[Relax]

Mmmm, I love me some concave wheels.

[Geoff.T]

I really like what you're done with it so far. Keep it clean.

[Flavourless]

I was thinking "oh boy" when I clicked the thread lol but I really like what you have done with the car alot. Its super clean and I like it. You should check out Status.com for seats ;)

[Paul]

Well, this is new! Nice work.

[06tiburonofdoom]

Mmmm, I love me some concave wheels.

As do I! :eyebrows

I really like what you're done with it so far. Keep it clean.

Thanks, man! It'll only get cleaner. ;)

Haha, that's usually what people think. Hopefully I can change a few minds! :D
And thanks alot! I appreciate it. I'll have to check out that site. I just tried it but it didn't work... :(

[vdubkid]

Looks really good man. Really digging those wheels.

[06tiburonofdoom]

Well, this is new! Nice work.

Haha, there's more of that 'first reaction to seeing a clean, stanced Tiburon' response! ;)
Thanks a bunch!

[06tiburonofdoom]

Looks really good man. Really digging those wheels.

Thanks, man! I just realized that when you type a wink type smiley, it also kisses... Sorry about that guys, I don't want to put out the wrong message! Hahaha
But I guess you guys are used to it doing that. ;) lol

[SeanDub]

I'd like to see some shots straight down the side showin the fitment. Car looks great though!

[06tiburonofdoom]

Like so? :)

[xigetmoneyx]

First Tiburon I've seen that isn't a POS.
Good work buddy!

[SeanDub]

Yup, you confirmed my suspicion. You can get a lot lower with more stretch ;)


Like I said though, it looks great as is

[06tiburonofdoom]

Yeah, I debated on 225 or 235 for weeks on end. I ended up wishing I got the 225... Haha
But some camber should help!
And thanks for the warm welcome, fellas!

[the dingo]

Welcome.

Probably the only tibs I've ever seen with a sick stance.
Great work.

[Travis]

I like what i see!

[06tiburonofdoom]

Welcome.

Probably the only tibs I've ever seen with a sick stance.
Great work.

Thanks! I appreciate it.

I like what i see!

Thank you! :D

[danewilson77]

I'm feelin it...but...I didn't need to see your hairy legs..lol

[Flavourless]

sorry www.statusracing.com:alright

[M.Burroughs]

This is one tiburon I can dig.

[Moose]

Well done!

[RedE46Bimmer]

i wasn't sure when i saw the thread title but you have a siick tiburon!! keep up the good work bro.

[TheStig]

Never, have I EVER liked Tiburons... but you my friend, have won me over. That is a verry nice looking car. Keep it up.

[GiRARDsays]

i can dig it. great work.

[FluidMotorUnion]

Haha, I can't help having a beautifully detailed car. :D

sorry www.statusracing.com:alright
Alright, thanks! I'll check it out.

This is one tiburon I can dig.

Thanks, man! I wish I had your photography skills to back it up. :eyebrows

Well done!

Thank you!

i wasn't sure when i saw the thread title but you have a siick tiburon!! keep up the good work bro.

Haha, yes! Another one of the usual reactions! I'm glad you like it!
And the good work will, undoubtably, persist. :D

Never, have I EVER liked Tiburons... but you my friend, have won me over. That is a verry nice looking car. Keep it up.

Wow, thanks! I really appreciate it. Those are my favorite kind of compliments! :)

i can dig it. great work.

Thanks!
And thank you all for the GREAT feedback and welcome! It really motivates me to keep going.

[grippymonkey]

looks clean dude!

[06tiburonofdoom]

Thanks, man! Good to see you on here, as well! :)
Hellaflush approval worthy? :D

[06tiburonofdoom]

Haha, I'm happy to be used as an example of Tiburon modification. :)

[doug118]

hands down the best looking hyundai I've ever seen

[mister hashimoto]

not bad at all

[dinanm3atl]

Damn. That looks great.

I really want a new Genesis 2L Turbo...

[06tiburonofdoom]

Thanks guys! :)
Yeah, I'd like a 3.8L. Factory rolled fenders! ;) That's the coolest feature I've ever seen.
But it looks like I'll have an EG Civic hatch project soon...

[dinanm3atl]

Negative on the 3.8L. You don't want a factory NA V6 when a factory 2.0L Turbo is available. Engine flash the turbo and you are faster than the V6. Add in a front mount, full exhaust, intake and you are way faster!

