About that Kia badge...

[davebo]

Yeah I'd actually prefer that badge say KIA across the top too, but it's still my favorite so far.

Which one? I'm a bit confused, because there's a ton of rear emblems. I assume you meant the large Stinger Textlogo? It is much smaller and different in Europe and to the side .. along with GT badges and whatever.

Not having heard of anything in carbon, though, so far.

Does anyone know if the Kia Stinger rear badge emblem is or will be available in carbon fiber?

Ebay have them in gold , you can fleck paint a CF looks though , check youtube

Thanks! I will look into ebay and see if that's something that will work for me..

Edited it to show what I mean: KIA on top (bad font etc, just to illustrate) and the read areas have a too different distance to the rim for my taste.

I painted mine flat black , plasti dips works better than paint ......................

I just realized the KIA original "Blue" badge has the same imbalances. Odd ... I never noticed before.

@Kia Stinger
Looks good to me .. although the back has to be a bit smaller as to not cut into the lines there

Yeah, the front too. It just looked too small when I sized it properly.

Definitely not a fan of it on the back, but I think the hood will look good. Also that last photoshop source image is so weird, with the reflection of the front tires on the black glossy floor, for a second I thought that stinger had like two feet of lift. Like some sort of monster truck Stinger, hah!

Hah! I should have cut the image at the bottom of the tires. Yes, I agree - the badge looks better on the hood than rear. For me, personally, I like the STINGER text badge in the back...

Not bad. Did you do that? It looks good in black...

Jup .. grabbed some press picture and plopped it on there with abit of perspective stretching and taking off some brightness.

Seen the new Stinger badge Löden is going to produce?

I like it! I'd probably get this one or better yet with the "KIA" you added on top.

For now, I added the "E" at the front and large "stinger" at the rear. Note, as someone mentioned, you need to perfectly align the "n" and "g" to cover the holes. I additionally added silicone in the two holes prior to placing the STINGER badge. As for the front, simply cut the bottom peg and align the other two in the holes and apply!

Nice and clean too ! Where are you in Canada ?

Thanks. Dealer today just applied the 35% tint all-around and washed it, though it didn't last long on my way home.

I dislike winter especially this year with more snow and unusually cold temps. I'm in the GTA... you're in BC?
