I prefer matt black for that bumper grille. It is one of the most aggressive looking cars.

Yeah better than the shiny black or body painted color. The front has grown on me.

The size of Hyundai headlights bugs me. They're always such large assemblies.

The Genesis coupe looks cartoony to me especially the 2013 version. The 2013 front end looks like it is straight out from the cartoon movie "Cars". Fugly! just like the Mazdas'.
The BRZ has a similar front end but not as bad.
The FR-S/GT86 is the way to go if you afford to have a Corvette, Porsche or the Prancing horse of Ferrari.

Colour matched grille, fog delete, and use the fake vents as templates for real ones (also colour matched) and it becomes acceptable. Oh, and decent wheels (PF01's maybe).

Anyone know if there is a better forum than GenesisForums.org for more 'real-world' experience/info? That one is pretty weak and not too active by the looks of it...

Try www.gencoupe.com

The fake vents arent any better or worse then the fake vents the BRZ has. I think it looks much better in person and the new front end makes the car look smaller IMO. The new front is very blunt and doesnt look as long as the old version. Im not a fan of the grill and the fog light surrounds on my current 10 Genesis.

Disliking the GenCoupe fake vents doesn't mean I like the FR-S/BRZ's fake vents.

On GenCoupe.com the first suspension thread I skimmed was 16 pages on KSport lowering springs. Not a good sign...

Oh, it wasnt directed at you. I just meant that it isnt the first and wont be the last car that has fake vents of some kind.

Yeah, the gencoupe forum unfortunately has alot of threads like that one. Along with Lambo doors, hellaflush, etc. I stay far far away from those lol.

Those red seat interior is beautiful and it looks great with out fog lights.

Review and they compared it to the FRS o.o

Snoopyalien24 · 02-28-2012, 02:53 PM

.... attractive?

And, it feels like a serious sports car over the FRS, but lacks purity? Oxymoron much? lol

Idk good review tho, but I think it's ugly. LOTS of getting used to
