• PLEASE! It is VERY important that this area is not used for the discussion of technical issues with your Stinger. This section is for posting about regional-specific things like Stinger clubs, events, local vendor or dealer recommendations, KiaStinger.com member sightings, etcetera... In other words, I do NOT want people to need to scour through several different sections to find answers about their heads up display. That's why there's a section dedicated specifically to discussions like that. THANK YOU!

I'm taking delivery of my Stinger today! (2019 GT2 AWD HiChroma Red) I am going to order the Stinger script badge for the rear, and am a little nervous about scuffing my clear coat on the removal, so I'm thinking about paying someone experienced to do it. Did most of you do this mod yourselves, or take it to someone? If the second option, can you recommend the person/shop? Thanks!
 
Greg at Patriot Auto Detail in Lorton, VA has done a lot of badge swaps for NOVA stingers. I had him do all of my badges. Tell him Bert Bert sent you
 
Mike at Xtreme Auto Details in Sterling/Brambleton offered to do mine. Was going to take it in to him on Thursday or Friday to have it done. They also did my ceramic coating.
 
Thanks for the replies! Every time I have been seeing Stingers on the road (pretty rare in general), they have had the long script across the back, and they looked perfect! I want mine to look like that, so I'll leave it to a professional.
 
Just had my badges done at Xtreme. I will say that he did a great job, but Mike was explaining to me that a body shop might be a better choice for future jobs. He didn't have a few pieces of equipment that would have made the job a lot easier (it took him about 2 hours). That being said, their service and quality has been nothing short of excellent and I'm very happy with my ceramic coating.

I'll upload some pics when I get home.
