GREEN = Newest Mod

[hyunelan2]

The GT door panels turned out good. DAMNIT, now I want leather!

[BlueGT]

Hey, James! The car looks nice!
But this, my friend, needs to be cleaned! ;)
http://members.cox.net/jdcullen/Digital%20Pics/Car%20Stuff/Strut%20Bar3.JPG

[SuperGLS]

You saw it in person, it was dirty and beautiful, hahaha. New pics with SR Intake are up. More mods coming... always.

[Luckydvl]

how about a full view shot of the car, and looks cool

[XTRAWLD]

I like the light colored dash - you have nice white where I have a darker grey color......it looks so...plush. I'm used to the GT panels - nah nah.

[SuperGLS]

NEW PICS. Well, here are some brand new pics of my car. You can see some definite changes. First off, no more EGR/Astrel kit. Second, 35% tint all around (just happened yesterday). It's not as dark as I thought it was going to be, but I didn't want to have any trouble with the cops so this is good. Legal here in VA is 50% in the front and 35% everywhere else. I like the look a lot.

So... why no more kit? Well, to tell everyone the truth, I don't think I'm responsible enough to own one, haha. I kept scraping it on curbs. About a month of so ago I scraped it for the last time, a nice big scrape on the front so I decided to take it off instead of being a ricer, haha. Another reason is that the back piece was cracked a little bit (I think someone tried to steal it by trying to rip it off because I never hit or scraped the back). I'll put up a for sale post a little later.

http://members.cox.net/jdcullen/Digital%20Pics/Car%20Stuff/Clean0012.JPG

Well, you can see here the residue left behind from when I took off the kit. I used some silicone glue stuff when I put it on that came with the kit. Nothing I've tried can get that stuff off. It's pissing me off at this point, ha.

Thoughts? (Tell me to lower it so I can give in to peer pressure).

[Luckydvl]

dibs on the kit if you sell it, how much and pics of the kit please to see the conditions

[SWortham]

^ Lower it. ;)

It looks really good though. I like the way the lights look up front w/ the clear sidemarkers & fogs. And the tint is a nice touch. So you still haven't installed the spoiler, huh?

[2XDreme]

Hey super - yours looks as bad as mine - lower it :D

[Jlivan]

love the chrome headlights!! I will have 2 put that on my x-mas list :) I also love the Leather interior, u did a great job!

I had 20% tint on my last car, no trouble w/the cops. I am not sure what the legal % is, it might be 35% too. I wonder if any one in Florida knows the legal %? I know one company would not do 20% so i had to go 2 another.

[04 elantra cvvt]

Super, use a product by 3-M called Wood Grain and Stripe Remover. 3-M part nubmer 08908. This stuff gets off the nasty residue left by that fake woodgrain crap they used to put on cars in the 80's. It works!

[03SilverBullet]

Looks clean,gotta love the Korean OEM headlights.

[jcr557]

nice ride

[SuperGLS]

Thanks, and just to let the curious people know, I got the crap left over from the kit off. I just let it weather itself a little bit then sat down with my fingernail and peeled it off with the help of some goo-gone and the like.

[Luckydvl]

did u ever sell the kit

[SuperGLS]

Yep. It has been sold and shipped out for over a week and a half now.

[hyunelan2]

You ever gonna put your spoiler on? It's not that hard.

[slvrsleeper]

Sleepers kick ***! (speaks in voice of Cartman) Now go forth and lower that mother!

[hyunelan2]

Sleepers kick ***! (speaks in voice of Cartman) Now go forth and lower that mother!

He kept hitting things with a kit on (read above) I don't think lowing it is a good idea for him.

You gonna put the mud/stone gaurds back on? It looks kinda plain around the wheels.

[SuperGLS]

You ever gonna put your spoiler on? It's not that hard.

Somebody promised me a detailed DIY... I don't know who that would have been... hahaha. So?

About hitting the kit on things, yeah, it's true. But I think it would be different just having it lowered (as I'd probably be going with Eibach).

[SWortham]

But I think it would be different just having it lowered (as I'd probably be going with Eibach).

Yeah, you don't really have to change your driving style much at all with the Eibach's... just slow down a little more over speed bumps, stuff like that. It's easy to live with.

[mbv2001]

Hey super how do u have ur fogs wired?

[ilanpro]

You know James now that your car is almost stock you should change your user name to Just GLS :poke: plus your driving lights :smileyr:
:D :D :D JFWY :D

[SuperGLS]

Hahahhaa, you're lucky I like you Ilan, haha. Almost stock? I suppose I need to get some nitrous switches without the nitrous... hahaha, jfwy. Now stay on topic.

