^^^^. Hello, it replaces the current hood emblem which on mine is all silver. I wanted options as I’ve started adding carbon fiber and needed something to enhance the hood area.

There is a guy named Sal that had another Genesis site like this one. He sells stuff there. I don't know if you go there or not, but here is a link for the GV80 portion of his store.

I have a glossy black OEM emblem I bought from South Korea / have GENESIS lettering and tear emblems in black as well if I decide to change over to match carbon fiber lip kit. But have to say I love my front lighted OEM emblem - looks great on my white GV80 in my opinion. I added an OEM G80 emblem that also lights up white and when I brake then turns red -acts as a brake light.

^^^^. Care to share more information about these, also does it need drilling to fish the wires through ?

Had to drill small hole to fish wires through - wired to brake lights. I purchased the emblem from RPMTrade - great source to acquire items from South Korea. The only other GV80 I saw with a rear emblem the person actually attached to their rear glass - they removed the rear wiper blade / I guess they didn’t want to drill through the trunk but I didnt care for that look. Below are pics showing OEM G80 emblem mounted on rear hatch kit up both white and then red when the brake is engaged.

Oh for some odd reason I thought you were saying the hood emblem was lit up. Still that’s a sharp look and one that I would easily duplicate. Oh I also have a white one ( Matterhorn )

Sorry for any misunderstanding- my hood emblem does light up and it’s an OEM GV80 emblem. Think I have pics to show:
Actually I only found one -thought I had more. I will take more pics when I get the car back.

Thank you for posting this as it’s really giving me great ideas. You say it’s an oem lighted hood emblem, but I’m not seeing this on the Genesis website.

It purchased it from seller from South Korea - unfortunately unlike Mercedes or BMW, Genesis doesn’t yet offer a lighted emblem for its models to the best of my knowledge.

Unfortunately Genesis doesn’t yet offer any lighted emblems for its Genesis models to the best of my knowledge, unlike Mercedes and BMW for example. I purchased the emblem from my South Korean contact: rpmtradekorea@gmail.com. He has an eBay store as well - under RPMTRADE - but can get better pricing if deal with him directly. Still, I would say check out his eBay store for ideas. He is super reliable- I have received anything I ever purchased for him within 3 days from South Korea - including my power step color matched to my GV80.

RPMTRADE modified OEM Genesis badge to light up. Can light up White, red or both. I chose to only wire for white light as being in front hood wanted light to match paint. Thought red wouldn’t make much sense for the hood but then that’s me. The rear emblem made sense to me to wire both up.

Well the first emblem I ordered arrived safe and sound, just wondering how the oem one is held on to the hood. The new one comes with double sided tape.
