Back when the Kia boys thing was really popping off I almost rebadged my Hyundai but then I looked at all the places that had the H and realized it was a lot more effort than I was willing to put into it

This reminds me of a former Oldsmobile dealership in central Ohio. They're a Buick and GMC dealership now. Long after Oldsmobile went under, though, they were stuck with the Oldsmobile logo molded into the building at the top of every single pillar. Probably a good twenty or thirty Oldsmobile logos, built into the structure, ringing the whole perimeter of the building. I just looked it up... Mark Wahlberg bought the place, and they finally covered up all the Oldsmobile logos with stonework. I'm actually a little disappointed. It was always good for a chuckle!

Getting stonework to adhere to a three-dimensional Oldsmobile logo must have been interesting, though. I'm curious if they just put some sort of metal lattice or board in front of it, or if they actually filled in the entire logo with mortar.
