I did some searching and found a vendor on Amazon that sells lettering: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KJN8BPY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The 3.3 TT is using the "sport mini" font. Be mindful to use some masking tape and a level to align a guide for when you apply the letters. I measured 7 2/3" down from the underside of the trunk lid to locate it in-between the badges on the opposite side of the license plate. The only issue with the lettering is the period (.) sticks out slightly with the doublestick tape that comes attached. I removed their doublestick and used some thinner doublestick I had instead so it sits more evenly flush between the 3's. I liked this enough I bought another set for when these inevitably fall off, I'm not scrambling to find replacements. They seem to be sticking pretty well though.

Looks good. I'm curious what it would look like using the same "T" as from the stinger or GT badges (just for font consistency)

If you can find that font let me know. ;)

I kinda wish Kia made this badge, even as something that can be purchased/added after. But they don't, or at least I couldn't find it anywhere.

First thought that came to mind would be to buy two badges, cut out the "T"s, sand and paint. Although that is a lot of effort for something that might not look better. A photoshop job might provide some insight.
 
I was also wondering if having it on the side fenders like Mustangs do might remove some of the 'clutter' effect and mismatch on the rear.
 
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...

That looks good
 
Just wanted to report that after a few weeks and its first car wash the 3.3 TT badge is holding strong. Confident this is a decent solution for those who would want it.
