they uupdated it this morning and said it had been delayed for some reason. not anything on your end as you actually got it shipped out fast.
I'm blaming it on Chicago because well chicago and IL suck

Okay. There have been some weather related issues with items shipping up north - but I'm not sure if that was the issue here...

Got my badges from @Kia Stinger today, thanks Sal! Unfortunately one of the two pegs on the back had snapped off in shipping I assume, but it's not like those hold it in place or anything, they're just for positioning, so I can manage without it. Looks good.

Ahh, yes, I forgot to mention that. That was the first chrome Kia Motors badge I had received. If I'm not mistaken, you probably want to remove the other peg as well. You don't need it. All you need is the two-sided tape on the back.

Is there any reason or benefit to removing the tab since it should fit in the hole?Ahh, yes, I forgot to mention that. That was the first chrome Kia Motors badge I had received.

You can leave it if you want. Maybe it'll be the surviving factor in a tornado.

Welp, ended up removing the second tab too because I had to put it on slightly off-center after screwing up my paint on the left side removing the old badge. So, it's not perfect and it's gonna gnaw at me that it's just a hair off, but it's fine for now. I'm not sure if this is gonna stand the test of time because this badge is completely flat, so forcing it to the curve of the front bumper seemed to work at first, but a few minutes later the bottom disconnected. Not really visibly noticeable but I can get my fingernail under there, which means water and dirt can find their way under there. Anyway, here's a photo:

Yep, that looks amazing with the yellow. Hope it stays on there. Keep us posted after a few weeks, I might put that on my black stinger.

Looks great good job . Did that to our snow white pearl but it just didn't pop so I ordered another script was going to paint it black until I found this . Found it on a YouTube video if this works I will do the chrome license plate frames also. Will post a picture or two when I get it done . I don't know why it's taking some of you so long to get your order I ordered Tuesday and received it on Saturday ordered through the stinger store thank you Sal .

Between Killa's photo and mine I'm getting pretty tired of how dirty this black chrome gets so quickly. Has anyone just plastidipped theirs yet?
