look like without the dealer installing a plate holder. Thanks!

Do you happen to still have your OEM Kia emblems?

Great , I hope they work for us , what size did you order I think I measured 53mm ??

Nobody answered me when I asked to measure the cap so i based it on a high res photo of a Stinger's wheel and some math got me to 52mm. That's what I ordered. But 53mm is the more accurate one now that I got the Stinger and measured the cap.

I'm not sure they will stick well around the perimeter since the OEM cap surface is rounded. Oh well, we'll find out.

Yup , could be a great solution if it works , I did the Brenthon rebadge on our Sorento and the wheel caps worked out very well .Given the OEM caps have a gloss black background on the Stinger we may have a bit of variance with our GT design ...................waiting .....................

Mine just arrived , they look great and are flexible so they should fit the curve fine . I'll pull the current caps off and apply them and post them up for review . 19 days from the Ukraine .

The size at 53mm is a perfect fit , the flex in the vinyl adapts perfectly as well , sorry for the crap pic but I'm rushing to get them back on the car . I think the quality fit and finish is excellent , and for $20 delivered , pretty solid value . They look very durable and the image is well covered with clear vinyl for extra protection . Super easy mod ................what do you guys think ?

For comparison ,

WOW. I like it! How do you think they'll handle the weather and sun? You know - fading, etcetera...

 

[rdromance]

Will those work on the 18"? My GT2 AWD is coming with them.

Time will tell but they look very well made , and the supplier specifically says they are fade resistant . I love the way they fit , corradoMR2 has a set on order with silver GT , he gets the credit on the sourcing the vendor !!

They will make them to order , I measured my caps at 53mm and the fit is perfect , I beleive the cap on the 18s is the same though