[06tiburonofdoom]

Haha, true, but I'd like to build a N/A beast with the 3.8. And you can't go wrong with the sound it gives you! But if I wanted bang for my buck, then yeah, a 2L would be cheaper. :)

[87e30]

Hmm. I think the front could use a little spacing. But damn that looks fantastic. As you know, not what I was expecting.

[Stanc3]

tryed to **** it, but couldn't..! lol

nice work, clean all around

[BADwayz]

I can't love the exhaust pipes, but the rest of the car is gorgeous, nicely done mang.

[Digitalwave]

Extremely nice looking Tiburon. I've seen some cleanly modded ones in the past and I've always had a strange liking for them. I'm not too keen on the hood as it takes away from the cleanliness of the car, but it still looks awesome overall.

[psiglx]

Welcome.

Probably the only tibs I've ever seen with a sick stance.
Great work.

i have to agree
great job

[B Rod]

Badass! Flows REALLY well.

[06tiburonofdoom]

Hmm. I think the front could use a little spacing. But damn that looks fantastic. As you know, not what I was expecting.

I got it as far as I could...until I pull the fenders. :)
Like I said, I'm still getting it setup how I want, so it's coming!
And thanks, man!
tryed to **** it, but couldn't..! lol

No huge, burnt titanium tip love? :(

I just kinda wanted clean and aggressive, and this is definitely the cleanest aggressive hood they make IMO.
Yeah, they look great when properly done! :)
Thanks for the compliment!

i have to agree
great job
Thanks!

Badass! Flows REALLY well.

Thank you, that's what I was going for. :D

[sno37c]

Nice man, looks familiar :)

[ignacio]

Definitely one of the cleanest, and I have to agree with Digitalwave but I think I have a thing for the Genesis coupe. Now even more after seeing the one on Hellaflush...

http://fatlace.com/hellaflush/theflushness/seoulful.html

[06tiburonofdoom]

As does yours... Strange... Haha
Thanks, man! :)

http://fatlace.com/hellaflush/theflushness/seoulful.html

Thank you!
Yeah, that guy on Hellaflush sells all of the KDM parts for us Tiburon folks, too! He used to have an AMAZING street driven turbo 4-cylinder Tib that was putting down like 450 whp.

[sb253]

Ive always been a Hyundai fan. Car looks good

[grippymonkey]

When someone asks me about a clean reliable car that has decent pickup and doesnt look like a Civic... I always say Tiburon.

As you should! ;)
And now I'm gonna have a Civic, too... Haha

[Chris@MemoryFab]

wow first one i like

[06tiburonofdoom]

Thanks! :)
I might be getting in touch with you before too long!

[punkhop83]

I like...!!

I wanna see it with crazy camber and 4 inch lip in the rear...lol

[06tiburonofdoom]

Haha, it's getting there! I just don't think it could handle the offset to have a 4" lip! maybe 3.5"... :D

[06tiburonofdoom]

Quick update! Spot the new item. (If you can't figure it out, you shouldn't have the gift of vision. Haha)

[Flavourless]

the trunk looks good. Its super clean and subtle :) I think you should paint it and just leave the lip spoiler carbon

[06tiburonofdoom]

Thanks! I'm happy with it. :)
Hmmm, it does look like a lip spoiler in those pics... It's actually all part of the shape of the hatch! You can see how it's all flat in the profile pic. But that would be a neat idea otherwise!
I might be getting a body colored factory high spoiler for it. I still haven't decided.

[southpaw]

First Tiburon I've seen that isn't a POS.
Good work buddy!

This.

Car looks amazing man. Amazing stance. :eyebrows

[06tiburonofdoom]

Thanks alot! I now have the parts to camber the rear more and drop it like a champ! Like how it was before the flushness! :)

[E30LIFE]

Thats one hell of a well done Tiburon.
Props to you man.

[06tiburonofdoom]

Thank you! :)
Wilwood front and rear BBK soon to come!

[schroedin]

Diggin it!

[e36rjbmw]

go lower, but looks awesome.

[Dmasters]

That's a first for me as well...stance and wheels look great but I'm not really into the vented hood.

[06tiburonofdoom]

Diggin it!

Thanks! I'm glad you guys like it!

go lower, but looks awesome.

