Ok, so here's what my car looks like now:

And this is what I want it to look like, with the exception of the Hyundai symbol on the hood (I want a CF hood):

So what are everyone's thoughts? And for anyone that knows anything about rims, can you give me some direction as to what kind they are, etc.?
Thanks! :D

They look like Rota SDRs. And I think those are gunmetal.

* this isnt gunmetallic color, BTW.

good luck!

Becki, I didn't know you wanted racing seats.

wrx_snobordr · 06-14-2005, 07:49 PM

I like it, I would suggest a rim with a lip, but other than that I like it. I like the no wing look, keeps it looking sleeper.

that should be an easy transformation.

just drop it, find some rims you like, get some tint, and remove the wing

seriously, a lowering kit of some form does wonders for almost every car visually and performance. IMO it should be first after your standard intake/exhaust.

I was lowered within a month of having my car, even before intake and exhaust.

Other than racing seats, lowered and new wheels, whats the difference?

Screw that cosmetic bsm get some hp parts on that car and then worry about cosmetic crap.
To me any car that has all that body kit crap, racing seats and no hp parts are just as rice as any fart-canned honda.

I don't like those rims on a red car....I like white though CF hood OEM? Or the ones with vents on it?

Heres the back

......So basically you are just removing the wing, lowering it and putting wheels on it.....

More or less, yes...with the possibility of a CF hood as well. Naturally, intake/exhaust come before anything but I just kinda wanted to get an idea of what I want the body to look like. I wish I liked the stock rims I have on there now so I could save myself a lot of $$$ and just have them powdercoated, but that's not the case. So it'll be a loooong time before my tibby will ever be this sexy.

Ahhh...the Tiburon- my old love. I owned 2 of them before I got my STi. I really like the new body style- especially the 05 front fascia.

It's ashame though- your going to need 19"s or 20"'s to fill your wheel wells. My old 99 Tiburon FX filled out at only 17"s.

Btw, the rims in the pics you posted are at least 19's.

Here she is before I retired her in 03:
