Emblem dimensions?
Hello everyone,

I'm a proud new owner of a 2012 Forte 5. My friend knows that I like transformers and said that there's this online shop that sells a custom transformer emblem to replace car front/rear emblems. The only catch is the dimension of the emblem.

I have tried measuring but with the 3D curvature it is hard to accurate measure it let alone conveying the correct dimensions so the emblem will fit in the 2 indented emblem locations. I was wondering if anyone knows the length and width of the front and rear logos on the 2012 kia forte5 (not sure if that size is uniform amongst all kia cars).


Thanks!

The emblem size is 128mm wide X 65mm high front and back ,just like the Koup. Hope this helps...

LOL don't worry about it!!

Thank-you though! I think I'll get the steering wheel one first and see if I can fit it in myself before committing to the exterior two! Big Grin

RE: Emblem dimensions?
One question... Does anyone have any idea on how to remove the original kia emblem on the steering wheel right where the horn/airbag is?

Also, is it very difficult to remove the front and rear emblem on the exterior of the car as well?? The emblems are mounted on a trench so I have a very tough time finding a way to remove them for my custom ones.
