Looking sharp!!

 

Very nice!

 

@Palidad First of all, looks awesome! Did you have the tailgate badge holes professionally filled and tailgate repainted? or how did you deal with the holes?
Next q.... in regards to your chrome delete of the tail lights, the silver sections on the inside portions are all LED, did they blacking out affect them? Mind sharing a pic of the tail lights on/brakes applied?

Yes. The tailgate was repainted after holes were filled in with filler. As far as the inside silver sections with the rear lights, the wrap in that section is a stretched version of headlight wrap. The lights come through but faintly. If you are standing by them you can see the light coming through. I'll try to post a picture in the next day or so

 

Very nice! I did the exact same thing with my white Palisade.

 

I really like your version too.
I considered the dark tint on headlights/taillights like your Palisade. But the cops around here have nothing better to do other than write silly tickets so I decided against it.

Besides - I already don't have front license plate ( required here in TX - but i REFUSE to ruin cars with them ) so didn't want to give them more ammo.

 

I really want to do this to ours but I'm not sure how good it will look with the moonlight cloud paint.

 

I have the moonlight cloud paint too. I showed my detail guy these photos and he said it wouldn’t look good with our paint color unfortunately.

What do you guys think?

Sinister! 💯

What part of Texas?

Aside from white, this would've been my 2nd option. You've nailed it. Well... Just to nitpick, the calligraphy wheels leave something desired...

Damn nice! What state you in? Not sure who does this in Minnesota. And did you lift the rear somehow? My 2021 Calligraphy has a bit of a sag look. The self leveling shocks make for crappy curb appeal.

No rear lift. I specifically didnt want to mess with the springs because of the self levelling feature. I dont think any Palisade specific aftermarket kits are available yet in US that I could find anyways. If anything I would want to lower it just an inch to get the wheel well space eliminated. I dont plan on ever really off-roading.

 

Dang this looks SO GOOD! I have a 2020 Limited and was starting to get buyers remorse on getting this color but I love what you did with it. I'm going to have to reach out to some auto shops around here to see if they can do the same. Thanks for all the pics!

 

HAHA It is technically my Wife's ride. I just got her approval to make it look a little cooler. I still am daily driving my CTS - although I find myself reaching for her keys more frequently these days.

I bought the badges from another forum

BRENTHON Emblem Set for Hyundai Palisade

It’s all about exclusivity with the BRENTHON design. Only you, Paul & some guy in Skonkondini was wealthy enough to purchase this set. So add this set to your cart to upgrade your Palisade to the level of BRENTHON! Same day priority shipping make our products a no brainer for anyone who wants...

and had them painted black to match the rest of the grill.

Front Grill is easy- you just pop off the original and tape the new ones on. The rear are a little more challenging but doable. There are many youtube videos of ppl doing it. good luck!

Looks great! I’ve been looking for some one in the dfw area to get some work done! Who did you use?

 

I used Prestige Tint & Auto Spa in Mckinney. Check out their Facebook page. They have done several Palisades. The black one in November was ours.
