Two 3.3T badges

Just get two of these and chop off the T on the second one

If I mail you my Stinger could you do that on mine?

It's not really something that can be done remotely. All you have to do is get two of the 3.3T letterings and snip off the T on one--then stick it on along with the 3.3T of the first. Simple!

Just put that K badge on front and rear today. Feel like I need more carbon fiber now.

I have the same carbon fiber look, but the inside is white faux fiber. I love it

I don't think it's fair to Kia that built this car to hide that fact from the public. They deserve the credit. If you are seeking status, then put a big Mercedes star on the hood or a BMW logo on the deck lid. My badges will be Kia but the "E" badges with the original Kia on the hood because they look better on the hatch lid.

I've posted my origins on this elsewhere, but back in the day, the fad was to create "sleepers" that were not DE-badged, but RE-badged cars that made them into ordinary-looking grocery haulers. The Stinger is sort-of that way with a Kia logo. The Stinger has just only been released in the U.S. in January and it will take time to earn the respect of the pony-car kids. But it will, and the Kia logo will be respected as more than just a boring econobox. JMHO.

Hear Hear! The Stinger is a major milestone for KIA. I've had some top German cars and currently an SL but for the money nothing comes close to the Stinger (3.3). Your re-badge options are best in my view.
Well done KIA, you have my respect.

I just posted about these, but figured it would be good to throw an update here as well...

That Singer badge looks great. Do you have a link where I can see it on a car please? Interested to know how high it sits. I'd prefer a flush-fit, which looks unlikely, or a thinner edge, alas this looks the best I've seen!

They sit up a few millimeters. Kinda similar to the KDM E emblem. The OEM Kia emblems are tapered to virtually flush which not many other emblems are made to be like.

Awesome, thank you for your order with us!

I wonder why they're not made to sit flush. Very unusual.
Pity. It would have been ideal otherwise.
I'm not keen on the confusing E badge. Bought one but won't use.
Thank you for your reply Sarona.

They're pretty much the same as all other aftermarket emblems. In fact, I don't think any taper down like the OEM emblem. It's only something you'd notice from literally right up close. From a few feet back, they look like any other emblem.
