2003 Hyundai Elantra GLS Sedan
How long have you owned your Elantra?
Since November 24, 2003.
Is there anything special, unique, or different concerning the history of your Elantra?
It is my first new car. First thing to ever start building up some
credit with.
Honestly, what was your intention when you bought your Elantra?
At first, nothing. At the time I was doing pizza delivery, and my
old car was having so many problems, it was actually cheaper to buy a
new car. When I got the car, all I wanted to do was tint, rims, and lower
it. Just something that looked good.
What was your intention after discovering EXD (or other Hyundai forums)?
Really I just picked up different parts here and there. OEM
spoiler, GT wheels, intake. I'd find parts I liked, and pick them up. Its
been coming together since I got the car, and to this day, I'm still
looking for something to add on.
In one word describe the style of your Elantra.
Clean.
Who helped modify your Elantra?
Mostly, work was done by me, but I have had help from members on
EXD, whether it be in person, or with their know-hows while talking
online.
What do you like most about your Elantra?
How it handles on dry roads in the summer.
What do you like least about your Elantra?
It's a Hyundai, and people still give you a lot of grief about it.
What modification is next for your Elantra?
Key Motorsports Headers should be here soon.
On a scale from 0-10, how would you rate your Elantra?
8.
Most commonly, what do people say about your Elantra?
"Why did you do that to an ELANTRA!?"
Who is allowed to drive your Elantra?
Me, Nick (projectx515), and sometimes my brother.
What is the most outrageous thing you have wanted to do to your car that you have not been able to do?
Turbo. Well, I was 95% there. Had to cancel that idea.
What kind of car did you own (or drive) before your Elantra?
1996 Chevy Corsica and a 1996 Geo Metro.
Realistically, what kind of car is next?
A Mazda 6. Something that has an aftermarket for sure.
