Since there aren't any dedicated badges available I did some quick searching and came up with a set of 2 scorpions for $10 or so. They are chrome but are also available in black. These are about 2.5" and I was considering two locations as you see in the photos. I have always rebadged with the circular E on the front and wheel center caps.

Anyone have an opinion on these? I'm not completely sold on them yet.20220224_154509.webp20220224_154438.webp20220224_160638.webp
 
Thats because it is the scorpion from the Abarth logo. Ive never been a fan of any badge that isnt an option on a car so its a firm no-go for me.

Well, I'll stick with the E badge. I didn't realize that item is the actual badge from another maker as pointed out.
Too bad Kia doesn't differentiate their special edition vehicle, or even between a GT1 and a GT2.

The enthusiasts that care can tell the differences. ;)

I’ve never been a huge fan of badges and I’m sorry to say, but that scorpion badge looks terrible IMO.

Yeah
I've always liked the E badge. People who don't know the car, which is most people, are always checking it out, walking around it, and trying to figure out what type of exotic vehicle it is. I see people occasionally taking photos out on the road.

Anybody who's somebody knows its a scorpion just from the spoiler.

The gts and the gt-line are the only models (that I know of) that have a different model badge. How man special models are there anyway? Indigo special edition, Scorpion and gts? Not a fan of how they did the gts badge. Which is funny cuz how hard is it to add an "S" I could do better than what they came up with in ms paint. The aftermarket gt1/gt2 badges look decent but I only have a base gt so I loose, I get nothing.
 
People say anyone that drives a Kia is a fool... People will always have something negative to say. If you choose to do it, I'll always respect a car person customizing their car, because its theirs. I would paint them black and it would look pretty cool. The front only would be my two cents, because the GT badge looks good all by itself. You're not "up badging" so I don't see why anyone should have an issue with it.

This is sort of like putting a bow tie on a blue oval.

Although sometimes doing weird things with badges can be wonderful.
