All of the items quoted on the first line are from autoria.co.kr with the equivalent shown on the second line.

Yes, I agree service is also very important, I sure it was one of the main reasons you posted the information in the first place. I think this fact escapes a lot of businesses nowadays.

heh, no kidding, especially internet companies. honestly it was a big reason i didn't go with koreanautoimports.com, when i called them they felt very "iffy" like they weren't sure about their products and availability. though to be fair i called during the sema week and they only had a skeleton crew manning the office, so i'm not sure.

edit: also, my "go no further" bit was more of a joke than anything. you know like a carny barker

Blkoup, I removed all emblems and replaced the kia badges. it was not hard, just take your time.

Looks like the KIA Badge is still there, why did you remove the badges?

Its an old picture. I like the clean back end look, plus the dealership put there sticker on, so I just decided to take the forte and ex off.

I pulled the forte off but have left koup for now, haven't decide on that yet. i would kicked my salesman's ass if they defaced my car with a logo. also, they wanted to drill my front end to put a license plate frame on there, thankfully they didn't, they would've been replacing that piece of the bumper.

I never even noticed before that the position of the license plate is completely different from the koup.

BUMP!
So when I buy a new emblem and I'm ready to stick it on my rear, front, and sterring wheel do i add extra adhesive to insure it stays on for good? If so, what adhesive did you use?

Is removing the Kia emblem on the 2010 Kia Forte Koup steering wheel the same like removing the rear and front?

Thanks

The DIY section has some great guides for both the front, back, and steering wheel. I just did mine this past weekend it was extremely easy (following the guides of course)

All you need is a hairdryer, some floss or an old AAA card, and a pointed thin object (ex. a dart or pocket knife)

Use the hairdryer on the back and it just comes right off with the AAA card. For the front I had to remove the top screws of the grill and carefully unhook the badge (it has no adhesive on it). For the steering wheel I disabled the horn and then used the dart to slowly and carefully take it off.

The 3M adhesive on the back of the K logo badges seem to stick just fine. Any remaining glue left from the back badge I removed with some goo gone.

Is it me or are the emblems crooked? only took me a year and half to notice.. haha.. there was a oval dealer sticker below the forte emblem that I removed today, maybe that's why?

i just removed the "forte" emblem from the trunk of the car. I used a hair dryer and a credit card (didn't have floss lol) to remove the emblem. I did in fact use goo gone to remove the rest of the stuff left behind and i had NO problems whatsoever
