    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum.

I just took delivery of a 2023 Genesis G70 2.0T RWD Sports prestige. I love the car but as I get older I am trying to resist the usual temptation to modify, modify modify. I am, however, very interested in adding the genesis wing emblem on the rear of the car. The "catch" is that I actually don't want to remove the GENESIS chromed letters from the back of the vehicle. So I'm trying to decide whether to put a wing emblem above or below the GENESIS name on the back of the trunk lid. Has anyone tried this and if so any pictures available? The other decision for me other than above or below is finding the appropriate sized Genesis Winged emblem to apply. Conisdering the somewhat limited space I feel I should go with a moderate to smaller sized wing emblem as opposed to the larger emblems. Any comments are welcome and when I do get around to it I will post pics.

Simple imo! Outline the front Genesis wing on paper then cut it out and use a tiny piece of painters tape to attach it to the rear of the car. Take a peek and see if you like it. Just my opinion and I too would prefer the wing to the lettering but their design Dept obviously does not agree with us. 😂
 
I removed all letters and badges immediately, and just added the 2021 rear emblem. However, it's too small, but left it alone. In retrospect, I'd have bought another FRONT emblem if I could do it again. Anyway, in your case, anything smaller than the 2021 rear emblem would look super weird. So I'd use that emblem, and install it the way I did, which was with the top of the wings at the edge of the crease where the camera and button are. I don't know if it'd clear the letters that way, but even if it did, it'd look super weird (and busy) IMO. If you want to make it work, you'd have to relocate the letters lower. And any emblem low in the trunk would look awful IMO, so the emblem has to be at the top. I'd have liked it where the camera and button are, but it's not possible, for obvious reasons. Between the letters and emblem, the emblem wins hands down, but the larger one would have been perfect IMO. Good luck in your project.

Finally, I'd highly recommend the seat wing emblems; they look incredibly elegant, don't interfere at all, and fill the ugly and empty area below the headrests (just like on Bentleys). Click on the attached picture below to see it upright. Hope this helps.
