I have some emblems coming Saturday. KDM Warehouse. Actual emblem, not overlays, which I had. I’m very much looking toward replacing the oem emblem (w vintage K overlays) with vintage K legit emblems. I have been watching this over and over learning how to properly swap emblems. I have a heat gun. Micro fiber towels. Turtle wax adhesive remover. I should have this in the bag

Dental floss doesn't work well. I just used my old scene points card (which worked great), some rubbing alcohol to substitute the goo gone and a blow dryer. No pry tools or goo gone needed. Changed the emblems and and removed the "forte" branding in under 15 mins.

too bad some scratching was done in this process. KIA's are the most difficult badges to remove based on any vehicles I work with. Not really something I recommend for a first-timer/DIYer. The scratches are subtle (in the video), but would not be so subtle in person. The double sided tape KIA uses is the strongest of any other vehicles. It is seriously industrial strength! Likely most car owners who attempt this themselves would be satisfied with the results, but doing it professionally requires perfection. Thanks for the video nonetheless and I give it a thumbs up. One thing to watch something in a vid; very differnt when it comes to actually doing it.
