Nightfall Kia logo

Any of you guys changed the front kia emblem from the standard one to the blacked out one from the nightfall sportage? Going to attempt the badge change tomorrow and will post pics.

Wow, this actually looks nice. Where did you buy it?

I got it from the Kia dealer I work for. It is slightly bigger than the stock one since it's from the Sportage. But I'm hoping the pins all line up. It was $25 retail so I couldn't pass it up.

Even if the pins don't line up (I would expect not), they can be ground off. If you happen to damage your paint getting the OE KIA off, this one will cover your sins! I think it looks great.

That's what I'm thinking too. But from the pics I've seen on here were people are swapping to the korean badge, it seems the pin holes in the bumper are the same as on the nightfall badge. So fingers crossed.

Has anyone tried vinyl tinting the existing badges? I like the smoked look to coordinate with the black chrome. Subdues just the perfect amount IMHO.

Telluride ,not Sportage

Do you think the nightfall telluride wheel center caps fit the stinger?

No we have a Sportage nightfall now as well. The telluride badges are enormous compared to the one on our cars lol.

I guess that would've been too easy!

Look at the shape of your center cap you will quickly realize it does not fit... I have heard that in North America the MY22 will be available with a Shadow or dark theme so maybe this will badges will come to the Stinger next year.

Exactly the situation I’m in. I have been feverishly looking for a solution for my shit job taking off the front badge

wow that badge looks sick, please post results

I just ordered. Should have it in a few days

Unfortunately I gave up my attempts. The pins don't match up which I knew would be the case. So grinding all the pins off, I was excited to mount it, only to be immediately dissapointed. The curve of the Sportage nightfall badge is pretty far off of the curve of the Stinger bumper. So the badge will not fit flush and just looks weird.
My solution finally came a month later, when I fixed the badge issue by trading my 19 Stinger in for a 2022 with the new badging lol.

Ah shit I didn’t even think of that curvature. SOB! Anyone else had luck with putting a larger badge on?
