• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

I custom designed it from the font that Kia Telluride uses and my local vehicle graphics company made the vinyl decal for me..

I have had transmission replaced- the front windshield replaced 3 times. Front seat leather was cracking- replaced- the AC unit replaced- didn’t cost me a dime. Kia paid. I’m so luck.
Dang, sounds like you got a lemon. Sorry to hear. 11k on mine and so far not a single issue. (Knock on wood). I can understand your frustration though.
 
Happy Easter modding Sunday!
Replaced the badges and in the process of painting the exhaust tips.

The badges look great! I'm debating whether to do that myself but haven't convinced myself. The Nightfall OEM badges look pretty good in my opinion, but the badges you have don't scream "I'm a KIA" LOL.
 
Same cans I used on the badges to give it a glossy finish. 2 coats each taking 30 minutes breaks to let it dry.
I probably didn't need the gloss clear but I had it laying around when I painted the calipers on my other car.
Still debating whether or not to do the calipers on the Telly.

Gloss Black

Gloss Clear
 
2021 EXP-NF w/Tow. Wolf Grey
Things I've done:
-tinted front 3 to match back 5
-added crossbars to roof rails
-added WeatherTech mud guards
-painted exhaust tips gloss black (why they
released a Nightfall edition with chrome tips
I will never understand)
-front license plate holder
-screen protector for in dash screen

Ordered/Awaiting:
-cargo liner (rubber for 3rd row backs/ trunk)
-cargo liner (water proof cloth for entire back to
cover 2nd row seat backs)
-new badges
-proximity lock/unlock module
-mesh grill screens for behind grill

Planning/wish list:
-new AT tires
-wheel spacers vs new offset wheels
-carbon wrap window pillars and better window
Trim blackout
-fog-lights / DRLs
...plus some more I'm sure...
What crossbars did you go with?
What mesh grill screens did you go with?

Would you be willing to send me the design? I am looking to have the name applied to a hood protector in color matching the Wilf Grey.

I just sent them this image and they were able to match the font and the size I wanted.

That’s going to run you about $720 in parts and labor. Good luck getting a grill right now. They’ve been on back order. Took almost 4 months for me to get a new one.

Wow - hope I don't get into a accident that requires a new grill any time soon! By the way, just an FYI - if you click the "Reply" link at the bottom-right of someone's post, it will quote them in your reply - that just makes it easier for the community to know who/ what you are replying to.

Cheers
