Keep the black trim, i personally love the look. I suggest either Nightshading the side markers, or using vinyl tint.

The black trim is what seperates your GT from a GLS!

I agree ... the black trim is GT specific and it looks good!

Definitely keep the black trim - It breaks up the red nicely :)

[jayupark]

black trim if you tint the windows too :D

[Slapshotman7]

I say keep the trim, adds a nice look and like exsailor said it breaks up the red nicely. Between the trim and the rims it has an audi-ish look to it (at least in my opinion)

[CornbreadXD]

keep it, and tint the sidemarkers

[04GTboySC]

keep the trim

[SuperGLS]

Yep. Tint would help too, like mentioned.

no black trim makes KeWLKaT want to puke

[SilverElantra]

it depends on the look you are going for honestly i break black trim down like this....if you want luxury look paint over the black...if you want a sportier look then leave it...it is audi ish looking for sure...cant tell btw sedan or hatch...cause imo for sure if its a sedan...gt or not...keep it looking cleaner and get rid of or paint over the black trim.

[joph09]

keep it, looks like a gls without it and too plain

Not true. My GLS hatch has black trim.... the things that separate a GT from a GLS on outside appearance are wheels and fog lights.

true..only on 05+ hatchbacks

[Doohickie]

Actually, I think it's all hatches. The only thing I'm not sure of is when they started offering the GLS hatch.

This is an XD not an XD2, doesnt apply to you!

[Doohickie]

ummmm.... even the 04-06 models are officially XDs according to Hyundai.

Hi Doohickie, welcome to the site. :tongue:
In order to avoid confusion, we tend to refer to the 01-03 Elantra as XD, and the 04-06 Elantra as XD2.

The only thing I'm not sure of is when they started offering the GLS hatch.
We've had the GLS hatch here since 2000/2001. I'd assume you guys got the same deal over there.

I say keep the black trim. It looks good, and if you got it painted, then had some asshole open his door and *uc* it up, you'd be kicking yourself for getting it done. Definately get some tint on it though! :thumbsup:

[SuperGLS]

Be nice kids.

Seinster, we got our GLS hatch for 2006 and that's it.

I second that... "F" Hyundai Corprate! HAHA jk :D

[Jlivan]

Keep the trim as is. I do agree to black out the side markers, the orange is yucky.
