Will/would/have you rebadge(d) your Stinger?

Not a huge fan of that either, reminds me of that group from back in the day, NIN.

Well, i wouldn't listen to that kinda music in a million years but I remember the weird kids in highschool that were into that kinda stuff.

I am that "weird" kid I guess.

Nine Inch Nails were the bomb in the 90s. Funny now that it’s been mentioned I kinda see it in the logo, but I love how Kia connected all the letters.

The fact that some members shown that their front badge had the clear coat applied OVER it scared me a little bit.

I don't want to remove the badge and hurt the paint around it. I might ask my dealership to do it.

I had my badges front and rear done at a local body shop, it looks great . It cost me $60. They had it done in less than an hour.

Question to people who rebaged the back of their car. After you remove the KIA badge, it is recommended to put some sort of sealant inside the two holes. I saw some people put silicone, some people put some sort of metal goo that hardens. My question is.... Since the whole is still there and you are doing it at home with whayever tools you got, wouldn't there still be some small hole/opening or an uneven surface? If so, wouldn't this just be an invite to rust?

Anyone here from Sydney Australia and found a decent bodyshop to do it? I really dont want to do it myself if possible

We redid mine, Hubby loves the fact people cannot figure out what kind of car it is.

I am in the process of rebadging mine. I have ordered GT hubcap overlays, classic Kia badge on the front, and a Stinger badge on the steering wheel.

When is Kia officially putting the new logo/badge on in the US? See attached. I will rebadge with that for sure. Mine is only a few months old anyway so I can wait. I think rebadging to the E or K is getting a bit stale and too common.

this looks way better to me than the E or K badge. if it becomes available i'll rebadge with this as well.

Just rebadged mine. First time I ever rebadged a vehicle.

 

[razor_ro]

I ordered from the stinger forums...

For the stinger emblem on the back supposed to be 1 piece or 2? Mine came split between the N and the G... the glue on the back is holding them together

Give these guys a call, if local for you.

i just rebadged, ... ordered from stinger forums, didn't realize everything was a sticker ... accidentally removed the front badge thinking what came was a replacement not a sticker that goes over

i think i am going to replace it, anyone have any good emblem places that have the fancy looking K badge that is a replacement badge? otherwise, the steering wheel, rim and back stinger badge look ok to me

I got my K badge from Korean Auto imports, they have a warehouse in the US, that's where it was sent from, they have all sorts of badges, colours and are weighty and good quality.
Then there is Emblems only which is US based.

 

[razor_ro]

I just re-ordered a new front badge that is not an overlay from the kdm warehouse... my fault for ordering the wrong item, guess I’ll have to wait another 2 weeks for it :/

Does anyone know a site that has the 14 inch Stinger emblem and the GT emblem for the trunk in black? I also want the AWD emblem black but that seems less likely, might have to just remove it all together.
