KevinIsFamous thank you

[@vh9network]

I'm glad you made this video. I think KIA needs to see this and realize they should promote the Stinger brand itself on the back more so than their name.

[@brandon8569]

The proper way to remove an emblem without hurting your paint is by using fishing line. Making a sawing motion to cut the glue.

[@itsamerandomguy9581]

That IS a good idea. Although when I was young, my friends and I used dental floss. It worked like a charm as well! ;)

[@Quinns_Cars]

@@itsamerandomguy9581 yes! Breaks alot tho...

[@PaganWizard]

@@Quinns_Cars You're either using a weak fishing line (I would recommend nothing less than 20 pound test), or you're going ape shit crazy using way too much force. Use just a little downward pressure along with a sawing motion and let the fishing line do the work for you.

[@dakotaward465]

@@PaganWizard I think he was referring to dental floss.

[@birdseyeview1543]

tiny bit of WD helps make the fishing line smooth...

Thank you posting this video. I followed your directions today and the installation of my stinger script badge went perfectly. You guys rock. Keep up the good work.

[@rnrgregory9339]

Just completed this change - nerve racking, tricky but looks awesome. Thanks for your directions & commentary. I could not have completed it without you. Cheers.

[@jimmydelvalle1233]

Thank you for the video. Its really great. I prefer my Stinger over my German brands...Kìa MUST promote with movie stars or Nadal tenis Champ who owns one.

[@SilentKnight43]

Thanks muchly for the video. Our local Kia dealer failed miserably to do the re-badging earlier today on my 2019 Stinger - I was NOT impressed. It was supposed to be done a year ago as part of the sales agreement when we bought it - but it's been one farce after another - and today may have been the last straw. Thinkin' of tackling it myself now (they say if you want it done right...DIY, right!). Your video is a great help...inspires some confidence.

[@MrWhiterunGuard]

Dear Kia please take note for the 2019.

[@elusivellama]

Still the same for 2019.

[@itsamerandomguy9581]

Its weird cuz in their domestic market(Korea), this is how the car comes. Why go through the trouble in stamping out smaller prints and changing the badging process? :/

[@elusivellama]

If this is how it comes, does it also have the two holes for the old badge? I'm guessing not. The Stinger looks 100x better with the script badge at the rear, it would have been more eye catching and make people do even more of a double take when they finally realize that the exotic car they're staring at is actually a Kia.

[@user-eo9ob7qs8k]

@@elusivellama yep but all those bean counters seating down behind the desk don't know while designers designed and found better way to appeal and everybody found out that it is actually better.

[@bigh1708]

got the 2019, they didn't do it... god dammit why didnt they do it.

[@CptNut]

I'm usually not a fan of mods like this, but after seeing it with the "stinger" badge dead center in place of the Kia badge, I'm a believer! This is how Kia should do it from the factory. Very nice and thanks for sharing!

[@captaingyro3912]

On mine I used a 99¢ wooden yard stick to form a base for the stencil to rest on. The stencil is so flimsy that it wants to twist and warp slightly when you try to stick it to the car. The yardstick has three advantages: first, being soft wood it won't scratch the finish; second, it will bend easily to conform the car's curves as you tape it in place; third, it forms a perfectly flat and straight edge to align the bottom of the stencil. You did a great job...your Stinger looks fantastic!

[@rlawson261]

Excellent video. Followed exactly after follow-up measuring. The only variation in mu approach is that i used same color caulk that virtually hid the holes in case it was off. Happy to report it was perfect.

[@markmorrison3229]

Ordered my Stinger badge from your referred web site. Picked up Blue Stinger and almost didn’t come home. Too much for a 68 year old kid.

[@afoster344]

I bought the same red color 3 weeks ago , I just ordered the E badge and the stinger logo , beautiful and powerful car

[@derek0609]

Just ordered my Stinger script badge! 👍🏻 Thanks for the video!

[@morg4620]

They should have made the stinger badge with points at back of letters to fit into holes instead. Would have be a much easier installation and holes would not need to be filled.

[@RDFStudios]

morg4620 I agree completely. The Korean version has no holes and I'm guessing a robotic arm at the factory places it on the car. Or they have a special template that lines it up better. So we get stuck trying to figure out crazy ways of putting it on straight 🤣

[@mclaine33]

That’s what I initially though this was going to be. It sucks you have to fill it but at least it still looks good when finished.

[@YourtrustedREAgent]

Thank you for the video i got my 2019 Stinger GT yesterday. I ordered my accessories on Tuesday got them today. I Installed everything and it looks Great!

