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

[Spyder168]

Thank you

They call the design a wheel behind a wheel, it took them a long time to be able to machine it as it is very complicated I guess to manufacture, it's a 3D design, in person they are amazing looking.

Here's a question I have for those of you who replaced the rear Kia badge with the "Stinger" scroll: did you have to fill and paint any holes from the KIA badge posts? From one video I saw on YouTube, the dude had a little trouble getting the Stinger letters to fully cover the former post holes.

I rebadged mine as soon as I got it with the OE E badge, E wheel caps, And E steering wheel logo cover, it already had the chrome stinger script across the back but I changed it to the OE carbon fiber script to go with the rest of the carbon fiber bits already on the car

Did it this weekend...E wheel covers were supposed to come today, now Friday. So much for paying $10 for "priority" shipping.

I get alot of things from k8 stinger and have never had a problem, I just bought a bunch of stuff from kiastinger.com for the first time so I don't know how their delivery is gonna go, seems like nowadays your just at the mercy of the shipper no matter how much extra you pay

 

[CapitalGains]

I'll check that place out, haven't heard of it before.

Does rebadging void any warranties?

No

 

[Spyder168]

No

I'll second that... It will not void anything, do not worry at all! Rebadge Rebadge Rebadge!

Mine came rebadged with the K. Kinda like the new logo but think I'll stick with it for a while. Doesn't look bad. And the rear already had "Stinger" large print so I'm happy.

I played around with a few ideas

"Badges? We don't need no stinkin' Badges!"

I de-badge all of my vehicles and have done so for the past 6 vehicles. The only reason this car has two badges is because there holes underneath that needed to be covered. As a result, E on the nose and Stinger script on the tail.

Interesting...

I went with a 2022 Kia overlay for the front for now, might change it up since I'm not 100% happy with how it turned out. "S" overlays for the center caps. Have a 2020 so it already has the Stinger script on the back. Although I may swap that for a black chrome version. I feel that would be a better match as the car has no regular chrome.

Yeah, I totally agree... and what is it with Kia and 'badge holes'? I haven't seen one on another brand for years. I've debadged Volvos & a Dodge truck with lots of badges: brand, model, 'ram', 'cummins' all over the truck, & not a single hole...

Ford does it, I had a 2015 mustang and every badge had holes. But happy to report my 2022 stinger has zero holes so i pulled the rear badges all off. If i knew before i got ppf i would have pulled the front badge off too, but now it is too late. :/

Simple binary poll.

Rebadging includes any changes to the appearance of the stock badges - replacing them, covering them, altering them in any way.

I've been thinking about the Canadian spec badges with the big Kia center badge and the small stinger on the left... has anyone done this here?

Interested in this as well as my Canadian Stinger joins the family in two days and the only thing I don't like to the big KIA logo in the center of the truck lid and the small Stinger off to the left. I like the new KIA logo, just not where they have it on the rear.

I don’t have any original badging on mine in or out. You shouldn’t have any problem doing it yourself, unless of course you’re like one of those cement handed wingers that couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn from the slot.

although you guys' look awesome, for me no i like the newest logo and badges enough to not change, plus i spent this much on a car, i don't want to f with it although it's fg with me.
