Aftermarket badge for Telluride?

[kiakane]

edit: Aftermarket badges and emblems are available for the Kia Telluride here: Shop - Kia Telluride Store

I'd like to replace the standard Kia badging with aftermarket badges. I love the Telluride, but not the Kia logo.
Does anyone know if there is an aftermarket badge available? Or perhaps the size of the Telluride badge is the same as another Kia Vehicle and I could purchase the kit for another vehicle and use that?

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

Give it a couple weeks and you'll likely see some alternate badges on Ebay and maybe some other 3rd party Kia suppliers. The Stinger has a lot of different options, some of those might work. The front looks like it would be an easy replacement. The rear looks like it would require a heat gun and some work to remove.

We need to make sure Brenthon has the right sizes... Any idea what the sizes on these are, @westcoastTelly?

I'll have VINTAGE K METAL SKINS available tomorrow. These are high quality pieces that fit OVER the KIA emblems. They sit in-between the chrome edges of the stock front and rear emblems. They take 2 minutes to install and actually protect the stock KIA emblems. They're going to be a great choice...

If they work on the new Sorento, they should be a pretty decent fit for the Telluride. I'll get a few sets in so we can experiment...

The metal skins? Yes, you just pull them off. They won't damage the KIA emblem underneath.

Sal , will you have the E badge available to fit the Telly's ??

The round version? You'd want that? I was thinking about having some sort of oval T made...

didnt you do an oval E ??

Not me. And that was a very cheapie piece. A metal skin overlay can be made but we'll have to see how many people are interested in an oval E...

An oval with a T would be awesome IMO. I want to replace mine on the outside but would also like to replace the smaller one on the steering wheel as well.

This is in the works... But it's going to be a long process...

I made the video, so I am willing to answer any question about the install anyone might have. It's pretty straight forward, and the breaking of the front emblem isn't hard at all. I just used some dash pulling tools and took my time.

The front badge you pry of slowly using some dash pulling tools. There is no tape holding the front. The rear I heat the badge and used the dash pulling tools to pry off the badge. It's super easy but just use slow and steady.

 

[timlaw71]

The badge sizes for the Telluride are:
Rear - 5.69" x 2.87"
Front - 6.69" x 3.31"

I’d be super interested in any emblems that just adhere to the existing ones. I would 100% mess it up if I tried to remove them, regardless of how easy it is.
