2005 Hyundai Elantra GLS
Automatic
2nd owner
Bought at 40k miles in October of 2009
Currently at 90.7K miles

Current mods:
Clear corner headlights with chrome bulbs.
Clear sidemarkers.
Clear doormarkers.
Flat black grille.
Tint 55% sides 35% rear (Legal limit in VA, but thinking of redoing it and going darker.)
Debadged.
Redoing third brake light mod in a different fashion soon
NGK wires/Iridium Plugs
Shorty antenna.
19.2mm (Green Dot Tiburon Rear Sway Bar)with Moog endlinks.

Currently on the way:
Waiting for the shop to call me about scheduling a day to fix hail damage. ):

Next on the list (unspecific order):
OEM Fogs (asap)
Coilovers by (hopefully) the end of May.
SRI
LED switchover.
Red LED gauge cluster.
HID conversion.
E-brake/Auto shifter mod.
Rear disc swap.
Lowering springs.
Motegi rims.
Taillight blackout mod.
Rear Window spoiler/Trunk spoiler.
Lip kit of some sort.
Black matte vinyl wrap? (Summer)

And before anyone says anything, I know I need rims. Pretty badly. But considering I am attending my third college, I will continue to be a broke college kid and those plus a paint job will have to wait. Until I get a job while at college, there isn't much I can do but cheap mods (Thus just flat blacking the steelies and hubs).

Thanks guys! I try to keep it minimal at this point, only because if I start something big I'd like to be able to finish it around the same time. Coilovers, OEM fogs, and rims should be next, considering the guy who was going to fix my hail damage isn't available for a while.

Meaning I'll also probably have the damage at the Pittsburgh meet this June.
Here's a photo I was able to get of some of it on the hood.


And then here's just some shots of the rear. Taillights are being blacked out soon, just waiting on someone *cough* hyundave *couch* to not be so busy to send me some load equalizers so I can pop some LEDs in there. I'm not in a rush to do it, though. (:



And then just some miscellaneous shots.



I can't wait for it to get low! (: Just like the shorty, lowering is necessary. I see it now.
