Looking at your dates, that’s wild that you ordered exactly 1 year before receiving it. What are the odds of that happening.

Getting PPF, like the clean look???



Yeah me neither. Had the letters put back on. How else will everyone know what it is?

I had a lady stop right in front of mine once and ask me what kind of car it was.

"Lady, there's like a 4 foot badge on the hood..."

I have a theory is that one of the reasons for removing the TELLURIDE badge from the hood of all the 2023s -- in addition to the rather obvious point that after three years, Kia just wanted to make a cosmetic change for the sake of change -- is branding. Now that the Telluride has established itself as a widely praised and highly desirable vehicle, and is basically sold out everywhere, Kia wants more of the model's goodwill to rub off on the rest of the company. That is, at this stage Kia wants the primary brand to be KIA, not TELLURIDE. The company wants onlookers to say, "Wow, look at that nice Kia!" before they say, "Wow, look at that nice Telluride!" The revised badging will help push public sentiment in that direction, I believe Kia hopes.

If it looked good I would remove my lettering in a heartbeat. Tough to keep that area clean and I'm always snagging towels on the letters.