My fogs will be wired up just like in the DIY in the DIY section (link right by the Archive link).

More new pics. I even washed the car before I took these pics.

[pancit]

wow ur car is damn clean. those gauges fit so well with the interior, unbelievable. i want my car to look like that once i get over my ricersickness:D

[SWortham]

That carbon fiber on the trunk looks nice. It would be a good finishing touch if you could install your OEM high spoiler with carbon fiber trim on the back side of it. That'll give it a sporty look and tie the theme together.... if Compact Divisions is up to it. ;)

[SuperGLS]

Quick video of me reving the engine to show how the torque gauge works on the Multiguage.

I'll get some better videos of me actually driving when I can find someone to come with me and shoot the video so I don't kill myself. Theres no sound, sorry.

Click Here (www.elantraxd.com/DIY/torque.avi)

[Keyan]

Very cool, super :)

[Jlivan]

Videos sound cool. I really love the interior. So what is next on your list?

[Nyck]

the black mats help do justice for the interior...but there is still so much brown...fix the brown! :-P

[SuperGLS]

Videos sound cool. I really love the interior. So what is next on your list?

I don't know, hopefully making everything match. Other than that, nothing. Video games own me during this part of the year.

the black mats help do justice for the interior...but there is still so much brown...fix the brown! :-P

I'm working on it, well at least I'm trying to buy the gray pieces from people, so someone sell me the pieces. I suppose I'll call up AHI when I get some money (after x-mas) and see which pieces I can get.

[hyunelan2]

How about you put that spoiler on... the one that's been sitting in your laundry room for... how long is it now? haha. jfwy.

[SuperGLS]

How about you put that spoiler on... the one that's been sitting in your laundry room for... how long is it now? haha. jfwy.

Haha, it'll never end, huh? Well, I might get around to that... I might even wire up my fog lights this coming week (then I won't be a ricer which is kinda sad, hah).

Actually, the problem I have with the spoiler install now is that my tint on the back window doesn't cover the third break light, so when I have the spoiler on and the third brake light out part of the window will be untinted... thoughts?

[ilanpro]

leave it and unplug it

[hyunelan2]

^^^ Ditto that. No-one will ever notice the third brakelight in the window if it doesn't light up.

[CTele02]

Remove to reduce weight and gain at least 25 hp! But looking at your chrome door handles (inside) I'd want those too, just wondering if one would be able to find the plastic screw covers at any hardware store?

[TNT4ME]

Where's the XD stickers to represent the site? (LOL)
Also, there is CF trunk garnish in your Sig. Not on the car anymore?
(1st in line to buy it if you want to sell that)


Car looks clean and nice...

[SuperGLS]

^^^ Ditto that. No-one will ever notice the third brakelight in the window if it doesn't light up.

Yeah, but I'll notice it. Hmm... I was thinking I could somehow mess up the tint, then when I take it back to have them redo it (free for life), I could just have removed the third brake light, then the tint would be good and I could install the spoiler... that's kinda messed up though, haha.

About the CF license plate cover thing, it's still on the car (just don't look at the old pics).

[KeWLKaT]

Where did you get that Elantra XD logo on the trunk lid ? :P

[jeffv1970]

Which body kit did you have? trying to find pics of different kits. The evo kit is so-so in my book.

[SuperGLS]

I had the EGR/Astrel Kit. Check out the "All Available Bodykits" thread for lots of pics.

So, for a graduation present the guys at work got together and bought me a remote starter (with install). I got it installed today, it's the cheapest one available I think, the Viper 130, and so far it's working great. In order for them to get keyless entry to work with it they are ordering a drivers side door actuator (NOTE - I do NOT have the factory keyless entry or alarm). So I should be able to get that installed next week.

I can't wait to use it when it's 25 degrees tomorrow morning.

One thing I'm not a big fan of is the small 5" antenna that it uses. The antenna isn't bad itself, but they mounted it on the upper drivers side part of the windshield (wiring run nicely behind the A pillar). I was wondering if I might be able to mount it where it's concealed. Does anyone think that would hinder it's reception very much?

[SWortham]

Sweet, remote start will be nice.

[CTele02]

Probably not, i mean if you hid it behind the plastic covers... My viper alarm works from inside my house, so I'm sure itll receive it as long as youre in the area, don't wanna start your car a parking lot a way.... someone might notice and take advantage of your defenseless elantra...

[KeWLKaT]

someone might notice and take advantage of your defenseless elantra...

That is a thing which always scares me when using the remote starter...

[SuperGLS]

Well, it wouldn't be that easy to steal. And like Ctele said, it's not like I'd be starting it from a long distance away.

