    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Hello everyone,

I searched around and didn't find anything, and if there is I apologize and maybe you can share it. I am looking to see if anyone has done or if it can be done. Doing a front end conversion on the 2009-2014 genesis sedan to the newer years front end. Thank you in advance.
 
The 2009-2014 is based on the BH sedan. The 2015-2020 is based on the DH sedan. Completely different platforms, though oddly both are 74.4". I'm not saying it couldn't be done, but if you manage to get it working, it would be a crime if you didn't post pics!
 
Definitely no conversion kit. I thought about using a g70/g80 bumper to do my own custom bumper but I found a local pick up only M4 bumper for about 250 bucks cheaper than I've ever seen them and didn't have to pay shipping. Soo I'm going to be putting a little German aero on there and some people might hate me for it.. 😁😁
My friend actually made a render for me after laughing at my 2 second photo shop on my phone.. but im gonna hold off on posting it for now. I will be starting a build thread soon since I have so much going on with my car currently.

Here are the quick edits I made

G80 sport(couldnt find any good deals/wouldv3 been a much harder project with the difference in grille size between the 2 models.

The hyundai DH only applies to 15 and 16. 17+ is the Genesis G.

I've not seen documentation to support this, but I could be wrong. To my knowledge the DH platform lasted until the 2021 G80.
