Sal.. thanks my man for getting these my way.. I love them and hope they last!!
 
So even though I disagree with debadging the general "Kia" logo (we need to help with brand perception) I can understand it...but, why would you debadge the "stinger" and "GT" decals???
 
I am very big on a minimalist approach to esthetics.. everything I add will compliment the platform, plus I hate clutter..

I am still supporting Kia, I just feel on a design level, the vintage K feels and looks more substantial and gives a higher end perception..

The gaudy black chrome is next as it’s one of my least favorite things about the car..

I swapped my emblems because I was annoyed they were the only thing in chrome. Had they done the emblems in dark chrome like the rest of the car, I would not have done it.

That's nice you gave an explanation. I typically answer , "Cause I make the car payments and I like it!".:p:sneaky:

I agree completely. I wanted to do that with the Optima ex I had. But with the gt1 I have, I can’t bring myself to do itz. It garners a lot of attention, and leaving the Kia badge I think helps with the brand perception like you said.

That script stinger looked so good though in the photos and videos online so I finally gave in and just did it. Wasn’t sure about changing the front but went ahead with the vintage K. They might not be for everyone but I really like them and really glad I finally pulled the trigger
