Updated Pictures Post 16

Details:

3M Headlight Film
3M Foglight Film
Front and Rear sidemarkers tinted
Windows Tinted
Debadged Rear-end
Sweet Tire Valve Caps  :rolleyes:

Sorry for the lame driveway pictures but I was bored and lazy so these are the results.








Next mods will definitely be lowering springs and new dampeners.

Lovely colour, looks sweet, though to be honest I'd remove the V8 badge... trying to hard and will leave you red in the face when a V8 wipes the stretch with ya :P

Im going to suggest it allows the passenger to lock/unlock all the doors in the car. Some Hyundai's have that feature I think.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I enjoy the car a lot.

The V8 badge is off my buddies Tundra and is on there as a joke. I'm not trying to kid myself or anyone else.

And yes the button is to lock the doors.

Thanks! It's on the list. Modding has stopped because all the money I've spent on Christmas gifts.

Hi Michael.

Your great looking car is now even more fantastic.  :goodjob:

Have you felt any improvement in handling with the lowering kit..?

The springs eliminated a lot of body roll while maintaining a comfortable ride. You definitely feel bumps more now, but the positives out weigh the negatives. I really need some camber bolts for the front to get some negative camber upfront.
