PROUDLY WEAR YOUR KIA BADGE OR CHANGE IT?

Well just see if the new badge coveres kia badge.

So you think putting the new circle badge right over the clear bra is ok? It's going to be part on and part off because of the way the bra circles around the bottom of the oval Kia logo.

I did mine recently and have the clear bra. Bottom of badge does cover it slightly as seen in the pic.

It’s got a rectangular cut out around badge. Not good coverage for stone chips.

Thanks for the pic. I guess that's what mine will look like because there's no way I'm precise enough to cut out that small bit for the circle. Do you think the badge lays flat/flush enough even with the clear bra under part of it?

Well those clear bras from the factory are meant for the Kia oval so after a rebadge there's not much you can do short of getting the car wrapped again.

Yes but oval badge and rectangular cut does not make sense anyway.

For the top half yeah, bottom half works ok.

I did it yesterday - I think it came out decent.

Yours definitely looks good better than decent . I took the GT moved it over to the left side to balance things out. The stinger script in chrome was almost lost in the white . Bought another script found this Shadow Chrome Black Out Coating Kit by Dupli-Color Came out pretty good looks like the Crome mirrors and the front end . Anyway I have the two new badges to paint but after I took them off I decided to leave them off for a while I can always put them on later thought it looked a little bit cleaner this way .

I am toying with removing my "AWD" badge from the car. It's just not as good looking abadge as the "GT" or "Stinger" ones.

I’m not changing a thing. Wearing my badges proudly.

They have a 3.3T badge in the store which would balance it out just a thought .

I ordered the Stinger logo for the back, I just hope it doesn’t fade with the weather or something. I was hoping to find one with the same type of chrome like the front bumper has. I found gold/rose gold/black, the black would be sweet but the car is black.

The rear Stinger badge is an OEM part. It doesn't fade.

That’s what I got, I problems before with parts like it. Thanks for sharing that website, those center wheel “GT” caps look sweet.

Kia made a hell of a car and I'm keeping it as is. I actually think that's part of the charm of this vehicle...people are surprised to learn it's a Kia. Hopefully the Stinger is successful and many future generations will follow.

i am keeping my KIA badges, they are my cloak of invisibility.

 

[NYLAWBIZ]

As long as the badges are OEM (albeit Korea OEM) they are authentic and fine by me. The only badge I purchased that is not OEM is a sticker overlay for the steering wheel. I like the way the Korean badging looks. also waiting for the 3.3T badge to come to balance the back.

What do you guys think of removing the AWD badge? It's not really good looking and would allow the car to look at least a little more balanced with just the GT logo.

I think the AWD is meaningful, not superfluous. Doesn't take away, just distinguishes the car from RWD models.
