Poll ... unbadged

[cschuler]

How many would vote for this look?

Actually, I think it looks pretty nice - but we'd have those pesky holes to patch. I guess we could just stick in some chewing gum or something, but my car is black and I don't think they make Black Jack gum anymore...

Reminds me a little (conceptually) of the customized cars from the '50s that I lusted after as a teenager with no money (Mercs, Fords, Chevys, etc.).

I customized several cars in the 50's and loved the look after all that cheesy chrome was gone.

Hyundai would never go for it as they have a strong marketing division (as they should). Logos and badges are very important to manufacturers.

I just wanted to share my taste which can be summed up as "less is more." And I wanted to see if anybody agrees.

OK - I've been wondering for over 50 years how other kids had enough bucks to own a car, put gas in it, pay for insurance, and customize it. I got my first car when I joined the Army after finishing high school - my parents were in no position to buy a car for me, or for any of my four brothers and sisters. I couldn't even conceive of the notion of parents buying cars for their kids - never happened to anybody I knew!

I think it looks nice and clean. That would be my second choice, before the flying H and after the Wimgs! It looks nice, good job.

on my current car, i paid $300 to have the holes filled and painted over. cleaner look and easier to wash. i have done the debadged look for my last three cars.

however, i think i might side with the wings emblem if i get the genesis. gives it a more polished and expensive look to it. the debadged look would be a a very close second and the H would be a distant third...

 

[Cut-Throat]

I like the Wings and will get them.

 

[kayroe]

I think that it makes the rear end look a little too clean.

 

[vitacura]

Looks good, but personally, I prefer the wing emblem.

I think it looks to plain. I guess an alternative to the badge challenged installers , as some one mentioned just get some gum to fill the holes.

I like it and would do it but I dont want to deal with those wholes.

I started working at age 11, with a paper route. My next job was at a gas station and I purchased my first car when I was 15 years old. I rebuilt it and customized it and souped it up before I could legally drive it. My parents never contributed one cent to my cars, and I also paid for my college education.

 

[TahoeDD]

I'm gonna keep my wings and debadge 'genesis' that way it keeps people guessing even more.

 

[Onedurwho]

Vote for Wings. Oh, and you'll find Black Jack gum at Cracker Barrel.

I walked to school, uphill both ways.
