Where to go for Emblem replacement

[Knightowl]

I purchased new emblems for the back and front and wondering where I can take them to get installed. I've seen the How To's but I don't trust myself. I live in Richmond, VA... Just a body shop?

Yes, an auto body shop

My detailer did mine when he was applying PPF and ceramic

Is that the clip where the guy taped all around the emblem then used a screw driver to pry it off and then went looking for touch up paint? That was not encouraging Gentle use of a heat gun and then dental floss or other thin strong string to separate the adhesive. Follow up with some adhesive remover from 3M or paint thinner to remove residual adhesive. I've debadged my BMW along with removing a deck lid spoiler with this technique.

My dealership wanted $250 to put them on, my local body shop quoted me $50 to $100 without seeing the telly or badges.

Call me crazy, but I don't get the whole rebadging thing anyway. Especially if your spending $100's . What's the end goal? Kia shame? Confusion that its not a Lexus?

different strokes, I don't like the current KIA logo, so I'm going with the big "T" for ours

I personally love pulling up on people with the KIA logo. It just screams "I am a smart shopper and made a good well informed decision"
