Stinger Steering Wheel badge

The lighting outside doesn't do it justice from the glare. I tried to block the bright light outside the car but I ended up with a lot of glare and reflection. Looks awesome behind the steering wheel!

Be very careful! Many have tried and failed. I’m leaving mine on as I like the look on people’s faces when they realise it’s a Kia!

Is it the light? The edges look crinkled.

Someone else said the edges don't stick to the stock emblem's border.
I noticed that little bit of a crinkle when you are trying to get it to conform on the bottom edge mostly. So after sitting for a bit I went back out in the dark to take another pic and that crinkle is gone. I think it's the way the badge tucks under and it doesn't have quite enough surface to attach to. It is solid and looks great to me. I don't plan to mess with it. If for some reason it doesn't want to stay on I'll remove it, but I think it will stay right where it is. Here's another pic:

looks like its fitting properly , the key is a clean surface and some heat to encourage adhesion ..................
Yup, I think so.

Excuse my insolence ... I have rebadged everything. Front, back and wheel caps. I will not change the steering wheel badge because I want one remnant of who built this car. When I am older and greyed ... I will be able to look down everyday at the steering wheel and remind myself that I was a pioneer ... buying the first KIA Stinger!!!

Looks ok . I’m over the whole rebadged thing, did the wheel caps and that’s it for me.
Something for me doesn't quite work with the script on the wheel - maybe just too many letters and it is generally emblems we are used to being there as opposed to the model. Will wait and see what the E looks like I think.

Just a follow up, after fitting this early today, I have now removed it, it was a personal choice & have decided to keep the KIA Logo on display.

Unfortunately this did not want to stay on. I went out this morning and about half of it was detached from the steering wheel so I removed it. I will look at a different option...

Looks like he has the Stinger script sticker from Import Shark. There's been a few people now saying they don't stick properly.
The script from the above post.

Yes this was partially my problem, quality not that good, crinckled edges & front face remained tacky to touch even after cleaning.
