I might just leave the front alone and swap out the one in back with the Stinger emblem.

Step 1 - heat up the badge


Step 2 - Use dental floor or vinyl tool to lift badge


Step 3 - Clean any remaining glue


Step 4 - Apply silicone over holes.



Step 5 - Apply template.


Step 6 - Install new badge.


Step 7 - Final results.

I?ve already done mine. I got my badges from www.tuscanicustoms.com who sell the genuine ?e? badges for front and wheel caps as well as the stinger script for the rear and various other badges. Here are some pics....

I just received the larger stinger badge that comes on the European models. Can anyone confirm what holes (if any) are behind the KIA badge on the rear trunk? I am not very interested in filling holes and having the panel repainted. Anyone have some insight as to what is behind the KIA badge?

Thanks.

That came out perfect. Did you do both front and rear?

[MENTION=321]robz32[/MENTION] I followed what these guys did in their video. Worked like a champ! https://youtu.be/kiiALs2rjsY
[MENTION=87]VegasStinger[/MENTION] I only did the rear and do not plan to change the front.

Which one did you get?
Seller is "rpmtrade" it might be legit just to me the adhesive seems to be not lined up on the lettering and not all that sticky
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B074...=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=rpmtrade
I'm doing an install later on for a local Hyundai dealership and can take a picture of the back of the lettering with the wax paper removed before slapping it on the car
Would really appreciate it

Can anyone take a photo of the back of the stinger script, I got mine off Amazon before I found this forum and trusted sources. The adhesive doesn't seem to be lined up on the letters properly
Here you go...just disregard the black junk that's stuck on the adhesive... ;)

How did you get them to cover it? Looks like I'm one of the other unlucky ones. Just removed my rear badge and the paint underneath is all uneven and it took a Lyle of the paint off. Gong to try to have the dealer repaint it. Sorry for the reflection.

de badging

Yes I de badged as well. Also done my wheels already but swapping my wheels out shortly anyway.
Want to do the steering wheel as well but looks a pain in the ass. I bought the badge but looks more trouble than its worth

Has anyone seen the ?K? badges made in a high quality? I have ordered different ones in the past and they are all just ?plastic k?s? over an enamel oval piece, vs- the hard see thru plastic that the KIA is in?

Are these too cheap looking?
