Order my rebadge will be getting them next week. Looks good!

Are these rebadges "official"? i.e. Could I bring them to the dealer and make them install them as part of a Telluride purchase? I'm not very handy, and would hate to screw the rebadging up!!

Yes you can bring them to your dealer and they'll swap it out.

I was hoping that someone might customize a badge using 3 letters ..... S, K and an I ...

waiting 5 more weeks for mine to arrive.

Wow - where did you order them?

You would think the Telluride Chamber of Commerce would make these ... SKI Telluride ... it seems like a natural fit...

Dealer put on the front and rear emblems but said he couldn't replace the steering wheel emblem due to the airbag...how did everyone do theirs???

 

[Retroguy]

Mine was just an overlay but to be honest I didn't like how it looked and ended up taking it off. It just didn't seem legit. I'm happy with the Kia logo on the steering wheel and the front and rear re-badging.

You should keep it simple and do overlay, it's a pain in the butt to pull off.

Thanks....I have seen instructions for replacing front and rear, and apparently the wheels are overlays but haven't seen anything on how to do the steering wheel.

Like others have said it's not worth pulling off the steering wheel emblem. Basically you need to pry it off. I posted a photo here of what it looks like when it came off https://www.kiatelluride.org/thread...-what-is-your-preference.111/page-4#post-2401

Here’s mine. Vintage K in 3D.

Does anyone know the difference between the two links below? Looks like the first link has a thicker K design, but other than that - i'm really not sure.

Great photos by the way!

Do these 3D emblems physically protrude out? They seem to be more than the YouTube video in the first post (those ones seem to be flush with the paint/car).

Order the emblems from https://www.k5optimastore.com/

Thanks! And yup, those are the ones I got exactly and yes, they protrude a little which gives the 3D look. I like them!

Do not pry your rear badge off. Everyone I have seen has scuffed their paint trying to pry it off.

Drill small hole into the center of the badge (Large enough for a 90 degree awl, Large) There is relief under the badge, you will not hit the paint.
Heat using heat gun or hair dryer (longer)
Take 90 Degree awl and pry logo off

Just another method. Worked great for me.
