Nominate your car for December's COTM

[rckozma]

Nominate your car for December's COTM.


Rules for Car of the Month:
1. Only Elantra XD/XD2 is eligible to be a Car of the Month since this website is focused on that particular model. The owner of the car must nominate their car.
2. Provide at least 5 high quality pictures (shots of exterior, interior and engine are required). Starting January 2005 we'll be requesting that only high quality photos be submitted for COTM candidates. Also, we'll only want pics that sized at 800x600 - no borders. Also, we'll only except clean pictures, meaning not ones uploaded to car domain (or other such sites) with their logo on it. It is also recommended to have one simple 3/4 shot (without license plates), which looks best in the header, in case your car wins.
3. Include a list of mods.
4. The winner will be chosen by ElantraXD.com community. The voting will start on 20th day of the month and no more nominations for that month will be accepted. The polls will be closed on 28th day of the month.
5. You cannot nominate your car for two years after you win a COTM award. New update because of the calendar.
6. A nominee must be a regular poster with at least one post in the previous month.
7. The winner of COTM will have their car appear in the EXD header for that particular month as a reward.
8. There will not be a COTM for a month that only has 1 nomination.
9. In the event that there are more than 10 nominations, the first ten will be used for the COTM poll.
10. Please no comments in the thread - just nominations, if you have a question about what someone did to their car PM them. Any and all comments not pertinent to COTM will be deleted.

Please pay close attention to rule #2 this will now be enforced. Those pictures and/or nominations that do not meet the requirements on the 20th of the month will not be used.

Here we go again:

The Red Rocket is a 2005 Elantra GLS 5-door. I have made several mods, trying to use as many Hyundai corporation parts as possible to keep the OEM feel. So for my rims, I got a set of Elantra GTs, the sway bar is from the Tibby, as are both the subwoofer and the amp that drives it. The strut bar is from the Kia Spectra. This car and all its parts, to the greatest extent, are Made in Korea. One unique mod is a storage tray I built the fits under the cargo area floor, keeping the cargo area clean while carrying around tools and such. Maybe I could have saved some of these mods and just bought an Elantra GT, but I didn't want the leather seats in the Texas heat.

A unique mod.... I built this tray under my trunk floor so I can carry tools and stuff and still have a clean trunk:

We all know the stock horn is wimpy, wimpy, wimpy. I added two notes from a Nissan in a salvage yard. It retains the nature of the original horn but is a lot louder and more assertive. And a coat of paint dresses them up a bit:

Another unique mod- my backlit grill. This pic also shows off my aftermarket fog lights mounted in the OEM slots and my latest mod- LED city lights:
http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e341/Doohickie/Picture015a.jpg

And my latest mods (Nov. 16)- I cleared the front turn signals:

And just as I was finishing that up... ding-dong! My GonzoSport Removable Rear Strut Bar was delivered!

And Nov. 18- tried out some LED lights for the backlit grill:
