New "Koup" Wheel Center Caps

Looks sweet...should be getting mine in the mail soon too!

Got mine in the mail the other day. Going to NYC for today for a long weekend and won't be able to install them until next week.

Just pop off each tire during the long weekend and stick them on unless you don't have a torque wrench.

I popped mine out while the wheels were on the car with no problem at all, just to see how they came off. Put them back on and waiting on the Koup Kaps.

Used to own a Tiburon GT that i fully T badged before trading it in for the Koup SX so guessing the wheel cap design is the same. Anyway you can pry them out with a flat head screwdriver or something else small and flat but you risk damaging the paint along the cap area.

If they are in fact the same design (round, few small plastic clips with a metal ring holding it in) and don't want to keep the kia caps you can break them. Hammer and a small chisel or pic. Just kinda gently hammer a whole in the center with the chisel and then kinda work around the whole itself to make it bigger. Eventually the whole cap will just kind of fall apart. From there you can pull it out and just snap the new ones in.

Yea i already ordered these the same time i ordered my k badges so just waiting for them to arrive but they come all the way from korea so takin a while... but i cant wait.. takin out the silver inserts when i get them aswell... just not sure if im gonna paint the inserts and put them back in... ill either paint them black and have all black or copperhead to match the body not sure yet tho

For anyone who's looking for wheel center pieces to match the "K" emblems.

I found these wheel center "caps" on eBay as well. They don't have clips like the Kia and Koup ones. These just stick on to the existing center caps with some 3M adhesive.
