I was impressed

[Ferrariman]

I am first time Hyundai buyer (t coupe) with Infinity as my last two cars. I went to the dealership to inquire about wing badges and noticed that almost every employee (in parts and the shop) were driving Hyundai's. I was pretty impressed with that. Just show one how much better Hyundai has done in the last feqw years to clean up their act.

good to hear but what about the wing badges? do they actually have them?

The dealership I went to in Plano, TX had a "package" they offered for the sedan. $1000.00 for wheel centers, front and rear badges and airbag swap. Little much I think.

I asked about individual sales of the badges and I was told they do not do that.

The Coupe is not wing badged in Korea, so while it might be possible to use the Sedan badges, most of the aftermarket wing badges I've seen are incorporated in the grille on the front and both front and back are the wings inset in a circle to match the OEM sytling.

Must agree that this seems quite pricey. Are they swapping out the entire airbag assembly? Or just high margin? Or both?

It's $400-500 retail for the items listed, so 100%+ markup.

Yeah like all dealer stuff it's out of sight in price.

I also learned at the dealer that the coupe was not "winged" in Korea but I love the look and intend on applying one to the hood with an after market grill. I first need to know if anyone on here has done the hood trick. I have seen the pics of a few done but they were not posted by owner. Anyone?
