Rebadge, Debadge or Leave it Stock , what is your preference?

Did you ever get it corrected? There are ones on Amazon that fits.

I just finished rebadging (not overlays) the Telluride today. Thanks to everyone in this thread for posting badge sources, tips, and tutorials!

It took about 45 minutes to rebadge the front, rear and wheels. I completed the job with plastic interior trim tools, a flathead screwdriver (don't worry, I didn't scratch the paint) and Goo Gone - no heat required!

Man, the Korean Kia logo looks so fresh!

Did you have to remove the wheels for the center caps?

Nope! The center caps in the center of the wheel can simply be popped out with a flathead screwdriver.

Thanks BurtDaBurt, I'm glad I asked, otherwise I would have removed at least one wheel lol

Also, to clarify: The Korean emblems for the wheel caps from the k5 Optima Store (the site where I purchased my emblems) are the only emblems for the car which actually are overlays. Therefore, you technically could just stick them on the center caps without removing the actual stock emblem. However, I felt it was easier to align the overlays with the center cap after removing the center caps and placing them on a table.

Thanks for the clarification, I purchased mine from the same place

I have a question for those who have removed the front emblem. The plate on which the emblem is stuck to, if you remove the plate holder (for lack of a better word) does the grill continue seamless? Or is there a void , gap???

A void.

I'd like to just do metal skins but they are pretty expensive for the ones I've seen. May end up rebadging in the end. May be more options in time as more sellers get wise to the T-Ride popularity.

I placed an order at K5 based on recommendations from here. The 3pc set is due to be delivered today...Our Telluride on the other hand isn't due to be delivered for a few weeks (fingers crossed)!!

kdmwagon · May 20, 2019

I'm very interested on how this will look
