Anyone install the wheel badge only?

[jpq1999]

I just got my "mod kit" of various items. Put the 18" wheel caps on (looks great). Front and trunk badges will get done in the next few days.

One question: I also bought the wheel emblem on eBay for $15.99. Has anyone installed it (instead of the entire airbag retrofit?

Please let me know if you did it, how you did it, and how it turned out. If it's not worth it, I probably won't even bother

i just installed mine over the weekend. It is well worth the cost of the item. Someone else posted a very good point, if your car is leased as is mine (27months) paying 295 / over 10 a month for the complete airbag replacement seems frivolous.

It fits directly over the existing H and is a nice addition to the wheel.

you mentioned you got the 18" hubs. do you have a 3.8 or a 4.6. i also installed the 4.6 specific hubs and they look great!

I am jus curious about the lease terms. If you mod the car like you have, and then return it after the lease, do you have to restore the badges to the original look?

If you look in the sedan forum there is a big writeup with members that have done this including pictures.

Put it on tonight. it took 30 seconds. Looks great! Thanks all! I also just bought a license plate I saw on another thread. I'll let you know how it looks when I get it. I bought the chrome w/ black "Genesis" letters for about $30 inc shipping
