New Round Vintage K Emblems - Shall I add them to the forum store?

[Kia Stinger]

Alright, let me know what you all think of these pieces. They're heavy duty, full metal and come in a few different colors. They're so heavy that I started a cycle of anabolic steroids to prepare for shipping and handling. If nobody likes them, I'll promptly end my cycle and go back to protein shakes, meat and potatoes...

They look great! But I'm wondering where could they be put? Most every current badge is placed on curved surface, so being metal and heavy duty maybe it would leave the edges exposed? I'm just thinking this because of the Vintage K emblem I have on the front the top middle edge wont sit down because it doesn't flex. I may be wrong though? Hope I am.

Well, its the same as any other flat-backed emblem you see on the front or rear of a Kia Stinger. Only until very recently have the oval Vintage K emblems had a slight curve to them. 95% or so of the Vintage K emblems you see on Stingers (they're all metal, just like these) - plus 100% of all other designs (Kia 3.0, etc.) - are flat-backed... If they don't sit perfectly flush with the body, you could always add a little clear silicone to fill the area. Most people just leave it as is...

Are they round or oval? If they are round what's the diameter?

They're round. I don't have them in front of me but they're about a millimeter larger than the round E badge made by Kia...

Are they flat? Just wondering because they would make a good center cap. I need 60mm.

No, they're rounded. I think they're going to be too big to be used as wheel caps...

 

[Manaz]

Damn, I probably would have taken a round one as the front badge with the pack of badges I ordered recently...

It looks like Klingon.

Clearly, there's a reason why KIA dumped that badge. lol

Besides, people won't know I'm driving a KIA and I don't like that.