To steal it when it's started you'd need to:

Unlock the doors somehow.
Insert the key into the ignition and turn to the ON position.
Press on the brake.
And then go.

Chances are nobody is going to be able to get in, let alone have my key. If you press the brake before you insert the key then the car shuts off. Also, I can use the key FOB to turn off the car if I saw anyone trying to break in.

[KeWLKaT]

Wow. You just reassured me big time :D

[SuperGLS]

Ok, here are the pics of the chrome tweeter surrounds. I just took these in the dark guessing where to aim the camera, hah. And one picture of the Remote Start antenna.

I REALLY need to get rid of that tan crap in my car... uh.

[jjos1]

looking good :D

[KeWLKaT]

I mounted my antennas (theres 2) on each side of my rear view mirror, where people usually put them. Maybe you could do that too :D

[SuperGLS]

I just installed the KDM Three-Way windshlied washer nozzles. The DIY is up in the DIY section, you know how I do. Basically, it's a mod that isn't really needed at all, but hey, Dreamka4u hooked me up nicely, so what can I do except give them a shout out. Dreamka4u OWNS.

Here is a movie:

http://www.elantraxd.com/images/nozzles.avi

[Keyan]

Yupyup, the 05s come stock with the 3-ways. They are definatly sweet :D

[mrhoaf]

I've been thinking about getting a set... looks like they work pretty well.....

[SuperGLS]

I haven't done any driving yet, but you are right, they seemed to work perfect, without any lose in pressure or anything. I hardly use them anyway, but I'll update when I do.

UPDATE - the washers seem to work great, better than before in fact. I always thought the wipers got to the fluid too quickly to be most effective. This mod, although it doesn't slow down the wipers, it allows the fluid to be more spread out.

Also, new clear door markers installed. Just put the DIY up in the DIY section (not forum).

http://www.elantraxd.com/DIY/doormarker0008.JPG

http://www.elantraxd.com/DIY/doormarker0009.JPG

Just more mods, like always.

[GTSTISL]

the clear door markers look awesome against your white car. very clean!

I can honestly say, that of all the things we could have used a video for, this is not high on the list, lol.

It was nice to see them though. I think I'm going to get a set of those for the Santa Fe (Since my XD has chrome ones, and I like it that way).

[KeWLKaT]

Dayem. I'm getting those :D

[Biff]

I really like those gauges above the CD player. I ahve been thinking about getting them; are they hard to install?

[SuperGLS]

Mike, what other videos do you want? (I still owe everyone some Multigauge ones, but you have one, so you don't really need a video of it). You are just mad at my camera man skills, haha.

I really like those gauges above the CD player. I ahve been thinking about getting them; are they hard to install?

To tell you the truth, yep. Well, the install was hard the first time, but I could do it again fairly easily (like most things in life). There is a great DIY that Sammy/Leviathant/Hyunelan2/04Elantra and I put together in the DIY section:

http://www.elantraxd.com/DIY/multigauge.php

If you have some patience and some basic wiring abilities you'll be good to go.

[Keyan]

How's the remote starter working for you, Super?

Do you recommend it? And grips/problems? I'm thinkin' about gettin one (just like everyone else :))

[SuperGLS]

It's working great. The keyless entry had been acting funny, meaning the drivers door solenoid (or whatever it is) wasn't pulling the lock all the way unlocked. When I had my door panel off I simply tightened some screws and now it's back working well.

However, I've have noticed that if you leave the car running more than 3 minutes every day while it heats up that the gas mileage suffers noticibly. Meaning, I went from 360 lifetime MPTank average to 280 in two tanks. That was when it was really cold outside and I was running it for probably 5-6 minutes. Now I'm just keeping it under 3 and it seems to be ok.

[hyunelan2]

Super: Here's a quick 'at-night' multigauge video I did while messing around with my wife's camera the other night (I like my Cannon better, but her Kodak does videos). It's short, I was just playing with her camera really, but here it is;

http://www.nitrousworld.com/pictures/100_0665.MOV

[04GTboySC]

you really have a nice car super im gona watch the video when i get home

[Jlivan]

Nice video! Love the sound of the Elantra.
Speaking of Cannons, I just bought a Cannon Digital Camera a couple of weeks ago. I love it.

[SuperGLS]

Has hell frozen over? Maybe. New pics:

http://www.elantraxd.com/images/spoiler0003.JPG

http://www.elantraxd.com/images/spoiler0004.JPG

I finally installed it with my Dad. I always make him help when I think I'm going to mess something up, since he is less concerned about the car than I am, he doesn't hesitate to just do it. The fit isn't totally perfect in a one or two spots but overall it's good.

