Got the clean look I wanted. First I was going to just get rid of the G80 since it was off center, but then I took a pic of the car and got rid of the "GENESIS" and it looked nice, so I took off the rest.
Pretty easy to do. I left the car out in the sun, used a soft/flexible plastic spatula (I have one that's mainly for applying decals, but a thinner one that's either from an old George Foreman grill or one of my kids arts and crafts sets). The lettering came off very easily. Then sprayed a small terry cloth towel with bumper sticker remover and any leftover glue/tape came off with hardly any rubbing. Made sure to wash the car afterwards to avoid any of that residue staying on the car. I've debadged Acuras, Infiinitis and BMWs in the past. This was by far the quickest. Didn't require a heat gun or dental floss, which I've had to use on other cars. Total time under 10 mins. I left the hood embled on there (not sure if it attaches with pins).
I'm mulling 3D printing my own version of the Genesis emblems to put on the rear and front hood, but that's a longer term project. For now I like the clean look.
I've noticed about a dozen people in parking lots/gas stations catch the side profile of the car or the rims, then nonchalantly go around to the back of the car to figure out what it is, only to realize there's nothing there. Frankly, even when I had the badging still on the car, people still had no idea what a Genesis was.

) and I'm still on the fence about removing mine I wonder what a very thin silver pin stripe from the top row of the tail lights would do to make the rear look a bit less Tesla. The wing
