Yeah, I don’t know how the upper grill one would look, but it can’t be good. I’ll take my chances with the rocks and debris over something covering part of the main grill. I think what you did was smart and probably isn’t noticeable.
I have all four pieces. All four go inside the grill and no one even knows they are there unless they are looking.
Black on black and behind the grill - not one in a million people will ever spot it.
Oh, okay. I see. One of the pics had me thinking it would jut out or at least partially be exposed. With that not being the case, this does sound like a solid purchase to protect your beautiful investment, haha.
I keep trying to attach a picture, but it won't. But the picture in my profile is with all four screens installed.
Yeah. I see it, but only because I knew it was there and was looking for it. Otherwise, you would never see it like y’all mentioned previously.
Here are the pictures finally since the forums weren't working the other day.
How should I know which design to choose from (totally objective?).....black welded or woven stainless steel mesh patterns, as well as the black powder-coated expanded metal mesh. My Car is a 2024 SX White.. I plan to put them behind the openings and grill as they are not as noticeable.. Does the material really matter at all? I also prefer to give it to my reliable body shop and give him a few bucks to place it discreetly behind the bumper. Why attatch this screen in front of our $55-$60 ride? One more question... Should installing these screens affect out factory warranties in any way? Manufacturers are always looking for loopholes. I can't see how with all the claims on a/c condensors from road debris this should be an issue... but I'm trying to cover all the bases.
It really does not matter which stainless steel option you get. Either is sufficient. The difference is mesh size. Do not overthink it. The expanded metal is not an option for your 24.
It looks great very nice.
Yessir. Got a VIP KIA overlay on the way. That should just about have it all covered, unless anyone has some more ideas?
That’s awesome. I can’t wait to see the two tone look. I need to get the infotainment screen protector as my screen is already smudged to high hell, haha. I’ve also thought about doing some front PPF work, but I’m on the fence about it due to the fact that it costs a decent amount of money but you get no visual benefit or pleasure from it, but I know at the end of the day, you are protecting key areas for down the road. That is why I can’t pull the trigger just yet. If you don’t mind me asking, how much was did it run you to get your PPF done?
A bit of advice on this - they come in glossy and non-glare. I bought the glossy. While some people on the forum (who also bought the glossy) like it - I immediately hated it as it greatly increased the reflection over the infotainment screen. If you don't like reflection, buy the non-glare.
Hmm… I think I would prefer non-glare here as well, but does it dull the screen a lot? I’d like whatever keeps the screen as close to its original brightness and color as possible.
The non-glare protector will be MUCH closer to the original from the pictures I have seen and if you still want a screen protector, it is the one I recommend. However, after I removed the glossy one, I decided to stay without a screen protector and just use what I was doing on my Sorento (before I bought the '24 Telly) - and that is I keep a small misting spray bottle full of screen cleaner in my center console along with a nice large microfiber cloth. Then about every two weeks I get rid of all the fingerprints as well a general cleaning of not only the screen but also all the piano black in the car. This works for me.
