Front emblem question

[kirkk]

Just noticed today that my front winged emblem is "missing" the bottom half of the insert (see image). No idea how or when this happened but I'm wondering if that piece is a decal that can be replaced or if I'll need to replace the whole thing. If its a decal that can be replaced any pointers on where I could find one?

Thanks!
Kirk

Re: From emblem question

The emblems are available here

Genesis Wing Badges and Emblems (All Generations)

Upgrade your Genesis vehicle's status with one of these "winged" Genesis emblems - which area a really nice improvement over the "flying H" emblem if that's what is on your Genesis. Or, if you already have the Genesis wings, how about an upgrade to the LED lit version? Also available in with 24...

I think the hood looks better naked myself, but to each his own.

Pretty sure you won't be able to get just the decal. If you want a new one, eBay will be your best bet. Mine came with the front wing, and I've been thinking about removing it as it would look cleaner without it IMHO. I just don't want to remove it and then regret it, so I haven't done it yet Not that I couldn't stick it back on LOL.

Thanks for all the replies. I'd thought about just removing it but it was on there when I bought the car so I'm not sure how long it's been there and I'm kind of worried about the paint looking different underneath (car has 35k miles). Guess I could remove it and if there is a paint issue I could just put a new one on. Are they difficult to remove?

Are they difficult to remove?

No very easy to remove. Let the car sit out in the sun for a few hours or heat the emblem (gently) with a hair dryer. Take a piece of dental floss and wrap it around your fingers. Use a sawing motion with the floss behind the emblem to pull it away from the double-sided tape. Use some Goo Gone to remove any tape residue.

Spraying with WD 40 and letting it sit in the sun helps a great deal before using dental floss

Took mine off with 29k on it and it looked like day 1

I agree with owners who say car looks better without the front emblem. I have the rear wings, wheel emblems, and steering wheel all with wings but left the front emblem off. I have it sitting in a drawer if I change my mind.
