Let's call it Rebadged! Looks good!

So I am planning to rebadge the exterior. The Front change to the E logo. From what I have seen, its simply a matter of removing the KIA logo, cutting a pin off the new logo and re-applying

On the rear there are 3 sets of badges. I'd like to remove them all and put a larger stinger logo centered on the rear trunk.

Does anyone know if there are any pins in the back 3 sets?

Went for the "E" all around, front emblem was an absolute unit to take off... Kia wasn't messing around this time. Minimal damage overall to the paint and I am pretty stoked to now be officially incognito to the untrained eye.

Probably just the Kia logo, the others usually don't have pins in my experience.

@Bigblaris, that Stinger looks awesome in black!
The first re-badging item I bought the day I got my Stinger were plain, simple, chrome license plate frames to get rid of the black plastic ones with the dealer name on them. And thank God they didn’t put any dealer name stickers or emblems on the rear of the car on the paint! Before I signed I told them I did not want any stickers or chrome dealer nameplates on the car and that if I get good service from them I’ll advertise them more than any sticker or license frame plate will. So far I’ve been extremely pleased with their service department.

I've got the front and rear vintage K adhesive emblems coming as well as the GT emblems for the wheel caps and stinger logo for the steering wheel.

Going to go with adhesive stuff before venturing into activities that could remove paint from the car.

Picking up my powder coated rims tomorrow. Got plastic center caps painted black to go with them.

If you take your time to remove OEM Emblems you won't have any issues with your paint, I did my front and had no issues...using a hair dryer and some very thin edged bondo or putty applicators that are soft plastic but somewhat stiff, just go slow and the heat on the emblem itself will soften the tape and it will start to raise up to where you can get it off. There are pins in the front Kia emblem, so just go slow and the results will be fine.

But the logo you mounted is the exact same size and shape correct? I really like the round all metal one which is smaller if I were going to do a badge swap

It's a 4.5inch I believe, with no pins, I got it from Sal at KDM WAREHOUSE, you can contact him directly, as there is one size bigger, 5inch if I'm not mistaken, or 5.5? He initially recommended the larger size but I had already ordered and it was shipped out. I'm happy with the 4.5inch emblem.

To your original question it is a bit smaller than stock.

If your interested in center cap overlays...check these out

 

[Spyder168]

There are other colors also.

And steering wheel overlay...

That's basically what I ordered for both the steering wheel and the wheel caps although I got the stinger logo version for both.

Now I'm stuck waiting for all of the stuff. Still haven't seen my replacements for the rear reflectors that i ordered 3 1/2 weeks ago. Shipping from the US to Canada currently is simply flat out stupid slow.

Unfortunately the USPS is a moving snail out here also and that's even in the same state deliveries and some local shipping, it's gotten horrible! these days. Be patient and it'll get there, good luck man! I'm going to put on my Eibach rear swaybar and subframe bolts and collars tonight, that's supposed to really get rid of that unstable rear end jitters over bad roads when your trying to get on it a little bit and with the body roll, the front swaybar is on its way.
