Replying to: sundevils (May 30, 2007 7:20 am) Like allmet33 and floridabob1, my debadging has nothing to do with not being proud of a Hyundai or having too much time on my hands. In fact, I own two Hyundais. It has more to do with perceived cleaner lines from my perspective and the "mystery" factor of people not knowing what the car is. It has caused numerous people to engage me in conversation about the car. I probably have averaged two people a week asking me about the car since I bought it last July. I enjoy the attention and only speak highly about Hyundai. I'm having more fun with this car than any other car I've ever owned. So, why would you feel compelled to speak negatively about what we've done? It's just our personal preferences and we've never suggested that others should be doing the same. I just don't understand your post. What were you trying to accomplish? |

Replying to: akoni1 (May 30, 2007 5:29 am) It probably does have something to do with age because I too am 77 and am not debadging my Azzy. I love it just as it is. It is pearl white and I catch myself admiring it as I have no other of my cars. I love my Sonata LX as well.  Don

Replying to: grayfox (Dec 12, 2006 7:14 am) I know that it has been a while, but I have now found someone to repaint a non "H" grille for me with sage green paint. I can't find the postings outlining the easiest procedure to swap the grilles. Any assistance would be appreciated. |

Replying to: sundevils (May 30, 2007 7:20 am) When I had my '02 Sonata, I went in with optimistic skepticism (how's that for oxymoron). Yes, I knew the Hyundai curse, but again...I was in a position that I needed a car, but I didn't want to spend over $20K which Toyota wanted for the Camry. Along comes the Sonata and this time I decided to enjoy it. It wasn't long before the car itself made me not worry about anything happening with it, it was a great car. I removed the badging from the back end, put a stereo system in it and added some rims. Everyone thought it was a new Jag, I loved it! After 4 years and 105K miles later (with no problems might I add), the car was traded in due to my girls getting taller and needing more leg room behind me...thus, the Azera. Am I ashamed of owning a Hyundai? Quite the contrary my friend. I like the cleanliness provided by removing the cheap "chrome" plastic lettering from the back end. All you see is the encircled "H" and the word AZERA across the middle...very classy indeed! When folks ask me about it...I'm quick to say it's a Hyundai just so I can watch peoples eyes bug out their head in disbelief. I point to all the encircled "H" emblems on the back, front and steering wheel. By all means my friend, I'm glad to own a Hyundai and speak highly of it. Oh yeah, would the guy that had the brand new S-Class wagon on the beltway yesterday ashamed of his Benz? I mean...there was no badging on the back end of it, save for the encircled tri-star emblem. Give it a break Sundevils, Hyundai owners are not the only ones debading their vehicles and it simply boils down to asthetics and preference. I can see if someone were replacing the emblems with Lexus "L's", or the Benz tri-star or what have you, but that is not the case.

If anyone can give some tips on changing the Azera grille, it would be most appreciated. Is it best to pull the bumper, or is that action not needed? I know that there was a posting on this procedure at some time in the past, but I can't locate it.
