Sterling Blue Metallic

[Sayantsi]

Finally got some sun and warm weather and the free time to act on it - washed the Genny and snapped a couple quick pics.

The sun still sets quickly so not the best light, but who doesn't love a clean car?

Did you remove or move the Genesis name off the trunk? Usually it comes on the right side of the trunk. I moved mine to the left and added the BH380 on the right. You can see my pics in the owners lounge area and rebadge complete thread.

 

[Sayantsi]

Yes, I removed all the lettering from the back, and replaced only the Hyundai H with the Genesis wings on the trunk lid.

Looks Great!

It's probably needless to say, but it does look very sharp. I never get tired of looking at this car! I wish I could buy another one and put it in a vacuum container for at least 25 years.

The pics look bangin'!

Love the barn sliding doors as well!

Looking good! I really love the color. This was my first exterior color choice, but I wanted black interior and all the ones they had w/ this exterior color had the tan interior.

Picture of my Titanium Gray Genesis (2nd from the left) on the day I took delivery, next to the Sterling Blue.

That Sterling Blue is sharp.

Sayantsi, what a beautiful car! I think if I were to have one, I'd like my gennie to be a little bigger in the front.

Oh, wait...

Stunning color, that blue. Never seen one in person, but I can tell how good it looks.
God, I love those wheels.
Still need to verify the fitment on V8.

I remember staring at this very picture for what seemed like hours as i tried to decide between blue and silver...

At first, i wasn't sold on the V6 wheels, but then I saw them in motion, and they look really good imo - the way the chrome pieces catch the light makes them look great.

I really like the symmetry of it with the GENESIS logo removed from the back.

You just gave me another project...and I'm remembering what a PITA it was to remove the glue from under the flying H. argggghhh...

Try a little Goo-Gone. Make sure you get the regular stuff, not the Extreme version. Available at most stores such as Walmart, etc.

The problem wasn't so much that I left a little glue....it was that it was really difficult to separate the logo at the glue. I ended up cutting through the rubber cushion above the glue. Then I had to peel that off, before I could use any product to remove the glue.

Here's my SBM (w/cashmere interior). I love the color.

This happened with me as well - the majority of the tape was left on the car - too much for Goo Gone to lift. Patience and a finger nail are you best tools - it takes time, but do it correctly and you'll love the results!

Fwiw, the Genesis lettering basically fell off in my hand compared to how difficult the H badge was to remove. You should have an easier time of it.

Nice, is that 50% tint?

I much preferred the V6 wheels from the get-go.
That's why I was trying to see if the dealer would let me switch the V8 wheels for a set of V6s. No dice.
