OEM KDM wing trunk+hood+steering emblem?

[RainGate]

I am planning to install OEM KDM wing trunk+hood+steering emblem and was wondering whether the following product in ebay work?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2012-HYUNDA...Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item19d273fd32

If not, what and where did you purchase it from? Looks like it's a chrome emblem and has 3M adhesive at the back... Does it hold for long and withstand Texas weather (100+)?

Just peel the sticker and stick it... That simple?

Thank you in advance for any and all replies.

The steering wheel emblem is not OEM, but is an after-market emblem that just sticks on top of the existing one. They all will hold fine with the included 3M tape.

On the hood emblem, you will have to remove the posts, since the hood does not have any holes to accept them.

There are many threads on this forum with instructions on how to replace the emblems, some with videos.

Thank you and will look it up. Btw, in the front hood, there are no posts to remove (it's a 2012 3.8L base model) and I am not sure where the holes are?

The posts are on the hood emblem, and since there are no holes on the USA Genesis hood (as there are on the KDM hood), you must remove the posts from the emblem. Dremel tool works fine, but there are other ways.

Got it... Thank you.

Better yet, leave the hood emblem off. Looks much better that way (IMO)

Agreed.

To me, it looks bland and seems something is missing... I definitely like the emblem in the front and only a matter of time before I add it. I am not really sure how it will look in white and since it's only $13, not a bank breaker

Thanks for you concern, though.

Just remember that the larger one goes on the hood (slightly curved) and smaller one on the trunk. Hood emblem should be mounted 1" above the chrome trim. Some people have used masking tape for alignment of the hood emblem. Trunk emblem fits into existing holes for perfect alignment.

I did the trunk and the wheels including the after market sticky over the steering wheel. Did not do the hood because for me was a little too much. I get enough questions already on what kind of car it is.

Now if I could get the Nav and Status screen to not flash the flying H at me at start up I will have successfully erased Hyundai from the branding on my car.

Rethink the hood. The thing is too big.

What about the etching on the window glass?