I'll take better pics next time I wash the car.

[Keyan]

Looks sweeeeeeeeeeeeet

[KeWLKaT]

ewww pinstripe

nice spoiler- finally.

[jcr557]

nice and finally, haha :) :D

[elantra05]

You need some rims bad...and a drop....!!!!

[SuperGLS]

Thanks for the comments. Am I the only one that likes the pinstripe? Some color combos are bad, but I like the black pinstripe on white.

You need some rims bad...and a drop....!!!!

I have some Spec-V wheels that I need to make fit (hopefully within the next couple weeks). As for a drop... I know, I know.

[elantra05]

It needs to be lowered...and it needs rims!!!!!

[GTSTISL]

take those pinstripes off. the spoiler looks real good though.

[mrhoaf]

Thanks for the comments. Am I the only one that likes the pinstripe? Some color combos are bad, but I like the black pinstripe on white.


I like your pinstripes.... and I like the ones on my car too....

:smiley_ac



The SE-R wheels will look sweet on your car....

[SuperGLS]

I think I've found a place to make the wheels work. Now I just have to find some time to get over there.

Also, I just updated the first post to include pretty much every picture I've ever taken of my car (minus some shots of missing dash fascias and door panels and such).

[04GTboySC]

pretty hot car super cant wait till i see the spoiler in person

[SuperGLS]

The tint place wants $110 to remove the rear window tint and put new tint on. Damn, what the hell?

What should I do? Since I've put the spoiler on and removed the standard third brake light it looks stupid with a missing patch of tint.

[Keyan]

Just have a peice of tint cut to fill the hole.
lot cheaper.

[SuperGLS]

Washed the car and took some pics.

I'm sure you have been asked this by about seventy people already but I don't care. How is the radio reception with the ARK antenna? I keep thinking about getting one but with my long *** commute I need good radio reception badly!

[Keyan]

Reminds me of my 01 :(

[SuperGLS]

If you use the radio more than sparingly, the radio reception could be a concern. Some stations still work perfect, and others don't. It also depends where I'm at.

Reminds me of my 01 :(

Except 1083 times cooler, haha, kidding.

Some new pics depicting my new taillights. Tinted with Niteshades, off of eBay, $51 shipped (BONUS!). They have some imperfections you can see up close, I'm thinking about sanding them perhaps, not quite sure. Ideas?

Also, they are pretty dark during the day time, I'm waiting for someone to run into me, although the third brake light on the spoiler is pretty bright.

Very hot :)

[korai9989]

I really like those black-outs.

Where did you get your leather conversion?

[SuperGLS]

I got my leather seats and center console from LKQ (on eBay) and then I got the doors from AHI.

[03SilverBullet]

I posted this link in the marketplace section under ebay findings, it was a good deal I thought but I wanted to see how they look at night with the stop lights and blinkers on, can you post night pics.

Haha here is the link to them.

Dear James,

You're a loser, but I like the car.

Sean

EDIT- I edited Sean's loser grammar for him. - Super.

[SuperGLS]

Preview pics of my grill from Carbonman. High quality stuff. All I need to do is sand and paint now (the whites don't match, or knowing my lazy self I might just leave it, haha).

Nice, Black out the mesh. I bet the fogs are just for show. lol

[alienman]

Did you ever get the spec-v rims on yet...? i would like to see some pics of those on your car....

[korai9989]

i don't think you should black out your mesh, it looks so clean the way it is.

[03SilverBullet]

i don't think you should black out your mesh, it looks so clean the way it is.
Yeah werd, just leave it like that but your right the white doesnt match.

[SuperGLS]

Did you ever get the spec-v rims on yet...? i would like to see some pics of those on your car....

No, honestly I haven't found a machine shop that will enlarge the hub space on the wheels for me. Also, because I haven't had much money, I haven't continued to look. Hopefully I can do something with the small amount of money I should get from doing my taxes. I do have some pics with them on though, but not good ones. I may post them.

As for the grill, I took it back off and I'm waiting for some paint to arrive to me. Hopefully if the weather is nice this week I'll be able to paint it and put it back on. Exciting stuff.

[stevo]

Those were my tail lights. sorry for the imprefection. i am not very good in painting. i did the first tail light my self and messed up so i gave the other one to my friend to do.

[SuperGLS]

That's ok, don't worry about it, they were cheap!

I got my paint from Paintscratch but it's too cold for me to be painting anything, so, I'll wait for the weather to warm up before I get my grill done.

[mushroom]

very nice car SuperGLS :thumbsup:

[Vampyrate]

so, super, what are the list of the super exterior package again? and how much would it cost for everything? lol jfwy!

