Ok,

So Im not patient, But I do want some accessories for my 2011 Elantra GLS and there is nothing available domestically other than Mud Guards.

Every car Ive ever owned has gotten Vent visors and wind deflectors and mud flaps/ guards. I already got the best price on mud guards from Hyundaiaccessories.com and installed them as well as chrome door edge guards that Advanced Auto had.

Tinkering around on Ebay I found there are alot of accessories available, since chrome goes well on my car I ordered Chrome Vent Visors at less than half price that I would expect to pay domestically, Chrome door handles, chrome window sill kits as well as c- pillar chrome. There were alot of other goodies available like billet grill kits, Emblem mods, spoilers, stainless steel mufflers, trunk and hood garnish, bonnets, headlamp and tailight garnish, Pillar sets etc etc.

Just do a search on Ebay for Hyundai Elantra 2011 in motors and accessories for category and you will get the idea. But alot of these sellers are over seas.

Ordered 4 Items from a South Korea seller. They had a good rating. I will let you know in further posts how it goes and send some pics of items installed.

Just be careful that if you order It is not for a 2011 Touring Elantra. Unless of course you own one. Also in other parts of the world the 2011 Elantra may be referred to as an 2011 Hyundai Avante. Which is the same as the 2011 Elantra GLS North America.

So If you are impatient and cant wait.. You can at least peruse around, Ive already spent the money. Will let you know if it is really worth it... Or If you wait till the record breaking sales of the Elantra catches up to the peak demand on accessories you may pay alot more.

Stay tuned!

95% of stuff we get for Elantras comes from Korea, that's just the way it goes. There are a few Hyundai Aftermarket supplies with some type of shop/warehouse here in the US but not very many at all. We've been getting stuff from Korea for over 10 years. No big deal, we are happy to be able to get anything.

Also, the MD/UDs are still fairly new all things considered.

Can you post the links to the stuff you've purchased (or other similar ebay links)?

Thanks Super!, I was worried about ordering from South Korea and thought I may had been jumping the gun.

Here is the ebay store I ordered from:

They have tons of these accessories available overseas if you dont mind waiting. For the price I paid, I consider it a cheap thrill lol.

PS Everything came stamped Avante MD.

I figured out the photo thing anyway!

Cool, looks good.

Personally I think the B pillar chrome is too much.

You should look to get the Limited lower grill that is accented with chrome. I think that would look good with your new chrome accents.

Personally I think the B pillar chrome is too much.

Ya think so? Thats my favorite accent, It just sets it off somehow for me..

Smutheop

i think most of it looks good, just not digging the chrome running down the doors.
and thanx!

Ok,

Recieved all my orders nothing outstanding. Everything arrived safe, well packaged and ahead of anticipated delivery date from South Korea.

Shipments from overseas kinda reminds me that kissing on the first date, while appealing is only enhanced by waiting a little.

Buyers of Chrome product. Please be aware that Triple Plated ABS chrome means.. Plastic... Not real stainless steel chrome. Some of the ebayers disclose the fact that is ABS. But others do not. Both ABS and Stainless Steel have their drawbacks and advantages.

Still trying to find a bug deflector for a 2011 Elantra. Anyone got any ideas?

Cool, thanks for filling us in and giving some other 2011+ owners some suggestions.

Thanks Sky!!

Judging by your Avatar and the car you own.. You must have a PHD in MPG. I luv those Hyundai billboards on 95 in Providence. Hope to see you on the road... Price on the bug deflector is a little high.. Im gonna wait a little.

Thanks!

ps. Share some Pics!

Man I've found a bunch of good stuff on ebay tonight. Looks like most ship from Korea, but still, check out all the threads.

Interesting..

That's interesting. Like with a real bra, you'd probably have to be careful stuff didn't get underneath and be pretty vigilant about cleaning/washing underneath it as well.
