I got my Wings yesterday

[warreneaux4]

I finally had my Wings, front and rear, installed yesterday on the 2014 Black/Black Genesis.
WOW, what a difference it makes in the looks of that car.

Sorry about the license plates. I meant to blank them.
I have clear frames that will go on the car today to replace the dealer frames.

Love the rear wing, never really liked the front one. I left mine off. I agree though, it makes a huge difference in the appearance when viewed side by side or a before/after. Makes me wonder why Hyundai USA didn't do this at the factory... One of life's great mysteries I suppose

This has been discussed a million times. The Genesis is sold in Korea, Middle East, and Russia with the wings everywhere (no flying H). It is sold as a Genesis BH380, BH500, etc, not sold as a Hyundai (just as Lincoln is not sold as a Ford).

The reason for the Hyundai badge in USA is that Hyundai Motor America wanted to sell the Genesis as a Hyundai to improve the brand image of Hyundai in the USA, which took a terrible beating back in the late 1980's and 1990's.

We get the wings by buying them from people who go to a Hyundai dealer in Korea and purchase them as OEM parts, and import them to the US and sell them to us. Hyundai Motor America (HMA) does not sell the wings. For 2015, HMA sort of changed their minds on the front wings, steering wheel, and wings on wheel rims (but still the H on the rear).

More proof you “Don’t mess with Texas”!
Real nice ride.
I always preferred a black on black car. Old guys rule thanks for the pictures.

I do know people that have been written tickets for not displaying the front plate.
We just live with it.

Well, it will almost fly!
For a six cylinder it is very fast.
Go airborne, not likely but if it does at least I "have wings". lol

I do like the front.
Friday noon my wife and I were leaving Pappdeaux's Restaurant, 4 guys walked past, one of them glanced down at the front of the Genesis, stepped back a couple of steps, just stood there looking at the car, never made eye contact with us.
We thought that was a unique reaction and I would really like to know what he was trying to figure out.

Knew overseas got the wings, but didn't know about the BH3800, etc

Haven't read this anywhere before, but makes sense. I think it worked.

Yup, gotta love ebay!

Different strokes for different folks! I don't dis people with them as I think it looks very unique, but I liked the clean look of the hood. If I'm being honest, had Hyundai equipped the card with a front emblem from the factory, I probably would have gone w/ the wings as a replacement instead of shaving it clean.
