New exterior appearance mods - emblems/exhaust

[My_Best_Pal]

Just finished up my emblem swaps and did the exhaust mod several weeks ago. My 2021 Genisade.

I like the BRENTHON or CALIBURN emblems better. Don't like the idea of using the old style Genesis badges, but just my opinion.

Imo...most if not all of these add ons..cheapens the appearance.
Why there is this never ending attempt to disguise the fact it's a Hyundai.

Because back in the 1980's when Hyundai first starting importing cars to the USA, their reliability was horrible. They were the butt of jokes from every late night comedian on a regular basis. One of the reasons why Hyundai first sold the Genesis cars as a Hyundai in the USA (instead of the separate brand it is today and was from the start in Korea) was that Hyundai USA wanted to improve the brand image of Hyundai. This was a direct quote from John Krafcik, the former CEO of Hyundai Motor America. Later, Krafcik was CEO of Waymo (until just recently), the Google effort to build a self-driving car.

Nobody can 'disguise' the Pali is a Hyundai; we're just making it look better . And to me the Caliburn emblems (which I have) look the best. When people ask, we simply tell them it's the Korean emblem. Ha ha.

I opt changing the emblem for this reasons:
1. It looks much better than the Hyundai Logo emblem.
2. It would be harder for car autopartes burglars to identify my Palisade as a “Hyundai Palisade”.
3. It’s part of an ongoing car personalization.

Oh, come on... Yugo was worse!

Yes, the Yugo was far worse. That is probably the only thing that saved Hyundai in the USA market, along with their 10 year - 100,000 mile powertrain warranty introduced starting with 1999 model year.
