White Satin Pearl Genesis

I was going to post right after I installed the winged badges and the V8's chrome strips. I am still undecided about the cap covers as I can't readily picture it adding anything to to the pearl car. Thoughts?

imho it's not about adding , it's about removing the hyundai logo! but seriously I think the kdm caps make the wheels look much better.

Good point. Besides, it would look inconsistent to have the winged badges on the car and the flying Hs on the wheels. Sold!

OK gang - I posted some pictures of my WSP V6 Tech in the photo gallery. Enjoy!

And I forgot to mention - Douglas Hyundai in Santa Ana were great - I enjoyed the experience, and it's not often you can say that at a car dealership!

Has anyone now seen a white Genesis with black interior? This past weekend I finally got to see my first white one with any color interior. This particular one had Cashmere and that color combo is just not for me or my wife.
Unfortunately I have had a great deal of trouble for several weeks now locating a white Genesis with any interior color, much less black. I have contacted numerous dealers in my area (I live in Northeast Georgia) directly and also have called the Hyundai Consumer Affairs number several times, but no one has been able to help me find a white one with any color interior. In addition I have repeatedly searched AutoTrader.com.but they have not shown any white ones (regarless of interior color) anywhere in the Southeast. I finally located the one with Cashmere by checking on line directly with numerous dealers. It was in Jacksonville, Fla and fortunately I was going there this weekend anyway so I was able to drop by and see it. I thought the White Satin Pearl color was very nice. Being very "picky" though, my wife and I noticed that the four small plastic inserts on the back bumper were much whiter than the rest of the car and did not match. These inserts on all the other colors did match. Has anyone else noticed this or have an explanation? Just curious.
One last thing. I have seen some individuals on this forum ask about factory orders. I have been assured by several dealers that Hyundai does not do factory orders. I verified this twice with the Hyundai Consumers Affairs group. Therefore I have not been able to "order" the white with black. Instead I am having to rely on dealers to check exisiting stock, and to this point I have not had any success with any of them.
The Hyundai Consumer Affairs Group (nor any of the dealers I have contacted) can not even tell me if they have shipped any white ones with black interior to the U.S., and if they haven't when they might do so. Very frustrating!

Rpenland, I can't speak for others. However, I ordered a 4.6 Genesis in June. While it took me until October the 20th to get it, I did get exactly what I wanted...In speaking with the regional rep who gave me the Vin# to my vehicle I was told that at the time it was the only 4.6 that would be delivered to the dealer I was working with...So I'm not sure that what you were told was the absolute truth...