[hyunelan2]

Looking good James. Ya know, I'm not usually one to suggest this sort of thing, but I think your car is one of the few that would look good with *gasp* - white rims. Everything on the car is either white or black (no more red tails), so white rims and black rubber would proabably look good. I'll Photochop one to see if I can make it look right.

Here's my chop:

[dngrous_dime]

Paint your wiper arms white, too.... Make sure to get the cap that covers the mounting bolt, you'd be surprised how much sweeter it looks like that.... If you're feeling REALLY energetic, remove your wiper cowl and paint that white, too... Makes the hood really flow to the windshield....

[vahyundai]

DAMN! that looks nice. how is it that i live in fairfax and am in centreville a lot and never see your car? lol.

[04GTboySC]

nice pictures james

[Vampyrate]

holy ish! i think i just may have to sneak over to his house and paint his rims for him lol

[SuperGLS]

Thanks guys. We already know the story on me being lazy and the wheels.

Second, I'm not big into painting the wiper arms, never looked right to me. But I appreciate the suggestions.

Mike, that's not a bad chop though.

[03SilverBullet]

IMO if you paint the wheels and wiper arms there is gonna be way to much white on that car.

[hyunelan2]

Leave the wipers alone. The car is black (look at all the trim around the windows) and white. So the wipers are black - they fit the scheme.

[SuperGLS]

Yesterday a friend and I did some "Spring cleaning."

I changed the front brake pads. It was easy and we didn't run into any problems (rusty bolts, difficult pistons, etc). We also put back on the stock mudguards that have been off since my lip kit days. We fixed a problem with my gauges (there was some wires touching each other and the fuel gauge one flickered on and off every now and then). And, we started painting my grill (from Carbonman).

I've decided that painting is no fun. Hopefully we'll finish up next week and I'll have pictures.

[ArunSenior04]

Didnt no you were mod friendly. LOL

[j0hnh0lmes]

you just get really bored sometimes don't you....still nice
"Good Stuff"
-SuperGls
LMAO!

[SuperGLS]

Today I sold the Sentra Spec-V wheels that I had that were never used. I also went up to a junkyard that Reece told me about and ripped out a gray dash and a bunch of the gray interior trim pieces I wanted ($100 total). It's going to be a while until I get around to that though.

We never finished painting the grill I have, but after seeing how the guy did such a good job with my mirrors I might have him do the grill too. We'll see.

Some of you might have already seen the pics in the other thread, but here are the pics of my new LED Turn signal mirrors.

There is also movies of the mirrors in this thread (http://www.elantraxd.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19181).

[04GTboySC]

they look awesome

[ilanpro]

What happen to the grille?

[Jlivan]

The signal mirrors look hot!! Great mod Super!

[SuperGLS]

Today I got the lower interior trim pieces that I bought yesterday installed. Now it looks even more strange because the weather stripping is tan and everything else on the lower half the of the car (except the carpet) is gray. From what I understand some of the XDs have black weather stripping?

What happen to the grille?

I never finished painting it because as we all know I'm a lazy modder. I think I may have the guy that painted the mirrors do the grill at some point and then I'll put it on.

Thanks for the comments Scott and Lisa.

[Onelove5683]

if i knew u have sentra wheels i woulda bought them

[SuperGLS]

That's what you get for staying away from the boards for so long at one time, ha. I think I tried to sell them once on here with no response.

[SuperGLS]

Update.

I recently upgraded to the GT leather wrapped shift knob and chrome button (from the Santa Fe). I also picked up some more gray trim pieces (sides of the dash, covers that go over the front seat bolts).

Also I got the all black weatherstripping for the front doors. Does anyone think it would be a big deal to cut the weather stripping? I am thinking I'd like to keep the tan weather stripping up top and use the black weatherstripping for the bottom half the the car (to keep with my two tone interior project). Do you think that could lead to a water leaks and potentially rust?

[05xd]

I love them mirrors man.Good work

[Fox]

Too clean to be a xd, nice work!

[SuperGLS]

Update. Last Fall I got a gray rear deck and earlier this year I got the gray speaker covers.

Finally installed them a couple weeks ago. Now all I really need to do is change out the front dash.

[jalmir]

nice! :)

Your still a huge pile of gay.

hahahaha sig worthy!

[SuperGLS]

HUGE. Yes.

I have an idea, you can wire up my fog lights to my multiswitch and I'll make you a mod?

[Vampyrate]

deal.

[yamaha]

HUGE. Yes.

I have an idea, you can wire up my fog lights to my multiswitch and I'll make you a mod?

Is that some strange sexual connotation, or did you want me to wire up your fog lights?
