About that Kia badge...

[StingerGT68]

I'll tell ya one thing for sure - it covers the holes and lines up better.

Agh should I be worried about lining up the holes with that Stinger logo?? May have a pro do it.

It's really not that bad.

You think so? I actually think it looks really similar to the 3.0 badge.

I kind of agree with @ballistic. It's definitely similar but that double line up top and, I don't know, maybe the shape of the K... I think what it is - is - it looks less like a Lexus badge than the "Kia 3.0" badge...

Is he going to do anything with black chrome?

Not that I know of...

If you mean gunmetal chrome colored like the front grills, and side vents, we're going to be doing exactly that for our Stinger logo emblems, and possibly the E and GT ones too.

I posted pics a little further down in this sub forum. The “emblem development” thread.

Has anyone added this logo to their Stinger? I like it more than the E Badge. Plus, may look good on micro blue.

I sold three and one person posted a picture. I forget where the original is - but there's a version here:
OEM Kia Motors Badge - The Stinger Store

It really pops against the Ceramic Gray! Here's hoping the blue on the badge doesn't clash with my Micro Blue paint...

I think it'll look amazing on Micro Blue.

The only colors I wouldn't put it on is red and yellow.

Well, I got my Stinger badge installed for $75 (didn't fully trust myself to install it) and even after warning them multiple times...they didn't cover the freaking hole!


Sooo...lesson learned? They said they tried every which way to cover the holes while keeping it level and even, but I showed the them diagram AGAIN and they said if they try to get this badge off it'll like snap since it's thin. So I bought another badge and they're going to replace it. This time I have a printout ready to give the guy showing where the holes are supposed to be hidden. They just couldn't believe that the badge should be shifted that much to the right to be hidden behind the curve in the "G". I measured and it'll be fine. Anyways, I'm extremely pissed over this admittedly minor inconvenience.

Should have taken the badge off and IF it snapped bought another one.

For what it's worth I have taken mine off, peeled plasti dip off it, put new 3M tape, and reinstalled it and at no point in the process did I feel like it might break.
