Looks good!
I’m surprised KIA didn’t put any Stinger emblems on the interior, not even the door sills

I think it looks perfect there. Will it be an issue when opening the lid?

It wont work for that very issue !!

This is the pefect place for an embossed or debossed Stinger logo though !

I agree. I guess that's another one we need to add to the list.

not the last spot. airbag deploys there. that badge will slice through your head like a cantaloupe.

 

[Jonathan]

Yeah. Bad idea!

 

[Kia Stinger]

Damn, I really do LOVE it at the right side. It's a shame that the badge will decapitate you if the airbag activates! Darn...

 

[Manchuz]

Hold on now, let's not get it twisted.....the badge will decapitate your PASSENGER, not you. So all is well .

I think that spot is perfect as its noticeable and contrasts well with the black. Wouldn't make sense for me to put it on the tray as mine is always opened for power/usb cables.

It's a real shame Kia didn't use the "Stinger" branding more in the car.

Wouldnt that portion of the dash hinge to allow exit of the air bag , yes it must ! it wont decapitate you ! .....................it will break the passengers knee caps !

And not to dig my own grave, but out of the 22 years I've been driving, I've never had the airbags deployed. I really like that spot above the glove compartment.

I like it on the passenger side of the dashboard! If it kills your passenger, they won't be able to complain!

Does anyone actually know how the passenger side airbag deploys? Does it flip up? Flip down? Where is the hinge where it flips? Does it maybe not even move on that part at all? It may cut a smaller triangle on the dash and not even mess with that part at all. I put mine there for now and it looks great. I'm having an issue with it sticking correctly though so I ordered some 3m tape and will manipulate it to fit flush.
