What did you do to your Telluride today?

[Jenny Wang]

Haaah! Yea, I know, nothin' yet. But let's use our imaginations for the time being. What WOULD you do to your Kia Telluride if you had it?

Give it a name. Every new car needs a name.

I swapped the badges.

If you change the badges, which design will you go with?

I'll go with original k.

I would leave the “Kia” and remove the “Telluride” on hood & see how it looks
On the front doors

That's an interesting idea with the doors. I might have to Photoshop that...

Yeah I like changing stuff but minor stuff..
I own a powder coat shop so I’ll change the wheel color for sure and anything else that’s metal I can pull off without effecting warranty

I think we can bump this now! What did you do to your KIA Telluride today?

What are the options? If available, I would prefer the badges to be TELLURIDE instead of KIA. I would probably go with a gun metal grey logo on black. Very subtle, but I think it would look good with the SX black wheels and dark grill. I would do the same on the front, back, wheel center caps and steering wheel.

If I was to get a Telluride, I would have the dealership remove the "TELLURIDE" letters off the hood. That way the paint protection film could go on correctly. I most likely would also remove the lettering from the back, to me that seems like a place for dust/dirt/road grime to build up.

Yeppers, that looks great.

I would leave it the way it s. I like the kia badges and love the telluride across the hood and liftgate.

I agree. There’s nothing wrong with the Kia logo. If we all complain about it, Kyundai will spend $5 mil redesigning it and we’ll be looking at a $51,000 Telluride SX Prestige for MY 2022.

I swapped the badges.

Can you advise on the easiest method to debadge the Telluride?

Fishing wire or dental floss, patience, and bug & tar remover...

 

[Sal Collaziano]

Yeppers, that looks great.

Let me ask, though... Would people want an oval TELLURIDE emblem in addition to the TELLURIDE work written on the vehicle? Or would people remove the TELLURIDE text? Perhaps people would be more interested in some sort of "T"...?

 

[Dandy]

I personally would remove all the Telluride text and replace the ovals, wheel caps with Telluride if available. If I had a Range Rover I would remove the lettering just as I did on my Flex. I think the lettering like that looks tacky, kind of like having a decal on you windshield that says “PONTIAC” or what ever you make and model was in the 80s and 90s. I also believe they will be a place to dirt and grime to build up. Those letters prevent paint protection from going on the hood and are difficult to detail around. Can you tell I am not a fan

Yes, okay, understood. I know of one manufacturer working on an oval TELLURIDE emblem already - so I think we'll have them available here soon...
