Hi all, I have a 2018 Kia stinger gt and I was wonder how would I go about de badging it does it have locator holes and what badges would be the best option to cover up the holes. Thanks

the front has holes, the rear does not. You could try color match plugs but i think it will look pretty bad. the only real option is to have a body shop fill and repaint imo

I thought the 2018 rear trunk panel might have holes if it has a round badge, no??

You are correct, i was thinking of the side script and not the kia badge on the rear

Side question: are the front and rear Kia badges on the refreshed version (2023) stick ons?
The new logo looks flatter and looks like stickers. thx

So front and rear have holes and their oval shaped badges. Could I just replace badges to the E style badge?
