ZERO I.C.E. for now... so .. umm.. i know i get an F on that.. LOL.

ahh.. now i remember why i didn't take any mid range pics.. lol.. i'm constantly the victim of "Fly By Poopings"... dam pigeons.
Plus I feel odd standing in the middle of the street with a video camera. lolol.

the shift knob now sits ALOT shorter now that i removed the insides.. ..lol.. now its a push down knob.

Ed that's a very fine list. A couple things keep it from perfection... the lack of ICE and the minimal handling upgrades. On the other hand, some nicely balanced performance mods and some exceptional appearance mods really boost your score.

My final verdict?

A solid 9.5 A great GT.

Very nice, I think that hood deflector not only adds a useful, protective touch, but really improves the front end appearance. I will give your car a 9.5 also and here is how it is broken down:

Starting point: 10.00
less inability to stand in street with video camera (- 1 point)
plus bedroom window shot (+ .5 )
Final Verdict: 9.50

I think all the small touches is really what sets your car apart from any other. Anybody can go out and throw a set of rims on a car, and say (how do you like my modded car?)
But I think the small details are just as good if not better than throwing on a bodykit or a set of rims. . . . so Great Job.

BTW your signature gets a 10

Cool rig, and well appointed. That's a lot more than I'd manage.

You're right about the deflector Cite; the unibrow just makes your Elantra look even meaner than before

I rate it a 9; even the coloured wiper blades (that normally would look rice) fit with your car's overall scheme... Keep it up

Kickass car there.

I'd say it gets at least a 9.0. More to around a 9.3 though.

WhoOOO HOOO !!

I"m a happy camper.

cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesin !

so.. i need some I>C>E> and some suspension...

got all 2006... LOL... get some bill collectors to stop calling me.. i'll be on my way..

Thanks for your words and opinions... now i can tell me wife i'm NOT the only person in the world who thinks its all good.

It is a nice list and the car looks bad ass but it is automatic. It would be alot better if is was stickshift.

yeah i know..lol..

i know i know i know.. LOLOL.. bought it with my wifey.. she refuses to learn how to drive manual.

so.. its a compromise that had to be done.. LOLOL.

Thanks though !>. lol..

Woot! I got the same shifter except it's all silver color lol, didn't like the big honking shifter Hyundai put on. The bug deflector looks good with the black rear spoiler and the front lip. I like it!

That hood deflector is seeeeeeeeeeeexy

-shawn

Yes it is!

Lookin' good Cite!

I'm gonna give you an 8.5 overall.

(Mostly because you used to gave the GTR badge. )

ROFLMFAO.. yeah the hood deflector is nice.. just dont think it would make it in the erotic toy business. not THAT sexy.

that GTR badge is gonna haunt me forever huh? it was just a joke..

i thought it would be funny to be see what ricers thought about it.
or unsuspecting cars who would rev on a'silly ricer' and be surprised

Very nice i give it 9.6. So what's next

And you plead poverty all the time. RIGHT!!!!!!! lol

Very Very nice.

You have done a great job and blended nicely.


I LOVE IT

this is WHY im' pleading poverty.. LOL.

yes, my priorities are mixed up..

you should see my shoes.. all Eff'ed up
my refrigerator is empty.

.. nevermind.. thats another thread altogether.. lolol.
thanks tho ! makes me happy to hear such good things !

Very nice.

Where did you buy those gauges from?

good job meng!

-shawn

Cite, I really like what your doing with it. Im not big on the shifter. thats a little much for me for an auto but hey its your ride! It looks very nice with the hood deflector and the decals really set it off!! I would rave about it more but i got a bratty 4 year old acting like she needs some daddy disipline!

dude thats really nice, how do you have it so shiney i still remember seeing how dirty it was oo there's a pic of my stock spoiler painted black haha

Cite, great ride! I have to give you a perfect 10. Why? Its clear you have spent a load of time taking care of/improving your ride- sure some suspension upgrades would be nice, as well as a manual tranny, but in the end, you made your car stand apart from everything on the road, and that what its about!

bought my GIJOE Cobra Logo sticker today.. lol $4..

http://www.azgrafix.com/catalog/index.php?...7724da19cd0d9f6

decided against the punisher logo because i dont think skulls on my car is a good sign..

and felix the cat would be a little... i just dont think everyone would understand it..

and transformers has been OVER done. lol.

so... Cobra Commander drives a hyundai elantra? not a mustang ? HELL YEAH.

now i just gotta figure out where i want to put it..

its a 6x6" black vinyl decal.. gas cap door?

fire wall?

put it on the hood right above the grille dead center!

i have a hood deflector there.. LOL i was thinking about on the hood.. but yeah..

<:*( deflector would make that look kinda funny.

right now i'm thinking i'm going for the fire wall.

or you could put it where the GT badge goes! and make it the Cobra Edition elantra!

ROFLMFAO.. i can see the flames coming from the 'other brand' crowds..


i'd do it just to spite them.. Yes sir, i drive an elantra Cobra GT.. you didn't know? 3.8 V6 Super charged.

It would have to be "Super-Duper Charged".

the super-duperest!
not only that, but i hear he's working on a supercharged triple twincharger setup
okay, ill stop now

well got my yellow kingsborne 8mm wires today, and the silblades came in the other day...

i wonder where the hell my cobra sticker is? <:*(

installed them, i dont really feel a difference, other than from the ECU reset, which almost always feels better.....but looks nice.

here's a "midrange" pic of my car from BikerPA Adam's camera..

you can't really see it at all, but on the steering wheel, thats a tuscani badge.... lol.. WHICH I plan on replacing with the silver crooked H.

Looks good, but why take the badge off????

Very nice. I myself would be on the border between going crooked-H or Tuscani.

the tuscani badge doesn't look right to me...

i'd much rather prefer the H... or at least an elantraclub badge.. LOL

why would he keep the tuscani badge? thats what the tiburon is tagged as in korea. he doesnt have a tiburon.

i find it somewhat dumb that people put tuscani badges all over their tibs here, but i guess its a little bit more acceptable since its the same vehicle.

tuscani badges on an XD = rice

it'd be like slapping on a type R sticker on a honda civic

does anybody with aftermarket steeringwheels wanna sell me their silver crooked H?
