Vinyl Top

Probably the same reason why you have "wing badges" on your car.
Looks.

Hey, better to ask than to assume, right?

At any rate, it has been done before - the DUB Magazine has a white model with the black roof.

Not exactly. We have wing emblems because we ashamed to drive a Hyundai, and need something to fill up the holes in the trunk after we remove the "H".

I've been wanting to hack into the splash page that pops up when the car first starts so i can replace the "H" with the wings logo. Haven't cracked the code yet, but still working on it. Once that's done all traces of Hyundai will have been eradicated (except for the etching on the window glass). However, I for one wear the Hyundai badge with pride - I had an Azera for 4 years before buying the Genesis and never felt a minute's shame. But the Genesis is a whole nother thang...

I saw an M5 on the way into work that was white with a black vinyl top. Not my taste, but it did look sharp.

Do you think the DUB edition had a candy white paint applied? It almost looks too white to be the Satin Pearl.

Also, what does anyone know about painting OEM wheels? Those white rims look sweet! I know there is a lot to consider when painting rims but....

For some of us, this is our first Hyundai, and it takes a little getting used to. It is not so bad to tell someone who sees the car that it is a Hyundai, but a little uncomfortable to tell someone who has not seen the car that I drive a Hyundai. But things are changing.

Several years ago Hyundai had a bad rap, and deservedly so. Their cars were cheap and unreliable. However, in the past 8 years or so they have advanced by light years and can compete with the best in the world. The Genesis is great, the Equus looks good (but a little over the top for my taste), the 2011 Sonata is stunning, and the new Elantra/Avante looks great.

Now, that looks sharp!
See? Not too bad, eh?

Well.. I do see how it'll look kinda out of place on a stock Genesis with no other exterior modifications.
It'll probably look better on a 'souped up' car.

The reason why this appealed to me was because I get to try a different look without painting the whole thing.
If it doesn't look too good, it's always reversible with virtually no damage.

Seems to me that a black roof will just make the car hotter. There is a reason why many yellow school buses have white roofs (at least in places where I have lived).
