I would like to replace the grille on the 2012 when I get it (WA Dealers may not get them till next year). My opinion is that the grille on the Equus and Genesis give them away easily as "lesser" to MB and BMW to a discerning eye. I love the Trex DUB Design mesh grille

Has anyone changed the grille on their horse or thought about it? I see the grille listed on Amazon but I am not sure about it

Looking to update and upgrade your Genesis luxury sport automobile? Look no further than right here in our own forum store - where orders are shipped immediately!
Be careful with what grill you go with as some lower grills won't fit if the car has smart cruise control, which a 4.6 would. I guess you need to ask that specific question of the vendor before you buy. Zoom in on the below web pic and you can read it on the very bottom. I'm going to be buying the 2012 4.6 or 5.0 non R-spec sometime in the next 6 months or so and I agree with you a good looking grill makes a big difference. Have you considered replacing steering wheel "H" with the winged version? (also left a link for that below)

I am looking in particular for the 2012 Equus grille replacement. Like this one on [ame="http://www.amazon.com/HYUNDAI-EQUUS-2010-2011-GRILLE-INSERT/dp/B0058JNA1E/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322023474&sr=8-1-fkmr0"]Amazon.com[/ame]

The Equus only has one H symbol on the trunk and that will be def replaced. But a new grille will be awesome

i'll be getting either a 5.0 non r-spec or the Equus signature in the spring. the genesis has the wings to replace the "H" on the trunk. What do you replace Equus "H" with?
 
I am partial to the Grille on the S. Korean Equus. I liike the vertical waterfall grill as opposed to the horizontal version here in the US. Very elegant.
