Yes tint, that's getting done too. Once it warms up a bit. Forgot about that.

And yeah, I like the grilles and fogs with the blank mesh. It looks much better than the crappy looking plastic grill and fog surrounds that come from the factory...and the 2013 front end is awful looking imo.

I know what you mean about the 2013's - they are already messing up a great looking car...

get the tint soon, cause once it gets warm ur gonna wanna put the windows down !

I was looking into getting the 3.8 r-spec, how do you like your genesis coupe?

Well I am not going to proclaim that its the best car on earth, because obviously thats wrong. For the money, I think its an awesome car. When I got my car I was between a wrx, genesis coupe and mustang gt.

Mustang GT was faster but the interior was garbage for the price, and didn't even have a bluetooth option on the base gt, which was necessary for me.

I did like wrx as well, but the gas mileage and premium fuel was a turnoff(even though I have a premium fuel tune on my GC now lol).

The genesis coupe was great to me for the price point...28k. I got the track model which is the top of the line. Only other thing I could have got was automatic transmission.

I really enjoy the way the car drives and the fact that it was something different. The styling of genesis coupe is great, and I get looks and compliments everyday.

I am very happy with my choice, but I think the WRX would have been a good choice as well. There is starting to be a lot more aftermarket support for the genesis coupe, which is great. Turbokits.com is coming out with a single turbo kit for the 3.8 gc's with manual trans.

To be honest, with just a ecu reflash, catback and intake, I am thoroughly enjoying my car now.

The r spec is the same as the track as far as suspension, wheels, lsd, etc... the interior is the only the that is different. When I bought mine there were like 2 3.8 rspecs in the whole area and they weren't budging on price at all. I wound up getting the track for just a little bit more and getting the sunroof, navigation, cruise control, etc...

Good luck, and if you have any questions about the genesis coupe let me know. Check out gencoupe.com too. Lots of awesome info on there.

Mmmmm...TSW Nurburgring wheels. Sex if you ask me.

[caldwell]

nice list !

I was debating between the genny coupe and my gti this time last year but I ended up going with the gti. Every time I see a blue 2.0t coupe I kind of wish I got one. I just wasn't that thrilled with the interior and stock performance and didn't want to get the 3.8.

anyways, cool build can't wait to see it on the wheels and coils. you'll be very happy with the stance's!

[jzamorski113]

Finally got the wheels on last night: Some preliminary pictures in crappy light with my cell phone...







Now just waiting on the coils to arrive so don't have the 4x4 look

[HatchSurfer3]

Its about time you got them! They look great on there. Can't wait to check it out on Friday

[Erik@R/TTuning]

Very nice. Sorry I wasn't here when you stopped in to have them mounted. They do look great! I'll give you a ring later today to catch up.

Wheels look good. Make sure you make an appointment with Pat after you get the coil overs on.

nurburgrings look good on just about anything

Yep I'll be back once I get the coils. Still don't have any tracking info yet, but once I get that I will make an appointment.



And yeah Caldwell, I was a little hesitant at first because I wanted Vossen's, but these have the same Y pattern and look so much better in person than they do in any pictures online.

I drove my car the 4 blocks to work today(its my gf's birthday and I have to hide her gifts in my car or she'll find them in the apartment). I will snap some pictures when I get a chance to roam the parking lot

Best wheels I have seen on a Genesis.

[jzamorski113]

Good news: Coilovers are here. Will have those and a short shifter put on Thursday.

Bad news: Steering wheel has been vibrating at 40 plus mph. I've only driven it 10 miles since I drove it home the first time after getting the new wheels/tires on. Around west chester I didn't hit 40 so I didn't notice, but once I did on Thursday I wasn't happy. Lug nuts were tight, so I was able to take it to a tire shop today. Apparently the weights that were used for balancing were incorrect. Rear weights were completely thrown off. Front tires were hopping on the balance machine, so they will need to be replaced. Still need to figure all that out tomorrow to try and straighten things out.

Gen looks great.

[Shipman]

I really like them, I think you should ditch the wing

[jzamorski113]

Installed the Stance coilovers, System Upgrade Short Throw Shifter and the SFR Rigid Collar Kit.

Washed my car today and took some pictures:
