Somebody is working on a new piece, the same size as the 14" OEM version, in various colors. I know black chrome/gunmetal is on the way - along with matte black... If anyone is interested in other colors, please let me know now and I'll pass this on...

I would've been all over a black chrome option. Another early adopter shafted lol jk. What about chrome red? A bunch of guys have those red TT badges, maybe match up the colors?


UNRELATED TOPIC!
What about those Lamborghini style start button covers and start button overlays?

What size? I'm not a fan of the over-size one most people sell (and install) - I like the size of the OEM one.

Would this be a one piece script? I.e not hinged in the middle. Black chrome sounds good.

I think red would be a definite option...

Over-size? I've never seen that. Are you talking about a decal? These would be exactly the same size as the rear center hatch script text piece.

Matte gray.

Noted...

I believe this would be one piece. I'd be very surprised if it came in two pieces like the OEM version.

Most people install the OEM script. I don't think I've seen a Stinger with a non-oem Stinger script.

What oversized version are you seeing out there? Pic?

Inquiring minds want to know. :)
 
My understanding was that most people buy replacement badges, and that they are significantly larger than the one that comes from the factory applied to the left of the area for the license plate. The pictures I see here show them being wider than the (US) license plate, but the one from the factory is nowhere near that wide.

The ones I see on eBay and Amazon (for example) state they are 14" wide. The OEM badge from my Stinger (which I relocated to above the license plate) is just over 7" wide.

OEM Stinger script comes in two sizes. The ones most of us rebadge with are in fact OEM. They ship in OEM packaging with Kia part numbers on it. They are on 2017-current Stingers in Korea as well as the current GTSs sold here.

Correct. People are replacing their oval KIA emblem in the rear with the larger, 14" wide OEM STINGER emblem that's used in South Korea. South Korean Stingers don't get the smaller STINGER emblem on the left...
 
Sorry. By OEM, I meant the one that came as original equipment from the manufacturer on my vehicle.

So which size are you planning to sell? I might be interested in the ~7" in black chrome (although I already picked up a dupli-color black chrome kit to spray the OEM(!) one I already have. :) )
 
Gloss black, gloss red.

You're saying these will be casted in metal? Hopefully there won't be weight and rusting issues.

The smaller one from the other discussion is another product from the same manufacturer. I'll be selling both pieces.

Red seems to be a popular request. Yes, these will be metal pieces. What kind of weight issue are you thinking of? They'll be lighter than the oval emblems made by LODEN. The emblems don't rust, so these pieces won't rust either.

Yes, I am asking what size is the one you started this thread about. The one in the other thread is quite a bit smaller than the one I have now, and I'm not interested in the 14" version.

Ahh! Sorry, I should have posted this in the first message. It's the same exact size as the 14" OEM version...

I edited the first post because they may decide against using metal and go with ABS plastic like the OEM version. Reason being, they'll cost more than they're worth to people otherwise. I'm still looking for more input on whether or not I should stock this item...
 
Estimated cost? Importshark has it for 90 but that's insanely high plus terrible customer service.