Thank you! I'm as low as I can go in front without fender work, but I finally got the rear camber bolts, so I just need to put them in and hopefully I can drop it over 1/2"! I miss my 17s because of how easily I could get low... Haha
Maybe next time I'll run a 35 profile! :)

[525iT_Feen]

This is one tiburon I can dig.

x2

[06tiburonofdoom]

Here's a little shoot I did yesterday evening. :)
I got my Powered by Max fender roller and removed the liner and rolled and pulled the driver's side front fender, and now I have a TON more room to work with! I can go like 1/3" and put a 10mm adapter in there pretty easily, I'd say.

http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r234/thatsdeathmetal/IMG_2502.jpg
SEE HOW MUCH LOWER I CAN GO?! VVV

Enjoy! :)

[bataangpinoy]

i dont mean to pick at it, but if you ran a 5mm spacer up front, your car would be sicker.

you should be proud; its is the cleanest tiburon in america.

[06tiburonofdoom]

Thanks alot for the compliment and advice!
Now the I pulled my front fenders (well, just the driver's side so far. Haha), I'm gonna get 10mm adapters and drop it a little more. I MIGHT be able to go 15mm, but we'll see! :)

[OSSHWA]

Wow, thats gorgeous. My ex (stupid slut) that I dated for about 4 years had a clean Tib that I helped her build. It was a Midnight Blue SE (6-speed/V6). At the time of her slwhoring it up and cheating on me, it was lowered on Tanabe DF210 springs, DC front strut bar, Tanabe twin hyper medallion cat-back, Fujita F5 CAI, ARK short throw, 18" Enkei WDMs and Shark Racing headlight eyelids. I miss turning a wrench on that car. But I don't miss the ex, haha.

Once again, clean ride man.

*Edit. I just read that your only 18? Holy hell, wtf do you do for a living at that age that permits you to have such a pricey car/mod list?!?!?! I'm 22 and my acct. is so far in the negative that I can't even afford Ramen right now! :rofl

[JSanders]

I've never noticed it before, but those are cool cars once you put a little work into them!

Haha, sorry to hear about the ex! Thanks for the compliments! :)
And yeah, I just turned 18 like 6 weeks ago! I just work for my parents, mainly. They've got like 50 rental properties that I clean and paint and such when people move out, keep up the lawns for, or whatever else needs to be done. ;)

I've never noticed it before, but those are cool cars once you put a little work into them!

Thanks, man! Yeah, it usually not what people expect to see when I say that I drive a Tiburon. Haha

I'm picking up an EG hatch tomorrow! I SOOO excited!

[Stolzy]

sorry i will never appreciate this car... thats just me

Haha, kinda! I just picked up the EG hatch! I love it! Even if it is really slow.
It's pearl white! For now...

Yup, it is just you.

Thanks, man! I don't think I had ever heard that before... But it's cool. Everyone has their preference, I guess.

Pictures! On the double!

[SILV3R]

[WhiteStripes]

Actually don't you have 3 cars? And can't wait to see what you do with the EG.

[06tiburonofdoom]

Pictures! On the double!

I'll try to get some up tomorrow! I took a few, but it was dark and they suck! Haha

props

Thanks! :)

Actually don't you have 3 cars? And can't wait to see what you do with the EG.

Woah, I do! I always forget about the Chevelle... If it ever gets done, then I'll claim it. It just sits in our shop on jack stands with a cover on it... :(
I'm pretty excited to get started on the EG! I'm just gonna do small stuff for now. My parents don't want me laying it on the ground until I get out of college. I'll try to talk them into it... It's my problem, so I don't see why it matters.
The list for now, excluding coilovers, is a short throw shifter, PasswordJDM smoked corner lights, JDM black bezel headlights, CF hatch spoiler, Omni rear camber arms, Function7 lower control arms, JDM front lip, and other little interior bits to occupy me until I get wheels and coilovers.

[Flavourless]

Get pics of the EG up stat! What color is it? Any plans for it?

[06tiburonofdoom]

Here's my new DD! Project EG! It needs coilovers SO badly, but my parents said not for school driving. At least until I talk them into it like I did with my car. ;) It's my money and my problem, so why would it matter?!
I'll do little things until I can do wheels and coilovers, though. Like smoked corner lights, JDM black housing headlights, some snazzy tail lights I've seen, JDM front lip, CF spoiler (like the stock one, but a little longer), short throw shifter, and things like that. It still needs some cleaning up and a couple of little things fixed, but it was in AWESOME overall condition. The motor was rebuilt about 30,000 miles ago, freshly recharged A/C, brand new tires, new wheels, new brake pads, somewhat new paint (needs the front and rear bumper repainted, though), and adult owned!

