Brenthon badging...what do I actually get?

[Talking Sammich]

I know thee may be some of you who might be interested in the Brenthon (or possibly Caliburn, but I can't offer pics there) logos, but might not be sure what it is that you are actually buying. Well, a couple of things, if you buy them from our kind benefactor (pls see here https://palisadeforums.org/hyundai-palisade-badges-emblems/ ) you can expect what I have shown below. More things, that N Line is KDM Hyundai and is not associated with the Brenthon brand, so it is literally OEM, but also available from the store. Also, you see the strike plates (lower left in blackish anthracite...ish) and the accompanying stickies next to them, these are neither Brenthon nor OEM Hyundai, but I like them, put them on my Genesis and will be putting them on my Palisade. So to recap, of the Brenthon products, this is the "full set" as it stands at this time. It is important to understand i am not affiliated with this site other than being a member like you, I have nothing to do with sales, I have not been compensated for this post, and cannot answer questions regarding shipping other than I currently live in Texas and they got here in 2 days....er...maybe next day... from Florida...I don't check my mail every day unless I know I have something coming. So here we go, and yes I'm moving, so I shot this with my phone, not my camera on a Home Depot box.

Because I do enjoy rebadging as many import people do, (something that greatly confuses Jalopnik...it doesn't really, but the Jalopnik overlords want content from all employees every day, so, gotta blorch SOMETHING onto the site and the domestic guys have to have something to pretend to be confused by as well) I got even more Brenthon goodies, these are not, to my knowledge, available at the store at this time, I ordered direct from the MFR.

I want to be clear, no Camaro owner in the history of the mark have EVER put an SS badge on a Camaro that was not an SS. This is verifiable fact. Anyhoo, here are the goodies I got today, the keyrings are of VERY nice quality.

I also have no idea what the E&O stands for

Further, a not about the lettering. If any of you have done OEM rebadging, it is more common that not for the letting to have a clear applique on both sides, one sealing the sticky foam that is peeled off prior to placement, one that is on the face that is peeled off last, and a foam surround to help place all the letters evenly and straight up and down, or as needed depending on brand and badge/letters.

The brenthon has lettering has individual peel off stickies and no front applique holding everything together. So, with this in mind, you will have to take care when applying the letters. there is a visible notch in the foam to help locate the center, but do be aware of this and take your time.

Thank you for posting this up. I'm anxious to see your Palisade with everything installed... I like those extra accessories you bought. Oh and use that "template" to line-up the lettering for installation...

oh yeah, i wasnt planning on tossing the template, but I will likely also use a laser level and locate it first on the palisade lettering, use a small dry erase to establish minimums that i can see through the template once the oem letters are gone, put the template on using my favorite 3m painters tape between the letters, then do each letter from the center out.... my ocd will likely add 30-45 minutes to all this. I still need to grab an htrac badge, i don't like where it is from the factory, i think it ought to be lower

It sounds like you’re going to get out looking perfect. Can’t wait to see it finished!
