Bought badges from our forum and need to return!

[iansindy]

Hello! Can anyone tell me how to exchange badges that I purchased from the forum. The package had nothing inside but the badges. They have the tabs and my car was sold in America. Help me please!

Those wings are parts from the Korean version, and if your Hyundai has no holes, just remove the tabs yourself. A dremel tool works good. If you don't have one and are not handy with other tools that might work, ask a friend.

BTW, what model year do you have?

Ahh. Great idea. 2013 3.6 base, I believe. I love it. Rented one a year ago and traded my truck in for a used low mileage Genesis sedan.

If you have a 2013, you don't have a "2G" Genesis. 2nd generation starts in 2015.

The rear badge should fit fine with the tabs (fits in same holes that the H uses), assuming that you have purchased the correct badge for the 2013. If you want to put the 2014-2015 rear badge on a 2013, you will have to remove the tabs because the holes don't line up.

Obviously, the front badge needs the tabs removed since there are no holes in the 2013 hood on the USA Genesis. The front and rear badges are not the same, due to the curvature of sheet metal.

There are many threads and post with instructions, including photos and videos.

Fishing line and a hair dryer work great to remove the trunk lid "H" . There is a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6l9hfr-J64

Putting Generation 2 badges on a Generation 1 Genesis is sacrilege. Besides, there will soon be a brand new badge available.

OP has a 2013. not 2 Gen

Yes, OP told us that and so did Mark888.

Also, I don't know if the G2 hood badge fits on a G1, since it is curved to match the bend in the sheet metal on the hood (which may be different between G1 and G2). The trunk badge is pretty much flat.

Just leave the hood badge off.

Thanks everyone. I do not like the look of the hood badge either.

Agreed - Gen 1 is not worthy of the nicer badge...
