New style of front hood wing. Any experience?

[TerryJ]

I hadn't yet purchased the front wing for my 2013 genesis sedan that i bought back in october. I noticed when looking on eBay that there is a "New style" front hood wing listed on there. It's got a slightly different look than the previous wings. It's also much larger at 230mm which is equal to about 9 inches. Does anyone have experience with this new hood wing yet? If so any thoughts? http://www.ebay.com/itm/111324524370?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

I wonder if it is for the 2015? I can't remember if the hood wing was that big on the car at the autoshow.

I have a dealer installed wing on the hood of my Genesis. I'm thinking of removing it for a cleaner look.

Even if you saw the 2015 at the auto show, it could be a smaller. The only way to see the actual size of the 2014 hood emblem is on a Korean version of the 2014.

I took this picture ~2 months ago at Chicago Auto show. Does it look big?

The 2015 hood emblem definitely looks bigger than the 2012-2013 shown here (and probably same as 2009-2011):

The 2014 hood emblem from the eBay link in the original post in this thread is probably the same size as the 2015 judging by the pic in the eBay listing, but there is no guarantee they are identical since the 2009-2014 hood is not exactly flat and the hood emblem is therefore curved. The 2015 hood emblem may be the same size but might have a different curve to it (or maybe it is the same as 2015).

Yep, it looks a little bigger than the one on the hood of my 2013 R-Spec.

I just looked at the pic I took at the Toronto Auto Show. The front wing is almost the size of the front license plate.
