Kia Stinger Badge - Rebadge, Debadge or Leave it Stock , what is your preference?

[CajunStinger]

Hi! 1st time posting. Has anyone played around with creating an oval "Kia badge, but with the font style employed by the "Stinger script? I think that would be pretty cool...

Welcome, have a look at this thread

I completed my rear Kia badge delete the other day. It looks MUCH better.

Yea that's kinda what I assumed. It's great to hear that your dealership is helping out.

May I ask exactly what steps you took when initially attempting to remove the OEM emblems?

Update. They are covering the paint as defective and painting the whole bumper and hatch (if needed?)

That came out perfect. Did you do both front and rear?

[MENTION=321]robz32[/MENTION] I followed what these guys did in their video. Worked like a champ! https://youtu.be/kiiALs2rjsY
[MENTION=87]VegasStinger[/MENTION] I only did the rear and do not plan to change the front.

Can anyone take a photo of the back of the stinger script, I got mine off Amazon before I found this forum and trusted sources. The adhesive doesn't seem to be lined up on the letters properly

Which one did you get?

 

[Mike @ ImportShark]

I'm doing an install later on for a local Hyundai dealership and can take a picture of the back of the lettering with the wax paper removed before slapping it on the car

Seller is "rpmtrade" it might be legit just to me the adhesive seems to be not lined up on the lettering and not all that sticky

Here you go...just disregard the black junk that's stuck on the adhesive...

Oh damn...so it's not centered at all. That's a factory defect for sure. The seller should take it back no problem--especially if you got it on Amazon since they literally let anyone return anything at virtually any time for any reason. That's a legit reason tho.

I've got these in stock here in the USA if you might end up looking for them elsewhere!

Has anyone put a black stinger script on a Snow White stinger yet? For the back I mean.. and what is the difference between ?matte black? and ?glossy black?? Which would look better?

If anyone has a pic of there white stinger with the black script I would love to see it.. I think the black script on white car is the best way to go.. ?

We sold a bunch recently, so I'm sure you'll see pics pop up soon enough. Matte black (and matte black w/ matte clearcoat) looks like this finish...

Glossy black looks the same as OEM paint--it's clearcoated to have that showroom finish. If you've seen a black Stinger on the road or at your local dealership, then the glossy black Stinger lettering will look the same as the paint on the rest of the car. We've actually got two Stinger letterings at the paint shop right now getting done in glossy black. I'll post pics so people can see the difference between that and the matte options.
