I got these latch covers on Amazon and man they look good. It might be just a minor change but I enjoy the little details. Easy install and they come in various other colors. I was tempted to get the red ones to match the interior but I figured since they're against the exterior paint they'd look better black to match the other black accents of the car. Can confirm good decision.
Unfortunately it looks like the Amazon listing only has one of each color left but you can also get them on eBay.

Why does it have the Audi slogan on it? I get that the head designers came over from Audi but this seems a bit much.

I dunno man, it's not like it's an official kia accessory 🤷 in any case I like it better than just the metal latches

Yep no issues with door closing or the paint getting rubbed. There's still a bit of space between the door and the latch cover.

What color did you go with? I can't decide if the red would look tacky or not..

I ended up going with the silver pedals as in my opinion that would be a nice offset to the black interior of my car and be neutral against the sapphire blue exterior of my car.

It appears your car is white base on your profile pic. I think the red would look nice if that's the case regardless not knowing if your interior is white, black or even red for that matter. However take into consideration that if you go red, you are sort of "stuck" with that color going forward for any additional accessories as you probably don't want any other upgrades/accessories being other colors!

I think I'll go with the silver as well. I have the wolf grey with red interior but i think bright red pedals would be too much red ha ha
