About that Kia badge...

[Kia Stinger]

Well, I found it here:
https://bestautocentral.com/product...t-for-january-21-2002-june-1-2004-kia-sorento

But it's not looking that great. I wonder if I could somehow modify it to look better.

modify it to look better

@voon 's badge is essentially this one: with a red background with a less boldened typeface. Red is actually KIA's corporate color. The blue is OK, the red looks classic. iMHO.

I've just deleted the Kia badge on my steering wheel and wheels . used 3m Carbon Vinyl

I have the E caps on order but I might just stay with this

Not bad. Personally, I like to give credit, where credit is due....
How did you handle the remaining badges?

Wheels look awesome, not sure I like the look on the steering wheel though.

the photo doesnt show it well due to the flash , it reads as neutral . I looks pretty good , I just dont want to put the E on everything because it requires too much explanation .....................

I put the E on the front , removed all rear badges and simply put the STINGER ( painted flat black ) emblem on the back

Hah! They asked if your Sorento was a Maserati? the badge does look like it could represent the brand...

Its black with stainless skid pads front and rear with the brushed aluminum running boards , it definitly looks upscale . Get a lot of compliments on it and then tell them its a Kia , lots of fun . I think i've sold 6 of them so far

 

[moinmoin]

put the STINGER

I like what you did to the back. I'll do eventually the same placement. In addition, and if I can obtain another of the small "stinger" badges, will put the garnish on the front fenders. Maybe

You've sold 6 Sorentos? I'd love to see a picture of the Sorento with the badges...

 

[moinmoin]

I might be willing

Yeah, and when you see it mounted, you want it back.......

character flaw ! bawaaa , I'll see where it is , the dealer may have trashed it

I think the blue thing was named the badge used in Korea. I assume they use it in SK? KIA is the "international" badge. But strangely, I can't find anything like the blue one on ebay or elsewhere.

Yeah, me neither. I would have really liked that one...

Maybe more than 6 , when people hear my misery story and history of BMW ownership my accolades for the Sorento are convincing , they are a great SUV ( well the SX V6 loaded at least )

 

[moinmoin]

can't find

Don't worry, I think it should be "red" badge anyway. Thanks!

Speaking of the Kia Sorrento, it just got a nice refresh...
