Hello Eveyone, As you could probably tell, I am new to the forum. My name is Bill and I own an 02 Elantra GLS. I bought the car in 04 just to have something that was good on gas and that I could let my mother use while I am stationed overseas with the military. In february I went home on leave and to my surprise...my hyundai had been smashed up (I will put pictures up soon enough). Well this gave me an idea, I figured why the hell not try and trick out my korean made POS. So I bought an Extreme Dimensons Body Kit (Evo 3), an aluminum wing and one of those "pissed off Bumble-bee" mufflers. Now i am new to the whole "tuner" thing so any advice on where to buy parts is appriciated. Just a little backround, before I joined the militay I was a hot-rodder to the core, I worked in a hole-in-the-wall shop fixing busted **** and in my spare time my friend Ryan and I built cars for people and ourselves. Some of our projects are to include a 1940 Ford Coupe r-done from a police cruiser to a high-end sedan. A 1977 Chevy Nova, 305 with a 400 hydromatic...built for a 17 year old. A 1923 Ford T-bucket roadster for the boss and both of our S-10's mine a 1992 Tahoe 4x2 with a 350 100% custom, his an 1989 4x2 with new 4.3 Vortec. any questions or **** can be directed to we or on this thread. Also i need a place to buy a wheel tire package for my Elantra...17's or 18's if you know of any hit me up.

I was to Iceland once, that was all I could stand. Good luck with the body kit, and wherever you choose to get rims from make sure they are 18s, the ride is rough but man they look nice!

[Mad_Hatter]

18's rough ride?? dont think i want that, where is a good place to buy from?

try finding an old typhoon...GMC's version of the s-10 extreme...they came with 4.3 tbi z series and factory supercharged...rare find but better than having one custom built (now) or even maybe a jegs catalog may have something that will fit.