[Gottalovethexi]

ive got a pair of red alcantara status ring seats if you're interested..!

sick tiburon btw, as everyone else has said, this is one tiburon i can respect

[06tiburonofdoom]

Pics of said "snazzy tail lights." :shifty

Haha, no chrome or black Euro crap! They just update the look of the car, IMO. I'll try to find them, like I'll need to do regardless in order to get them. :)

Hmmm... I might be! I'll see what they look like.
And thanks alot, man! :D

[06tiburonofdoom]

Here's the best pic I can find of the tails at the moment.
http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r234/thatsdeathmetal/183322.jpg

[B Rod]

Oh ok, good. :D Those are cool.

[schroedin]

Jealous :(

[06tiburonofdoom]

Well, I've got a new fuel filter in, fresh oil in the transmission, straightened out the radiator support and re-mounted the front bumper, aligned the hood and headlights better, and I just ordered the passenger side windshield molding and the glove box latch and striker! All for the Civic, that is. :)
It's coming along!
I still need to pull my other fender on the Tiburon, get 10mm adapters, and lower it more. So much to do!

[schroedin]

Doing teh work!

[06tiburonofdoom]

Haha, oh yes!
Next, I'll probably get an antenna block off plate, smoked corner lights, and new rocker moldings (side skirts).
For the Tib, maybe a rear diffusor? I'm not too sure what I wanna do with the rear yet, because I like the cleanliness of it now. There's not really much left to do on the Tib's exterior.

[06tiburonofdoom]

Here's a sign of aggressive fitment... :)

*Carbon fiber duckbill spoiler. Don't skimp, get the Spoon one.

[06tiburonofdoom]

It's either the Seibon one for $320 or the Spoon one for $420... I do enjoy getting top quality parts, though. :)
I took a few pics of the Civic with the Tib today! The Tib looks so beautiful and low next to the Civic... Haha

[donati03gt]

and i find my way !

[Stolzy]

first one i like. some te37s would be great in bronze and then dump it. good work!

[activ3]

Looks great! Cleanest tiburon I've seen :)

[06tiburonofdoom]

and i find my way !

Hey, good to see you on here! :)

first one i like. some te37s would be great in bronze and then dump it. good work!

Thanks! Yeah, I don't really plan on TE37s, mainly because I don't see a point in paying like $2,200 for a look that I have right now. Haha
I'm thinking about maybe some Gram Lights 57Pros, SSR Professor SP1s, or some other clean 5-spoke.

Looks great! Cleanest tiburon I've seen :)

Thank you!

[B Rod]

I took a few pics of the Civic with the Tib today! The Tib looks so beautiful and low next to the Civic... Haha

Lets see them!

[06tiburonofdoom]

Here they are! Nothing special. I've actually replaced the rocker moldings and a few other things on the Civic since these pics.

[ducky]

i generally have a profound hatred for tiburons...but this car looks amazing.

[schroedin]

Dude. j00r Tiburon is hot. Are the wheels on the civic from like an '05 civic sedan?

[06tiburonofdoom]

i generally have a profound hatred for tiburons...but this car looks amazing.

Haha, thank you! I love making people think differently about these cars. :)

Dude. j00r Tiburon is hot. Are the wheels on the civic from like an '05 civic sedan?

Thanks, man! I'm not sure about the wheels. Do they have 15s? If so, it's very possible! They're from a newer Honda, but that's all I know.

[grippymonkey]

everytime I check this thread I can't believe how bad my tiburon sucks compared to yours... I am a little jealous!

[ducky]

Haha, thank you! I love making people think differently about these cars. :)

job well done, sir...very well done. i'll still despise almost every one i see, but somewhere deep down i'll know that it has some potential...

[06tiburonofdoom]

everytime I check this thread I can't believe how bad my tiburon sucks compared to yours... I am a little jealous!

Haha, thanks a lot! And don't be jealous, just get to work and make yours better! :)

job well done, sir...very well done. i'll still despise almost every one i see, but somewhere deep down i'll know that it has some potential...

I really appreciate it!
I'll admit, some...okay, MOST of the Tibs out there aren't too well done, but there are a few decent ones! :D

[06tiburonofdoom]

Quick update...
I just ordered 18x10s for the rear. :)
With a 225 FK452, it should be a nice pair. I will now have the widest wheel ever to grace a Tiburon. I'm excited!

