Looks good - intake, exhaust, suspension, transmission, wheels, in-dash LCD... that covers just about a bit of everything. Sounds like it's a bit quicker, nimbler and better-looking than before. Plus more fun to sit in, with the TV.

I say not bad.
Right now I say a solid 8. With the mods you have planned I say you should get to a 9. A rear spoiler and some interior appearance work should boost it to a 9.5 and better (non GLS) struts and lowering springs should bring it up to just about perfection. -------------------- 19 mm sway bar, easy intake mod with K&N filter, Pioneer DEH P4800MP, DC Strut Bar, Brushed Aluminum Dash Kit. |

I would also change your muffler tip if you want a higher score.
I give it 7.5/10. -------------------- Come mothers and fathers / Throughout the land And don't criticize / What you can't understand Your sons and your daughters / Are beyond your command Your old road is / Rapidly agin'.

the muffler tip looks a little weird, but the rest is clean.
hows the exhaust sound? i had something like that on my elantra and it wasnt to loud but you could hear it. EDIT- i think it would look ALOT better if you lower it a inch or so.... This post has been edited by Hyundai628: Jun 12 2007, 07:25 AM -------------------- A proud member of the club.

All in the eyes of the beholder.
Sorry dude but as of now i say 6. Then i'm more critical of Elantras than others here. And hence why i havnt bothered putting mine in here yet. Things i'd change: Muffler tip n tuck 16 or 17in rims (tires look too chubby there) Struts n springs Scrap the outriding DVD player for a fully In dash unit TINT!!!! -------------------- |

Im not a big fan of big rims i rather have some light weight 15" rims. struts and springs will be changed when those once die on me. i like this dvd so no one can see it becuase people steal sterios here and i dont feel like getting jacked. Tint is coming soon. all in all the car only has 10,000 km's on it and i have it less then a year and being 17 years old and having 2 other trucks to spend my money on i think im doing pretty well thanks; vlad -------------------- A proud member of the club.

And hence why i havnt bothered putting mine in here yet. SW brings up a good point. These ratings are all based on what each of us believes is a "perfect" Elantra. The best we can do is rate it on how we think it should be. Your expectations may very well differ from any of us. To you it may be a 9 (or 5 or whatever) based on what you ultimatly want it to be. To SW it's a 6. Ishtar and I think it's in the 7-8 range. Ultimatly we do mods to make ourself happy and not others. That's why I've never submited my car to be "rated" and probably never will. -------------------- 19 mm sway bar, easy intake mod with K&N filter, Pioneer DEH P4800MP, DC Strut Bar, Brushed Aluminum Dash Kit. |
