Hey guys, just thought I'd give you a look at my car.
It's a 2003 Ebony Black Elantra GL 1.8L 5 speed manual.  The engine cover looked a bit boring, so I thought I'd pretty it up.  Recently replaced Hyundai crooked 'H' badges with Elantra XD Badges  I wanted the car to look different, so my brother painted a Von Franco Tiki on the bonnet.   This is the stereo setup I used to have. It consisted of a Sony XAV-77 motorised 7 inch monitor and Sony DVX11A DVD player. I recently sold it.  I replaced the factory 15 inch alloys with 17 inch Speedy Holotype R's fitted with 215/40/17 Sava Intenzas. The car in the background is my brother's Hyundai Getz. Before  After  Recently I've fitted a Venom volt gauge in the dash above the glovebox. I plan on fitting more, I just have to work out what gauges I want.   That's about it for now, let me know what you think. Brad This post has been edited by Black2k3: Dec 25 2005, 06:19 AM -------------------- A proud member of the club.

I like it overall. Those hood graphics are definitely wild. Before I can rate it though, what exactly are your mods?

Before I can rate it though, what exactly are your mods?  elantragt - Mods so far: Engine - Replace air filter with pod filter, painted engine cover Interior - Removed standard Hyundai CD player, and replaced it with Sony XAV-77 motorised 7 inch monitor, Sony DVX11A DVD player, front speakers replaced with Kicker EX 60.2 splits, currently fitting 2 x DUB Mag Audio DUB 200 12 inch subs powered by a JBL GTO 601.1 monoblock amp, VENOM volt gauge fitted in dashboard above glovebox. Exterior - Factory 15 inch alloys replaced with 17 inch Speedy Holotype R's, removed 'Hyundai' 'Elantra' and 'GL' badges, Elantra XD badges in place of crooked 'H', kustom pinstriping on bonnet, Hyundai decals on bonnet. That's all so far, not many mods, but I'm slowly getting there. Next mods hopefully will be lowering, exhaust, bodykit. QUOTE (ricerrx7 @ Dec 26 2005, 03:52 AM) Have you ridden in an elantra with the 2.0? How much of a difference is there? ricerrx7 - One time I was getting the car serviced, and the dealership gave me an XD2 2.0 HVT to drive. I found it to be slightly slower and not as rev happy as mine, but then it was brand new. QUOTE (CyberGecco @ Dec 26 2005, 03:55 AM) Damn, those 15"s were STOCK?

I bought my car in June 2003, then the first of the XD2's came out in September 2003. I recently priced the engine cover for dad's Elantra (March 03 model, no engine cover), and was quoted $220 Brad -------------------- A proud member of the club.
