Front-End Friday

Agree 100%

I'm not letting my baby go.

Aesthetics matter.

Plus I like my Dune Brown interior and the analog gauges. Can still see them when the car is off. When I shift into park at night, the glow of the blood orange ambient lights =

Yes, how did they get rid of dune brown? That new bright orange and diamond stitch seating looks very Hyundai. So wild, not the least bit elegant imo. I could deal with the color but the stitch is gross. Dune was so much better anyway.

Cost-cutting?

Maybe the Dune Brown Interior Feedback thread on this Forum was a bit too successful in convincing buyers to go Dune to the Moon?

Dune Brown Interior Feedback

Hello! I'm leaning to ordering Boss Moss with Dune Brown Interior...of course I have seen neither in person and am shooting from the hip. Wondering if people could send me pictures if they have this setup or just a rough idea of how they like their interior. I believe @jw_tx21 has this combo...

tellurideforum.org

I'm only half-joking.

Remember Dune was just one of 3 color choices for the Prestige Package (Nappa leather seats) option for 2020-2021 model years, then for 2022, it cost an extra few hundred bucks on top of the package cost?

Now it's been eliminated altogether for 2023 Telluride.
Maybe it was the "victim of its own success"? or whatever companies say when they no longer offer a popular menu item.

I can only hope that Kia offers a "throwback edition" in a future refresh that brings back Dune Brown. It goes especially well with Black, White, Dark Moss, Gray, ES exteriors.

I actually don't have any pics other than this with my DRL on. Plus it has the added benefit of not having that just washed look.

Sideways tellies are the bestest tellies!

Plastidipped with flex blue and sapphire metallic. Popped the DRLs on for that Houston Astros Theme for the World series win.

I don’t mind the light set up but not a fan of the big bumper fascia. I can see it being referred to as the “Kia lips” much like the old Mazda 3s had the “Mazda smile”.

Sorry about that. I couldn’t figure out how to rotate the pic. Guess I’m too old. LOL

Happy Front-End Friday !!

 

[DarkMossJustin]

Y'all still have phone cameras, right?

No excuses.

Post 'em up, and happy FEF!

Phone cameras now are way to many MPixeles. Cant post any pic.

It’s easy to reduce the size, especially if using a newer iPhone.
