New Owner

[drjay9051]

Just wanted to say hi. Picked up a 4.6 from Hyundai St. Augustine today. It's a pristine 2009. I do have two questions but could not find answers,

1. On the front grill which appears to be brushed chrome or aluminum there is a tiny spot where the brushed finish has been "nicked off". Dealer did not know how to correct defect. This small 1/4 inch area appears shiny. Any thoughts on how to restore to duller brushed look? Anybody have this happen? Is it peeling and will it spread?

2. My Genesis has the "wing emblem" on the deck, hood and rims. Any idea of waht this accessory cost. Just curious.

Thanks

J

Congrats on your new Genesis.

Born and raised in JAX. Moved out to Seattle about 18 years ago. I really miss the beaches there.

Not sure what to tell you about your issues. There is alot of information out on this forum so help is on the way.

Congrats! The Genesis emblems vary in price on ebay but you could get that same full kit as on your car for $75+- delivered

Buying the badges on ebay should be around $80 and that leaves you to do the install. (less than 1 hours work).
Going through a dealer, well, the sky's the limit! I have read 250-450 and up when they do the install.

The wing badges for 4.6 wheel caps are much more than they suggest (assuming the correct ones on installed on your Genesis), and cost about $230 alone. The hood and trunk badges cost about $20 each (assuming the previous owner installed them himself).

Yes you are correct, I was referring to the standard V6 caps at around $15 each.
They fit the V8 wheels but not everyone likes the look. So for $170 more they have the ones you are referring to, which are aftermarket and not from Hyundai.
