I apologize in advance for some of the current pictures as they might appear blurred. I will eventually get around to taking better proper day shots for everything, but I just quickly took these to give a sample of my ride.

[robs02elantra]

tints look good, well done

[Jlivan]

Looks good!

[KeWLKaT]

Nice!

I see that the modding bug is getting to you!

[fifthgear]

Yeah, thanks guys for stopping by :)

The mod bug is "evil." I can picture myself getting rims/tires, new speakers, and the suspension. Not to mention little things like the head light bulbs and 3-way nozzles, :abovelol:

[KeWLKaT]

Evil it is! :)

Good luck :D

[fifthgear]

Realistic Mods that I would like to get done:

.TWM Short Shifter
.Alpine Type-S or "better" speakers
.19.2mm 2003 Tiburon Sway Bar
.Front and Rear Strut Bars



Maybe come summer I will spring for one or two of these.

[BIGROB]

[Kens GLS]

Clear bumper lights and get rid of the mile long antenna.The sway bar is a great up grade

[fifthgear]

Thanks man :) The 20% is just illll! Nice appearance mod.. and at night no one can see me :D


^^ I don't wanna do too many appearance mods. I'd rather do performance/handling mods first and foremost, but yes, I do want to get rid of the antenna.

[BIGROB]

hey.. for the antenna jus take it off and hack it... lol i took mine off, and cut 20inches off if it... its now only 10 inches of antenna.. just make sure u take the ball thats on the top, and bring it down to the freshly cut antenna... jus take 2 pair of vice grips and put one on the ball and clamp it (not to tight, but tight enough) and then take the other and put it on the antenna and clamp it, then twist till it comes off...cut it, put the ball back on, tap it down wit a hammer to make sure it stays on, dont hit it to hard or u will bend the antenna... then put it back on the car... good luck, and sorry for typing so much lol

[KeWLKaT]

^^^ torching it works best. it will expand, and when you put it back, spray some water on it so itll grab onto the antenna by itself :)

Felix is such a hardass he huffs his torch. ;D

[KeWLKaT]

Damn right I do!

Lit or not lit, it don't make a difference! :D

[tharptroy]

I guess being in canada, you've got to do what you can to keep warm =P

as for the car, I say spring for the shifter and the swaybar next

[Munky]

TWM shortshifter is next on my list as well.

[KeWLKaT]

Yep! TWM is the way to go, even though I have a different one.

[robs02elantra]

yep, got the twm installed...and as I told you online, you're going to love it if you get it. I can't believe that my shifts were so long before. Crazyness.

Don't listen to the ceiling cat though (apparently). Modding is fun, but don't catch the bug, it's expensive.

[KeWLKaT]

Modding is fun, but don't catch the bug, it's expensive.

Yep. I can agree on that one. :(

[fifthgear]

****! The rubber/felt strip that helps guide the window on my front passenger window must not have been put back properly when they did my tints, because I just started to roll down my windows in the last couple of days and the window is all ****ed up and scratched. I looked down and the felt piece is shoved below the door/window line. :(

[KeWLKaT]

bring it back! make them fix it!

[robs02elantra]

definitely, it's their mistake!! There is no way that you should wear this
