welcome to EXD. and glad to see another hatch here :D
love the wing and love the tail light swap.

Cleaned my trunk handle trim (is this the right word for it?).
What do you think about it?

[omghi2u]

I'm a hatch owner myself. I love the wing and I love the shaved handle trim, how did you do that? Also I take it the wing is OEM?

[Catfish]

The wing is Hyundai OEM.
For the handle I used some polyester-putty from Nigrin. I only ground the plastic and filled the holes after removing the emblem and the lock.

Great looking GT!

The drop looks great.

Very nice, dont see many elantras in Europe, I go to Italy every couple years and only see Atos, Accents, and Sante Fes.

I'm in Kosovo and I see elantras every now and then, usually sedans

In bulgaria they use em as taxis

Very nice ride man how much did the rims cost you?
with tiers in €?
thoes it rub on the back end?

[Vampyrate]

looks sick! i love the shaved trunk!

wish there was a writeup on how to do it! i find it useless to have a lock back there anyway when the alarm is the only thing that i use to unlock it.

[Catfish]

@CsL_FrEaK: the rims were 1050€ (~1335 US$) and they don't rub :tongue:

Pictures show the handle before painting.
The bracket (2nd picture) was broken apart but I could fix it with the same putty I used to fill the holes...

[Vampyrate]

very nice, how did you remove that if you dont mind me asking.

is there a way to remove it from the outside? or is it easier to take apart the hatch and remove it from the inside?

[Catfish]

You can only remove it from inside. You have to unfasten six nuts...
The easiest way is, to take apart all the hatch-covering around the window, because the removeable service-panels leave not much room to work.

[CsL_FrEaK]

What engine is in it?
btw rims look great on your car...
prices almost are same as in Croatia...

[Catfish]

What engine is in it?
The 2.0 with 102kW / 139hp

[Catfish]

Did the Honda-S2000-Antenna-Mod! :D
Looks great, especially on my black XD!

The clear sidemarkers are stock on the tiburon and other models in germany. I got them from my Hyundai-dealer.

And yes, the spoiler is pretty rare. I guess I'm the only one in germany to have this one installed :D

Took away the rear wiper yesterday... I like the clean look!
I also wanted to remove the nozzle, but this will take some hours of work... I think I have to remove the whole roof-covering to reach the nozzle and hose from inside...