[gumballer_80]

It's not every day that you see a Tiburon as nice as this!
Props.

The x10 should be really sick!

[1985zcar]

10s on a Tiburon...that's crazy, lol, should look really good though.

[schroedin]

:confused

The wheels on the hatch are like the wheels on the one I posted, it's the only picture I could find haha.

[06tiburonofdoom]

Those are indeed the Civic wheels! Haha
The 10s are gonna be awesome. I'm ready!

[ECKS///M3]

You're tib looks very sleek man. Looks sleeper like 500+hp and RWD sleeper. In Scotland it's the Hyundai coupe and there isn't one that looks half as good.

[junjdm]

fitment is on point to me....

[06tiburonofdoom]

Thanks guys! Yeah, I definitely like the fitment now, but I'm gonna try a setup with more stretch and camber in the rear.
My main reason for getting the 18x10s was because after I got home from driving around one night and was cleaning off the dust and bugs and such, a saw that about a 3" area of paint had flaked off around the rim of my drivers rear wheel. It gave me a big empty feeling and made me nauseous... Haha
So I sat there staring, thinking about repainting it, but then it hit me. Anyone that knows me could tell you that I never fix something back to how it was. I make it better! So I'm just gonna go all out with the 10s. :)

[dO-bOy]

wow, this is one wicked tibby! never thought i'd say that

[schroedin]

Srs tib is srs.

[06tiburonofdoom]

wow, this is one wicked tibby! never thought i'd say that

Haha, thanks man!

Srs tib is srs.

You're damn right! As srs as they come. :eyebrows
You boys think 225s will look alright?! I don't think it'll look TOO stretched. It's that or 235s! And for some reason, I **** 235s. :mad

Sounds good to meeeeee.

[lespaulman16]

love the tibby man, best looking one i have ever seen

[Oxer]

i generally have a profound hatred for tiburons...but this car looks amazing.

Took the words right out of my mouth..

Looks amazing! :)

[Flavourless]

im jealous i want the eg!!!

[06tiburonofdoom]

Thanks alot guys! I love how this car is liked by everyone! It makes me proud. :)
Haha, I'm actually in the EG right now! I can't wait to start on it, but it'll be a little while before the big stuff happens.

[schroedin]

Are you driving and texting? :shifty

[06tiburonofdoom]

Hell nah, broheim! Haha
I was sitting in a parking lot waiting for an appointment. I also ordered control arms while I waited! Woo!

[schroedin]

[WhiteStripes]

Well, if the EG is anything like the Tib, then it'll be legit.

I like EK's just a little better though.

[06tiburonofdoom]

EW! I **** EKs. Haha EP3s are alright, though. That's the only other Honda hatch I'd drive.

[06tiburonofdoom]

Here's some shots with more camber than usual! I can't drive it like it sits in any of these pics. However I was able to back it out for the outside pics! But the pics with a ton of camber, there is NO WAY I could even move it. Haha
I actually added even more camber after the "fun" pictures, but I was honestly scared to set it down because of how firmly it was pressed against the fender.

Sick whip homie.

[simsima325]

nicely done, car looks great

[schroedin]

Winner.

[06tiburonofdoom]

Thanks guys! :)
Still waiting for the tires to come in so that I can get my 10s on!

[06tiburonofdoom]

Also, for any of you that get really bored, I started a blog yesterday, so you can follow if you feel the need. :)
aggressivefitmentsociety.blogspot.com
I'll try to keep updating it daily!

[1985zcar]

haha damn, do you have aftermarket suspension arms and stuff? Wouldn't figure you could get that much camber out of stock parts.

[06tiburonofdoom]

Haha, yeah, I just installed some aftermarket control arms on Sunday. :)
I can get about a degree or so more than what I had in the crazy camber pics, but I wasn't man enough to put it on the ground. I might try it when I get the 18x10s on! If I don't feel man enough to do it with 10" wheels on a Hyundai, I'll never feel man enough.

[BreakMyWallet]

yes you can^

bump stops are your friend

[06tiburonofdoom]

Haha, it was just because of how hard the tire was pushing against the fender. For some stupid reason, when you add camber, it pushes the top of the wheel out a tiny bit, as well. The bottom moves way more, of course, but that makes it pretty difficult to do a camber tuck. I'll make it work!

