I don't know if I ever said it before but those rims are the shiznit! I love the way they look on our cars, what ever made you think of trying them on your car?

[playboyz28]

Well, I've always loved the Spec V, I actually wanted one, but the dealership wouldnt give me much for my Elantra :(

I liked the wheels on them and I tried with a customer's car one time (engine overhaul so the car sat for awhile) and it fit..looked great!

Jason

[watson80]

Yeah thats a super idea for the wheels...and I love the window LEDs!!!

[carbonman]

wheres the gauge pod Playboy ??
Looks great though :)

[HatchetMan]

nide ride. just curious, what does the VE stand for?

[SuperGLS]

In Canada there is the GL and the VE (and the GT). The GL is the base base base model, while the VE is like the American GLS.

[watson80]

cool...your representin the Canadian XDs proper....good job!

[playboyz28]

Thanks for the compliments guys!! I've read and thought about all the mods that are on Xd.com and picked the ones I really liked.

Carbon: Kinda sitting on that gauge pod. Not sure if I really want something poking near my head..:) I'm pretty tall..:) And kinda looking for some reverse blue gauges as well.

[playboyz28]

I love these gauges...:

But the bugger WILL NOT send to canada....punk ***..anyone wanna ship them here for me?..:)

BTW - whats the website for FAZE?

Jason

[XTRAWLD]

No tint on the front and 30% on the back is the first that caught my eye........what's the legal limit there?? - maybe you can make it a little more even. Gauges and LED's are nice!

[playboyz28]

Here in Saskatchewan, you cant have the front windows tinted whatsover. Some people do it tho. I wish I can, I would put a slight tint to it.

With the rears, you can go as dark as you want..hey you can paint over the windows if you want..grin..

[KDMdreamin]

man i love that elantra...when i first scrolled down i was like what the hell it looks a lot like a sentra, then read that you had specV rims...

keep it up nice and clean man.

[JacksonJ]

Why didn't you hide the block heater plug when you took the pics? Otherwise, Nice :thumbsup:

[playboyz28]

UPDATED PICS: HID shots and night time pics..:)

Last pic is between my friend's stock GT and mine, guess who is who..:)

Bright headlights indeed, looks great.

[AvanteXD-CDN]

That is one nice looking Elantra, would love to see it in person one day. When I pass through Regina I'll have to stop buy and look at this hot car.

[BlackElantraGT]

Damn those HID's are bright! That's an awesome looking car man. I dig those rims also, very original. Keep up the good work!

[playboyz28]

thanks for the compliments guys. And yes, those headlights are bright. I have to say that HIDs are the way of the future, way clearer, but in rain/sleet or fog, fog lights are still the best.

Yea, those are Nissan Sentra Spec V rims. I made my own centre caps too , with the hyundai logo in carbon fiber...very cool..:)

[Jlivan]

Love the interior lighting - Nice Elantra! Love the night pictures, might have to take me a few of my car ;)

[playboyz28]

Ilanpro: I was gonna try the Gude kit this year or next year but I helped my mom buy an 04 Accent, so I'm in the ditch for the next year at least.. :( But thats ok, she's really really happy with her car.. :)

MBV2001 : I used a inverted cone LED white bulb...it looks bluish sometimes..but I was tired of the hyperwhite ones turning into a yellowish color compared to my HIDs

By the way guys, I used a Canon S410 on manual setting with an ISO400...key word used here is TRIPOD :)

[ilanpro]

Good son I should adopt you to help me get a WRX :D

[playboyz28]

Hahahaha..well, if you can cook as well as my mom...sure!!.. :)

[AvanteXD-CDN]
