This has been explored thoroughly in other threads. Basically you have 2 options: get a stick-on that goes over the lazy H, or get an airbag that has the wing emblem. It is not possible to remove the H emblem from the airbag - some here have tried that and failed. If expense is an issue, get the stick-on for a few bucks; if you don't like the looks, replace the airbag - eBay has one for $279; Korean Auto Imports has one for $295.

I had a stick on in my 2011 for about 1 week. To me it looked totally cheesy and cheap. I took it off. Ordered a KDM bag and changed it to the OEM wings. When I purchased my 2014 I ordered the KDM bag straight away.

I suggest either using the KDM unit so you have the proper wings or just love the H and keep it. Because the stick on piece is not very attractive IMO.

Get the KDM airbag from those guys, still $245 http://sfrusa.3dcartstores.com/Hyundai-Genesis-KDM-Steering-Airbag-Unit_p_341.html (perfect color match)

and use my DIY how to replace it (easy one) http://genesisowners.com/hyundai-genesis-forum/showpost.php?p=151122&postcount=134

That is where I purchased both of mine. The total time to change the airbag is less than 30 minutes. I have done it twice (2011 and 2014) and it is very quick and easy. Disconnect the battery, then two bolts and three small plugs. Reverse. Super easy.

IMO - You should either to the KDM bag or just leave the H. Because the H looks much nicer than the little sticker thing that goes over it.

Right after purchasing my '12 I bought a stick on wing from amazon for ~$8. Seemed to be made well and stuck on easy. 14 months later it still looks good to me. $11 now http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BLX1L4O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I put the sticker on my toolbox. I think it looks cheap and would leave the H unless buying a KDM airbag unit.

I guess I'll have to like the H, UGH hate it. The wife does not see the issue and see the 245.00 a waste of money. I had the dealer throw in all the wing badging Hood (not going to use) Trunk (love it on) Wheels (not on yet) Need a Air Bag.

Thanks as I tried to do a search but did not see a thread where someone tried to remove the H. I fugured it had two pins through the air bacg cover and heated and smashed from the rear to hold in place.

Thanks

On my 2011, I installed the KDM bag and sold my old on online for $150. The 2014, I am doing the same. Already installed my KDM bag, and listed my stock airbag. My old stock unit hasn't sold yet, but it will.

I did the trunk and the wheels. I won't do the hood because I just don't care for it.

The one that sticks over the H on the wheel is just too cheap to me. I didn't like it at all. The H in the wheel really isn't bad at all. I am not a brand snob. But I do like the overall look to the be the same and the wings are very cool.

Nope - it's embedded in the airbag cover. A couple of guys ruined theirs trying to dig it out. If you get the $245 airbag with wings you can resell your OEM bag on eBay for around $150, so your net cost would be less than $100. That's what I and several others here did.

Wish I could have done that but the H on my airbag was bubbling/peeling and Hyundai didn't want to replace it saying it was my fault that it happened. Still kinda pissed about that.
