Yes exactly that! Something along those lines. I've seen it done on the ES and it looks sick
The grilles are definitely similar between the ES and GT, but I don't know how you would go about retrofitting it, if its not a match. Aftermarket options are still relatively limited for the GT. I like this one too 2017+ Elantra

A grille setup that takes after the Veloster N is what I rather see. The Elantra GT can benefit a lot from it, heck even 30 minute and some vinyl wrap can help accomplish the look you see below:

That appears to be the regular front grill from a 2019 according to:

Yes, that's what the part number suggests, but that's definitely not what the pictures look like. Furthermore, if you look at the items in the shop, they definitely seem to sell KDM stuff. Hmm might be better to check with a contact in Korea if I can find one on FB or something.

I have a buddy in Australia and the grill is in fact different from the Elantra GT/GT Sports we have here. That grill from eBay is from their i30 Go (Australia’s base model). So it “should” fit the gt/gt sport hopefully.

There are differences in the international models for sure.
I've been trying to source a black Hyundai badge cover for the front and back of my GT and I discovered that the i30N has a different sized H badge than my Elantra GT N-Line. I wonder if the badge size matches the i30 Go or if there's also a difference in the i30 N-Line grill.

I was interested in buying that badge cover a few months back. It’s a good thing I held off from purchasing because I was close to pulling the trigger on those lol. It would be interesting to see if the i30 Go grill will fit perfectly or would require some fabrication.

The Kona one might fit. I was in traffic today on my way home and there was a Kona behind me.
I kept staring at the size of the badge relative to the license plate and I thought "maybe..." the Santa Fe I drove past a few minutes later was a definite no go. That badge seemed much smaller.
Nice encouraging info.
I'm tempted to give it a try, but it is my second choice - ideally the 19 GT N-line front grille would match as it would be much easier+cheaper for me to source that here in Canada than to order from Ebay. Has anyone measured the N-line grille vs the 18 GTS front bumper?

My rear badge cover arrived yesterday and it fits perfectly. I also found some Kona badges on eBay that had measurements posted in the description and while they were all super sloppy and approximate, I think it's close enough, so I just ordered a Kona front cover to try out.
I also received an extra N-Line badge I ordered from eBay and that I'm planning to mount on the front grill where the Veloster Ns have their N.

Nice! Thanks for the update on the badge covers. I’ll look into them.
Good choice on the N line badge for the front grill. I’ve done that with my N line and I love the look of it. Gives a nice accent to the car and nod to the N performance cars.

Wait on the Kona one until I give the all clear. If it isn't a good fit, I'd feel pretty guilty to make others waste their cash.
Not to hijack, but do you have a pic somewhere of what your grill logo looks like, and how you affixed it? Seems the Veloster N grill is filled in where the N logo goes as you can see in the back picture (6) of this eBay auction:

So, I was planning to make a sort of plastic clamp through the grill and attach the N-Line logo to that. But I'm curious what you did.
Thanks!
