About that Kia badge...

[Kia Stinger]

Nope , keep the current font and add 4 , refer to the E badge for background , it's a carbon fiber look . Nice to be consistant . this is great !!

Okay, so we're doing a GT4 for AWD. What about anyone without AWD? I think I can safely use a very similar font - but not exact (for this reason). Besides, the pieces are going to be so small that I'm not sure how much it would matter for the font to match up exactly with the Kia version...

Could just do GT for RWD , hell it might make sense to just do GT since it will be so small anyway

Thanks !!

I really do want to work on this. It sounds like fun. I just need to use a different font than Kia uses or I'll need to get in touch with Kia and pay franchising fees to use that lettering as it is a registered trademark. If I were to pay licensing fees for these things - they'd all cost more than anyone would be willing to pay.

I hear you , try to get it as close as possible with a drop shadow and CF background and see

I'll be working on this. I should have a few first drafts by tomorrow...

Wow, if you can make these, who wouldn't want to order from you to support the site?

Personally, I'd order GT only (not GT4) regardless of AWD.

Also, here are a couple of (not so great) shots of the 3dcarsticker vinyl caps I installed on aftermarket wheels. Again, great quality and OEM-looking.

Thank you. And those vinyl wheel caps do look really nice. I'm going to come up with something - unless somebody else beats me to it. I just need to find a good font that closely resembles Kia's GT...

I have my Stinger Soldiers following leads as we speak... Or type.

Anyone following the leads to the badges? The blue ones are clearcoated I think ... can't get the red color under it there and stickers on top would look silly ... dang. Still trying to figure out how to get a proper badge with nice red and properly clearcoated.

Myself experimenting with 3D Print Ideas, but I find it difficul to create a proper font.

I should have more time to look into those badges tomorrow - my next full day in the office. I wouldn't mind a reminder, though, as I'm working on a lot of things lately...

OK , I've been in touch with the guy CorradoMR2 reco'd and forwarded him 3 GT images and the E badge as a reference point , he will do up a sample image and get back to me . I mentioned it could be a sizeable order given the interest on the Forum, maybe you could source and re sell for the site if they look OK ..........................

That sounds good. I wonder what he'll come up with. I can definitely get vinyl badges done. Finding a good font to match Kia's isn't easy so we might need to just develop something on our own - pixel by pixel.

I understand your concern about the font but I really want the exact thing so lets see what he comes up with ....................

Hey , just a quick question when are you getting those new E wheels stars in ??

Thanks

They'll be here this week. And I ship out the same day I receive them. I'm placing a much bigger order this time so I should have plenty without having to worry about waiting on arrival. It seems everything is being closely monitored by U.S. Customs and Border Protection - so it's taking a long time to get anything shipped in. Way longer than usual. But I expect my shipment this week...

I'm in Calgary, and that is the teaser pic of the car I was thought I was getting ... until the sales guy said it was spoken for and he was just sending it to me for reference. He literally said "Here it is!!!" and sent half a dozen pics. When I asked when I could pick it up, he told me "... oh sorry, this one is sold and is leaving today.".
