Wow! that's an amazing looking J2! You've looked after it very well to be in such good condition after all those miles! The Dynamat would have been a tiring job, but well done!

Thanks, costs were kept down by doing a lot of the labor myself and really searching online for the best deals. The leather kit is a $1500 option that someone ordered fron Kansas City Customs then never picked up. I got it for $100 + shipping and they were happy to free up space in their wherehouse.

After a couple years of looking for the right replacement wheels, I settled on refmanufactured 2009 Kia Spectra Sport package wheels. They're 16x6 with an offset of 43. One of the benefits of using a Kia product is that Hyundai used the same mold to make the Kia Spectra center caps as they did to make the Elantra caps. So, I bought a set of Elantra caps and they popped right into place. Also just passed 245,000 miles.

Thanks guys. For now this is pretty much it. I’m going to keep it status quo for awhile. Eventually I wouldn’t mind adding fully adjustable shocks, a body kit and having it re-sprayed. Maybe implant a 2.0T from a genesis…….
For now though, I like it the way it is. At a quarter of a million miles I plan on having it professionally detailed. -------------------- A proud member of the club.
