What are your thoughts on this alternative STINGER letter emblem set?

[Kia Stinger]

One of the manufacturers is working on something unique for the Stinger. They're made of the same ABS plastic as the OEM STINGER letter emblems - and will come in matte black and glossy black. Perhaps other colors, I'm not certain. Let me know your thoughts...

LOWEST PRICE ON EARTH!

That's a different approach. If they are as solid quality as the pics indicate, then they won't be falling off anytime soon if at all. I think they'll look good (but I'm staying OEM, because that is my preference: don't change the car from when I rolled off the lot with it).

Looks fine, not my cup of tea though. I'm not even a fan of similar lettering on porsche's.

They’d never fall off.

I think it’ll be a love it or hate it kind of thing. I need to get a picture with them on a Stinger form the best affect.

Most rebadging mods are!

I've always loved this style of badge (uppercase and with letters spaced apart) however, in my personal opinion, this style is becoming too common. Once associated with Range Rover, now everyone including Ford, GM, Toyota and VW are using it.

The factory 'Stinger' script on the boot is far more unique and recognisable.

Yes, even Lexus now. Have you seen that? It's odd have all the brands need to copy one another. I think it'll be a good look for the Stinger, but you're right, the current cursive font is unique. Only similar to Maserati. And that's not a bad thing.

Looks better than I would have suspected. [still not going to be anything I wanted to do, but looks objectively good]

 

[Deviate]

I will agree with @stoopid thoughts. Not for me but not not bad though.

 

[AYip31]

I like it. Maybe a tad bigger.

I love something like this.

 

[MerlintheMad]

The idea works, but the execution is off. As already said, bigger would look better: it would relieve the scrunch of the "S" and "E": they look too blacked out compared to the rest of the letters. What I see in the pics are two almost solid black rectangles. Maybe in real life that impression isn't there?

 

[MrE]

I like it, I think it looks good.

I see Merlin's point re the S and E, and in that dark lettering they'd be even harder to recognise on a car with dark paint, but I don't think the overall script itself would look better if it were bigger.

I don't have a solution, lol, but I do like it.

 

[Rodtheviking]

Not for me.

 

[jrochabeats]

I'm a fan. Would definitely give it a go.

I heard the process is more involved, but would love this in a black chrome finish.

Here are some additional pictures of the alternative Stinger lettering.

^^^Is there some change since the original pics?

I believe there has been. The first set I received was not the final product. I should have kept that set but I sent it back. What you're seeing in these pictures is what I've been shipping for the past few weeks since I received my first official batch.

^^^I see it now, the lettering is a tad bigger (and maybe spaced wider apart). In the first pics, the sensor lines up with the middle of the "R", now it lines up to the left of the "R".

Just spent $50 for the glossy black and no matter what, they are far to small to cover the holes in my 2019. If they were just a little bigger I could make it work though. Oh well….

I just recently bought a 2019 Stinger GT2 w/10k miles, pretty much new, so far I’ve bought a lot of things from KDMWAREHOUSE and have been very happy, until I bought these alternative style lettering. If only they were just a tad bigger. No matter how I try to modify the template, not one of these letters is big enough to cover the larger hole on the left side of trunk. I even bought the cursive style before I saw these, and to get that to almost cover the left hole you have to install it so far off center that it’s actually noticeable. Does anyone make these, but BIGGER?

Notice left hole is wider then on right, sorry I didn’t flip the picture correctly before posting
