Aftermarket badge for Telluride?

[jerflores]

agree, no go on the red. I think you want it to either match or be subdued, either black or the black and silver.

Hey there! Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. Yes, there will definitely be aftermarket badging options. However, we're not yet sure on the size of these emblems. KIA made unique sizes for the Stinger - and there will likely be unique sizes for the Telluride. So stay tuned! We'll have that information for you right here as soon as possible...

edit: There are now options in our forum store: Shop - Kia Telluride Store

I purchased the complete set but want a cover for the back badge. Can you sale a single cover for the rear badge on the telluride?

Hey all, what’s your thought or opinion on this? Just did a photoshop before I decide on which k emblem to order. Either this red/black, or regular K emblem chrome with k black ground. I plan to blackout the letters front and back as well. Will add a crossbar roof, running board as well as 20 percent tints.

I’m with others about the red. I installed the vintage k badges and absolutely love the look!

Red/black might look good on this Telluride, but for the most part I agree with the others.

Do you plan on Blacking out the words TELLURIDE on front and rear? I would LOVE to see that on your re-badged white Telluride!

Just some shots of my black kevlar emblems on the front grill on my sangria red EX. I got the dealer to black out the lettering and I think it looks pretty rad with the emblem. I will do the back emblem this weekend as it seems it is a little more complicated to take off according to the various video's I have seen on the sight. Next week the black wheels come so I will post more when it is all done.

Updated now with the black badges as well, waiting for the black wheels to arrive.

Is there anywhere I can find blacked out emblems for the steering wheel and the rim centers? I saw the front/back emblems are, but can’t locate others. Seeing if anyone had been able to find some. Also, overlays or emblem replacements...? I read through thread but not sure if exact pros and cons.

Unfortunately, black emblems for the wheel caps and steering wheel do not exist. If you've seen them anywhere, they're simply painted. I'd love to get my hands on something like this - because it's a fairly popular request. As for replacement emblem vs overlay - an overlay is always going to be an obvious overlay if you examine up close. They're very thin - so under most circumstances you can't tell. However, if you get right up to it - you can tell. They're a two-minute install, however - and you never need to be concerned with re-installing the KIA badges if/when you want to sell your Telluride...

That's true

Hi all, if your considering doing a deck lid re-badge, be very very careful using any heat to help remove your rear OEM KIA badge!

The fresh factory paint softens right up (still curing), so easily damaged. After that, not worth it!

Don’t ask how I know

Are you all doing this yourselves? I'm not handy at all. Has anyone asked their dealer to do the rebadging? Thx
