Unorthodox method, I know, and NOT recommended.
I just broke the two small, smooth and hollow tube-like plastic pieces
that protrude from the back of the “H” emblem and fit loosely through
two little holes in the grill.

Gathered my tools:

(Only ended up using three: a flat head screwdriver, sledgehammer & cell phone for pics.)

Before:

During:

Test run to see if I wanted to use the “The Art of Speed” backing sticker or not:

All done!:

Also, on the trunk, I switched out the 3.8 lettering for the GT lettering:

What did I do with the old 3.8 lettering? …Well, would this be considered “rice”?:

Nice!! I wish the genesis coupe had came with the wing emblem standard so that 75% of the owners didn't have to go through the hassle of replacing the (H)s

Is there more detail on how you removed the H?

Happy to describe it in more detail!: I positioned the flat head screwdriver under the "H" closest to where I believed the right plastic tube to be. Then I took the sledge hammer and whacked the end of the screwdriver to force more of it between the "H" emblem & the grill. It took very little whacking and a little outward prying of the screwdriver to get the right plastic tube to break. Then I just repeated the process on the left plastic tube. Once it was broken the emblem just fell right off. Hope this helps. Just let me know if you'd like me to post a pic of the back of the original "H" emblem.
