What If we didn’t have a boomerang

Doesn't look bad, but I do think the boomerang jazzes things up a bit.

It looks good without it, but the boomerang has always stood out as a unique design element... Without it, it looks too German; too sterile. Just my opinion.

Great photoshop, though!

I’ve always had mixed feeling about that. Though I’m not a big advocate of chrome in general I felt the G70 did use it in an attractive manner. Not so much with the chrome boomerang. What I would have liked to see was a body colored one or black. Heck it’s still one of the best looking cars out there.

nice work! i agree with petraman though. as clean and sleek as that looks without, i kinda like the hockey stick - especially since it is functional. not sure if i'd call it unique since i've seen these on lot of other cars, but it isn't too in-your-face with the dark chrome finish at least.

Ironically, I parked next to a newer BMW 530 today and it has a chrome backwards "comma" right about where our boomerang is

Are these easy to take off? I have been thinking about doing this but didn't know how much of a pain it would be to do it.

Don’t cause it has vents!

There was someone that removed it to wrap it and another posted something that made it look like you can just pop it off. I never tried though.

Even if you did, wouldn't there just be hole in the car?

It really does look good. Makes it looks very clean. And honestly, I don't mind the boomerang - I could really take it or leave it. But it certainly makes the G70 just a little more unique.

Looking at it more it kind of makes me think of an Audi. Huh.

Like others said, nice work on the Photoshop - very well done. Appreciate you sharing it!

Seems like I’m the minority, but I like it without. In general, I think all the chrome bits look a bit cheesy.

I like this approach a bit more. Vent worked into the bodywork without looking like the stick on chrome bits from Wallyworld. (Unless my depth perception is off on the bmw pic)

It's actually how I identify G70s from the other Genesis models. When I was in Korea the first thing I would look for was the side vent, instantly distinguishes it from a G80 and G90.

Here it is in black. Mine was wrapped on the car.

That looks terrific !

Honestly, my issue with the 'rang is that it's chrome. What's interesting is that a lot of the sport trims in the Genesis line eliminate the chrome.

So why did their dedicated sports car get even more?

Couldn't agree more

Now I have to try my hand at wrapping and black mine out...that looks awesome!!
