Nightfall badge swap

[Fiatjeepdriver]

We haven't officially changed them over yet but we mocked up the klexus badges and the black badges look good imo. I thought I'd share since I haven't seen any nightfalls this way yet.

I did it (my body guy did).
I removed all Kia logos from the vehicle
I prefer the Black T

That looks great. Can you post pics of the wheel emblems? How much did your guy charge? Are those Kia roof rails or aftermarket?

He didn’t charge me as I send a lot of clients to him. I gave him $40
The Crossbars are Kia. Those and the tow cap are the only thing that say KIA on the car and I would like to change them out
I added a pic of the wheel I also did the steering wheel which looks like the wheel emblems

I’ve thought about changing badges on my Telluride well before I took delivery and have toyed with it during the short time that I’ve been able to have this bad boy in my garage. But for everyone who has changed badges, honest question...is it just the look you like better, embarrassed to drive a Kia because of past quality issues years ago, combination of both, or something I’m missing? Every time I think about swapping to the “Klexus” badges I can’t bring myself to do it. I’ll admit, I really like the look but I hate to even mess with it and if anyone wants to hold their nose up at me because it’s a Kia, kick rocks...this thing honestly is the best overall car we’ve had in a long time and that includes many makes and models, including German luxury brands.

I’m not knocking anyone who swaps the badges, some really do look great. But I almost like the idea now of people constantly staring at my SX as if to ask “what kind of car is that?” Damn skippy, it’s a frigin Kia, nibble on it.

We just like the look better. The Telluride replaced a Sorento SXL so we have no problems with the brand.

Got ya...I’m guessing that’s the case with most people who’ve made the change. Yours really do look great btw.

Anyone do the steering wheel they can share? Also, for those that ordered and installed from the store, do they seem like they will last from the adhesive?

I never liked the Klexus because I think Lexus IS more of a sexy car and I look at mine more like a mean machine so I went with the black T.
I will admit I did it because this car with all upgrades etc... cost A LOT and I can’t stand that someone would think it was a cheap car. They would think this because they’re ignorant and if I’m being totally honest my arrogant loser neighbor thinks he’s better than us and I wanted him to wonder what it was. Yes, I’m petty. I’ll work on it in therapy at some point

I purchased the badge set on this site and my body guy said they were good quality and thought they’d hold up well!

They definitely look great. Our last name starts with T so my wife wants the T badges.

I actually wish I could just swap the stock logos with the dark Kia logos - I love their look

Anyone consider a Brenthon badge? I'm digging this one [All] Brenthon E&O 3G Emblem / SEMI-MATT BLACK : Brenthon E&O

I hope you didn't throw those Kia Nightfall badges away, There are people on the fourm who would probably buy them from you. Especially the grill and tail gate badges.