[@klasseact6663]

My buddy just bought a Stinger GT AWD in that awesome yellow. He just doubled the power of his previous car too!

[@marshalldean295]

Great video. I feel your pain about the dealer who put holes in your bumper. They got mine, too. Planning to rebadge mine.

[@hungover1274]

I was wondering since I saw a concept model of this car about the Stinger logo instead of the KIA. Thank GOD its a thing now and I can easily order a new badge. I'm getting a KIA SGT prob after the 2019s come out so I can get this one for less than 50k. I still love my Maxima but I cant wait to get a Stinger. My wife is so sick of hearing about it. Great video, thank you! I'll be referring to it.

Changing out my 2019 Stinger GT emblems...and thanks to you I bought all the necessary tools that you've said on the video lol. Never done it before. *crossing fingers*

[@stepbackjack4194]

Nice work on the rear badging. The front KIA badge would look good centered on the grille. But if it also has mounting holes, then never mind.

[@rodgmz9826]

Awesome video dude ...I’m changing my KIA badge for a STINGER now ...thanks again

[@tbskirk]

A similar 2018 red Kia stinger GT has been featured on the exhaust addicts channel! Made me want to come back here and check out some old videos!

[@ryanmartin34]

I believe the reason "ger" is a second piece from "Stin" is because you set "Stin" first completely covering the first hole and you have play to set "ger" over the second hole as it is movable that 3/16"

[@slksax1]

Good to know. I just bought the black AWD and ordered my new badge's to. but I will be putting the E on the front. Thanks for the info it helps.

[@StingerGTandMe]

fred kleim Congrats you will love it. Yeah my E badge showed up and still debating to do it or not. I'm not sold yet on it. If I dont end up using the badge I will use it for a giveaway. We did the full self oil change video today and will be posting that hopefully by Monday.

[@erico4868]

Replaced my front badge using your video, Nice work. Keep going. More videos please.

I bet this last longer than a Maserati too! The labor and parts for Maseratis are notoriously troublesome! Kia’s on the other hand always last long for the most part! I’m looking forward to buying or leasing a Kia Stinger GT 2 very soon! Good Job!

[@erock6040]

Great Job !! I have watched all your posting. i am getting my emblems removed and putting E badges now. I know you don't need to replace your side mirror to black chrome, but can you or someone post a video how to replace side mirror cover to chrome cover plz? No one has posted on this yet. Thanks a million !! You Rock !!

[@StingerGTandMe]

Eric Lee yeah I know some guys with the black want to go to chrome or carbon fiber. I'm sure a video from someone will come soon. If there anything like my old car there should be screws behind the mirror 2 maybe 3 and you move the mirror around to get to them all and it should come right off.

[@comradjones]

You can always debadge the front and buy Kias's Korean "K" logo

[@RDFStudios]

Nick van Strijp I think if I do rebadge the front it will be the K logo. I do like that quite a bit.

[@Lambdasonddd]

Actually, there is no Kia with K logo in Korea. There was a time (mid 00s) when a circle K logo came with, but the oval K logo is just 3rd party logo made by small company. However the stinger is a different story. "E"logo which is model specific logo is used on stinger fresh from factory.

[@bign1667]

If the front badge said GT that would be alright but I believe no badge at all is best. I get this terrible feeling Kia will destroy the facelift model with adding it's logo on the grill instead

[@wdiddy1]

Put masking tape around old badge before removing to protect against scratches and cover pry tool with tape. Good job lining it up.

[@gooddeney]

The manufacturer of the badge should add locator bosses to match the hole so it would be lot easier to line it up.. Looks really nice tho

[@StingerGTandMe]

gooddeney H The only manufacturer right now is Kia/hyundai. It's meant to be put on at the factory by either a robot or with special alignment tools. And there cars don't have holes so tabs aren't needed. I do wish someone would recreate one for the other countries that do contain the holes. Only problem is that could be a while down the road. So for now this is what we get :(

[@StingerGTandMe]

Guys thanks for the views and subs. I will be doing an E badge video. A full oil change video for those who want to know how to. And a K&N air intake video. And a borla exhaust install video when it goes up for sale. Many videos to come. Thank you.

[@vh9network]

one way to prevent dealers from plating your car. Order the car online, which entails that you go to the dealer with the build you created online and they will order your car from factory. You have to wait a couple months for delivery, maybe put down a deposit. But when the car arrives it won't have the dealer plate or in some cases dealer rear badge branding on it.
