WARNING: OEM chrome handles and aftermarket badges
Well, as many of you know, I purchased a set of the red "K" badges as soon as I got my Forte. After a winter of driving the car, the chrome on the badges is fading/peeling/spotting green. I just wanted to warn others.
I don't feel like paying $30/year for badges. I'm gonna re-apply the OEM badges. I guess I need to buy the 3M adhesive now.
But, more importantly:
My OEM chrome door handles are displaying the same problem. I am going to bring the wrath of God onto Kia. FIVE months I've owned the car. Maybe I'll demand the LX body-coloured handles.
Anyone else experience this
