Removing KIA emblems, placing new Stinger emblems on

[Douglas]

Removing the glue could take all day just for 1 KIA emblem, should I have an Auto Body shop put on the new Stinger emblems?

Removing the glue is really quick if you use the right method. You need either a roll of the blue disposable shop towels or a bunch of napkins from a fast food restaurant and a bottle of automotive googone. Just soak the leftover glue with the googone and rub the shoptowels or napkins over the glue and it will roll and lift. Took me 10mins to remove all the glue for the front emblem using that method.

Another Douglas. Welcome to the forum.

If you had searched first, you would have known the answer already, as @NS_Stinger has shared.

Takes no more than a few minutes per badge to do it right, and I do not use a heat gun.

TBF the search functionality of this site is rubbish. It pulls in so many unrelated post and comments based on keywords that it’s useless.

I usually search the site through Google - ie search “site:stingerforum.org search terms”

Search on the Forum is definitely the dodgiest I have ever experienced. It doesn't even search the same key words the same way twice in a row. Sometimes the "no result found" is changed to a find simply by putting in upper case, or taking an upper case out (even if the actual title uses an upper case!?). There is no logic or consistency at all.

Back to the OP's question:

If you love your car, do it yourself and take your time
If you love your car, expect around 20-30 minutes per badge

If you give 0 fucks, give it to an autobody
If you give 0 fucks and want to do it yourself, it'll take 5-10 minutes per badge

Tools required:
