It's odd but I can't really see any major differences between that and stock. It has the foglights deleted, a splitter, and it's utterly slammed, but otherwise looks pretty much the same. But for some reason looks a bazillion times better? Subtle 'chopping? Weird...

Hood looks different which is a big help IMO. Also I like the fog delete. Helps with the front end look. The rear is also cleaned up with the debadge and rear defuser + exhaust. Plus side view mirrors.

I think it looks great. Drop is a little extreme for me.

Edit: Also agree that I like it cause it is subtle and not over the top like F&F style.

I'm thinking now that it may be the foglights that are the problem for me, less the grille (but the grille is the problem I have with the BRZ...). Convert those foglights to brake ducts, and then a black car kind of masks the grille and hood stuff. Hmmmm...

Agreed. I thought the fog lights looked goofy to me for a while and it wasn't until I saw the Austech that it all made sense. I think the dark gray or black GC look great. Just would like a different hood.

I actually like the GC in white and Usually I tend to not like white cars, and I do think their Gray and While looks great.

I agree the hood change made a big difference for me but the fog delete has me thinking Mazda like crazy

The angle the choose also really makes the headlights look good cause I thouht they look kind of goofy from the front view

One thing tho I don't understand how you clean a rear end up by removing a badge and then adding stuff? I thought that meant making it look less busy

I could do without the wing and diffuser

just noticed that the 2.0T pricing has gotten a little off track. People are saying $25,000. It's actually $24,250. Not that much of an increase over the previous model. (for the base model)

That doesn't include the $875 destination charge which makes slightly above 25k. 2k above last years model.

Never heard that with the old Genesis Coupes. Sticker price has been sticker price from what I've seen with them. (same base price they show on their website)

Maybe this is if you order one just the way you want it?

Every car has this charge. Go look on Hyundai's website or any car makers website.
