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

[P-Ambridge]

Yeah I'm kinda in the same boat. I'm not ashamed, but do think the KIA name design isn't much to look at (and you have to look at the steering wheel badge all the time) and that would be the reason if I changed the badges.

However, when asked what car it is, you've still got to explain it's a Kia and in the UK at least, still got to explain why on earth you've bought a Kia.

So hmmmmm, I'm undecided what to do. But I do think Kia should sell the Stinger as more Stinger, less Kia. I mean really?! ONE Stinger badge?!

I still wanted everyone to know my Stinger blue edition was a KIA but really didn't like the old KIA logo... So I installed one of these retro South Korea logos on the front and it turns heads! Seriously looks good and doesn't disguise the fact its a KIA!

The Korean K is where it's at.

Loden Anzu T badge. Marketed towards us and the Hyundai cars. I figure it just looks different.

It looks good in that spot. But the "T" badge is marketed to pretty much the pack. If you do a "Loden Anzu T badge" search, you come with the usual suspects. Aston Martin on top, really?

I like that paint job you got going, that front lip is way too busy for my taste but the color combo is nice. Is it carbon fiber or painted grey?

[Landshark]

It's carbon fiber. The Adro Final Edition front lip and matching side skirts are on the car along with the V3 spoiler. Aggressive look for some and I get that. But the judges seem to love it all at the shows. Five shows and five trophies this year. One show last year and won best import at that one as well. Never thought of putting it in a show until my wife suggested it last year.

Thanks. I know some others have done this color combination. I just tried to lay it out a little differently. Some red lighting to pop at night shows too. Just finished last night. An in process pic.

Previous 1st owner rebadged the car to all "E" badging.

This look wasn't for me so I re-rebadged the car back to the OEM kia style
