Where to find this Kia Motors emblem?

[brianwithnoy]

I've been looking for this specific emblem for a while now and I've only found it in one web store importshark but I just got an email saying that Kia Mobis has discontinued it (they are sending me a chrome version instead, which I agreed to)

Anyone know where I can buy one of these emblems? I really like the blue and black combo

The watermark on the pic states Importshark so that would be a good place to start.

I actually did find them on importshark and ordered them but they sent me an email that their supplier has discontinued these specific emblems. so i'm trying to see if anyone else knows another supplier for these emblems. cheers

I agree that the blue and black is the more attractive badge, by itself. Unless your car is neutral (black, white, silver, and of course blue), the blue and black won't look as complimentary as the chrome version (which Sal has, by the way).

The version Sal apparently still has in limited stock is the "flat" version of the chrome badge, which is actually closer to the black/blue version than the 3D version that Importshark shows in the pictures in terms of font and overall appearance.

I used to have the black/blue badge on my white Stinger, and was hoping to get the same for my panthera. I couldn't find the blue one, so I ordered the flat chrome one--it's actually more satin than chrome--and am really happy with how it looks. Looking forward to installing it.

Word of warning though, at least for the flat chrome or blue one: it does have two alignment pins but they not useful for installing on a North American Stinger hood, leaving you to find another way to align it. You technically could use one of them in the lowest alignment hole in the hood, but based on past experience, that doesn't place it optimally, neither vertically nor horizontally centered.

Edit: I forgot to mention that Sal indeed does not mess around with speed of shipping. I could swear my finger was still on the "submit" button when this arrived.
