Nice. I like the fitment and stance on the gray one as well. Are those 18"s? I don't think those wheels particularly suit the car though.

Sidenote: I've only seen 2 of these cars attempt the Hella Flush look anyways, and they're both from Florida.

Actually, other than the carbon fiber, I think that's the perfect GC setup. The wheels could be a little better, but overall it looks great and is still a good daily driver since it isn't too low.

Here's the mod list for that GC I posted:

Seibon Carbon Fiber Trunk
3in Vibrant Exhaust Tips
Tein S-Tech Lowering Springs
XXR 521 Wheels 18x8.5 Fronts 18x10 Rears
Sumitomo HTRZ-II Tires 245/40 Fronts 275/40 Rears
Specter Cone Filter
Generic Oil Catch Can
HKS Circle Earth Grounding Kit
Auto FX Custom Vinyl Hood Wrap
215 Motoring 35% Tints All Around
Custom Performance Engineering Tow Plate
Seoulful Racing Painted Luxon Front Grill
Seoulful Racing System Upgrade Charge Pipe/BOV
Dual Supertones Hella Horns
Diode Dynamics 8000K HID Kit
Diode Dynamics Stage 3 LED Plate Bulbs
Custom Black Painted Headlights
Custom Turtle Stuffed Animal

so it's basically stock with appearance modifications?

i do really like those wheels, however.

A sway bar brace provides one or more diagonal members designed to resist horizontal forces. Hence, it reduces body flex when cornering hard.

As said before, it's a common piece used for car shows. It is for aesthetics mostly, not worth the money otherwise.

Lol, as I said yeah, sway braces basically for looks, but they are not that expensive or hard to install.

Where is that GC from anyways? The tire size is basically what I was looking for, the rims are ok, but not my first choice. I've got some CF parts coming soon, but mostly interior/engine bay stuff. I'm not a big fan of CF hoods or trunks. A CF wrapped GT wing would be nice, or fog light surrounds. That grill is nice too.

I really like Konig's, they have lots of good styles if you can swallow the price. Like these:




or these



but I haven't made my mind up yet, its still a long way away. I just got the car in october so right now I am just saving up for mods and getting the dreams going in my head. I most definitely want a true dual cat back exhaust from Stillen, and if VTengineering creates a CF SRI I will hop on that as well, or just get an AEM CAI. I've got a reflash coming in the spring as well. But all this takes money so, time to work overtime!

I like the style of the second one, but the color might clash with your car's color. It really is up to you though, so my opinion is hardly something you should take into consideration.

GL, I knows it's a big leap forward, but it's still a hundai, not hating, just hope it lasts and gives you the power you want, very clean looking if that's the look your going for

This is the only picture I could find of a GC rocking those.

Reputation aside, what proof do you have that Hyundai produces a bad car?
