Will 2022 logo align with front pins of older logo placement?

[FiverBro]

Hey! New here with a 2020 GT1, still have stock badging, and haven’t decided how/if I’ll rebadge the front logo.
One idea I’ve played around with is using the new badge from the 2022 model year painting it gloss black and placing that on the front end, however I’m unsure of whether it will align with the pin holes from the older badge style?
Has anyone attempted this or have a reasonable idea of how the new badge would cover the holes? I’d prefer not to have to fill/sand/repaint the front to achieve something like this.

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. I’m glad you found us! What did the Stinger replace for you?

As for emblems, there are oval versions with the new design. I’m not certain if there are holes beneath the 2022 but the ovals would certainly cover them if there are. Check out the forum store and vendor section for lots of other options that might interest you.

It replaced my ‘06 Maxima, It’s quite the jump for me, so I’m quite impressed by the stinger haha.

I may resort to an oval badge, but I think the new logo in black would look really clean on the grey color I have. Still exploring my options.

Welcome! Another member removed the new logo and said that it is just a metal "sticker". Some searchng on here and it will come up. As for covering the holes, i don't believe it will. Just from posts i have read.

I wondered if that may be the case. I’d imagine it won’t match up to the holes too cleanly.

That "someone" pointed out that the New KIA badge can cover the holes, but then the badge won't be centered.

Welcome to the forum.

Just put some self tapping screws in the holes and no one will notice. Hahaha!
