The KIA Telluride in Wolf Gray

[FL TITAN]

Thanks FL Titan. Pictures look great. I’m planning on ordering a Telluride very soon, and I plan on wrapping the roof, door handles, and after seeing your car, the spoiler will be wrapped also. It just gives the car a little extra pop.

Thank you and good luck with the ordering and waiting process. Better get in line soon or you will be getting a 2023 and we all know they will be having another price increase..,,

Rocko - Here ya go, any other questions just let me know.

Nice wrap!

I just got my 2022 wolf gray nightfall a couple weeks ago and noticed that it is missing the TELLURIDE badging on the rear lift gate. Anyone else missing theirs too? I’m not complaining since I’m also tempted to remove the and SX and the new KIA badge from the rear too but was just wondering why mine seems different from the rest.

That’s pretty funny. How does it look? Post a photo!

If it's a 2022, you should not have "SX" badge in the back, only "AWD", Telluride letters, and the new KN logo. That's weird if the TELLURIDE badging is missing - post a pic.

Was going off memory but you’re right it’s got the AWD badge, not the SX here is the pic

It’s strange the vehicle got through quality control without anyone noticing. I actually like the Telluride letters, but it’s your preference if you want to ask the dealer to add the letters where they should be.
I have a ‘21, so not sure what’s under the rear KIA badge on the 22 model, but there will be an oval shaped indentation where the letters currently sit. Since you already have NF, the KIA letters might look good blacked out.

Added some MGP Custom Caliper Covers today.

I like those covers. Very nice.

Yeah. Definitely weird nobody noticed it unless it was purposely removed at the dealer for some reason. Since the new logo appears to be quite flat and thin I wonder if it’s on there with just a sticker and no hole. Can anyone confirm? If so, then I’ll probably just remove it along with the AWD. Seems cleaner and less distracting from the overall look of the car that way.

This user removed the rear badge altogether, there's just a flat spot where the badge was. Looks relatively easy to remove, too:
EDIT: nevermind, later in the post he talks about paint/body damage from removing the rear badge, that the dealer had to fix. Might be a pain.

Badge modifications on 2022 Telluride Nightsky

Hello, Wanted to share a couple of badge modification's to my 2022 Telluride Wolf Grey Nightsky (Canada). First I had my Dealer remove all badges including the brushed aluminum KIA badge on rear of Telluride and order me the 2021 Telluride badge. I had them install it in line with the rear...

Confirmed, no holes in the rear. You can heat it up and get it off with fishing line or dental floss.

Some people have ordered 2020/21 rear TELLURIDE letters, since they are a tiny bit larger and spread wider, and look better without the KN logo. They would come with a template that helps you space them correctly.

Picked up my Wolf gray Telly on Friday and had to snap this photo at work. Well worth the 3-4 month wait.

When we put an order in on a 2021 Telluride last August, our intent was white (we are partial to white). Then we saw the K5 in this new Wolf Gray color that really caught our eye. We changed our order to Wolf Gray and when it came in last October, it looked better than we thought. We made the right decision and we regularly get compliments on how good it looks.

I think Wolf Gray was the right choice. I saw the Glacial white pearl and didn't like it as much as the Snow white pearl that's on my Sportage. I saw the Wolf Gray the other day, and that's what I ordered.

I am not sure what everyone was expecting and why they were so excited about it. Being old enough to have had a black & white TV when I was a kid, I can tell you gray is not a color, but a shade between black and white! I always loved metallic colors too...and can’t imagine having a flat color on a car unless it was something really bright. RIP Snow White Pearl—that was a badass color—and now they’ve changed it to “Work-Truck White”. I don’t get it

I agree 100%. Snow White Pearl is the best. "Work-Truck White" I wouldn't buy. Major disappointment.

It looks even better in person.

I, too, was torn between the GG and the WG. I went with the WG after viewing road salt on the GG. The darker color of GG looks great when it's clean, but living in the snow belt, the darker color is harder to keep clean. The black color looks sweet when it's clean, but it shows all the dirt faster than the lighter WG. At least that was a deciding factor in my choice.

the running boards complete the look ! 100% must have for a Telly !!

Would like to see pics of the running boards. Am undecided on going with the KIA chrome or an after market black. Thanks

I just did 20 on the front two windows. They measured the factory rear tint and it was about a 26. The tint looks identical though, since the front cabin has light coming in from the windshield.

I’ll grab some pics today and upload.

I love the look of the tinted windows. What would someone expect to pay to have the two front windows tinted? Thanks

Changed my mind. Just saw a White SX Nightfall at a dealership, and I would buy it. Although I do like the snow-white pearl better.

We got ours with running boards. I think it just makes it.