[Oxer]

Looks crazy... bit moar guard rolling and she'll be schweeet!

[06tiburonofdoom]

I didn't leave it like that, although I wish I could have. It was just for pics. :)
I do hope to get some custom fender work done over the winter, but we'll see.

[Digitalwave]

I was wondering how your wheels would fit WITHOUT the camber, but then I realized that whatever arms you got add camber from the bottom of the wheel and the top stays relatively unchanged, correct?

[06tiburonofdoom]

It does move the top a little, but not much. It is enough to make it need a little more fender work if I wanted to run more camber, though.

[02Type-S]

One of the best looking tibourons ive seen, nice work

[SeanDub]

[FluffywhiteM3]

I honestly wasn't looking forward to the atrocity I thought I was gonna find in here, but I have been pleasantly surprised. :)

[06tiburonofdoom]

One of the best looking tibourons ive seen, nice work

Thanks! That's what I aim for. :)


:D

Haha, tell me about it! It looked wild when it was like that. I just noticed that you can see some tire bits that I hadn't cleaned up yet in that pic! :cool

Thank you! I've mastered the element of surprise with this car. :alright

[06tiburonofdoom]

Awesome, man, thanks! :)

[06tiburonofdoom]

Here it is! :)
I still need to do a couple of final adjustments (space the passenger side out another mm or so) and get an alignment pretty badly. I ended up with more camber than I thought, so I was happy! I even had spattered rubber (those are definitely not scratches or dirt! Haha). The specs ended up being 18x10 +31 with a 225/40 FK452. I'm loving it so far!

Fitment looks good

[Digitalwave]

Couldn't have done any better. Looks awesome.

[06tiburonofdoom]

Thanks guys! I really appreciate it. :)

[abest521]

I think you deserve a hellaflush sticker.

[06tiburonofdoom]

Oh my! That's definitely my goal. :)
I think I should get my front adapters on first, though. Just so I have the complete package.
Thanks a ton, man! I like to hear things like that.
And your sig is awesome! What are the chances... Haha

[B Rod]

Looking great!

[Jay Z.]

Looks good bro

[06tiburonofdoom]

Thanks guys! :D

[M.Burroughs]

Such a nice shark. Others need to start taking notes!

[Steinke]

Looks sick!
My mom drives a tib, they are decent cars for sure. Need to get here some stretch like that hahah

[Dubmd]

damn dude thats perfect!

[06tiburonofdoom]

Thanks! :) I wish others would learn, but they're just too scared or just don't get it. :(

Thank you! I wouldn't trust my mom with stretch like this... I wouldn't have any rim left! Haha

damn dude thats perfect!

Thanks, that's what I aim for! :alright

[06tiburonofdoom]

Well I just messed around with it for a couple of hours. I went through TONS of washers to find the right sizes, because it has to be absolutely perfect in there, otherwise you're either grinding trailing arm or eating fender.
I did take a grinder to the trailing arm that was rubbing to give a tiny bit more clearance, then I still had to space that wheel out a little more. I tried doing a small newspaper pull, but I was getting way too irritated to take my time, so I just said screw it. So I just sat it down and drove it. It had quite a bit of rubbing at first, accompanied by a stream of smoke from the tires, but it eventually got back to about how it was with the 9.5s, rubbing-wise. I would say that more fender work would be nice, but we'll see how this works for now.

[SeanDub]

lol, sounds like a mission haha

You have that nice ass roller. Do work!

Looking great thus far man. Maybe I'll try and stance my Tib instead of doing an e30 project.

[06tiburonofdoom]

lol, sounds like a mission haha

Haha, it was, indeed! A mission for no grinding...

Doing work!

Yeah! The tires weren't to happy about it, though. :( Especially the passenger one. I was just eating away at BRAND NEW $280 tires... What a fool I am.

Haha, I might have to whip the roller back out. Stancing ol' blue has definitely been fun for me! You can't go wrong with either choice, though. :)

[schroedin]

Work. You haz done it.

[SWINFORD]

Wow, never thought I would say this. Nice Hyundai looks so dope

[06tiburonofdoom]

Thanks, guys! I really appreciate the great feedback! :D

[06tiburonofdoom]

Here's some pics from today. I did a little editing for the first time. Woo! Haha
Everywhere I upload pics to rapes the quality. :( Oh well! Enjoy. :D

Freaken sick pics man, I love ur car it looks great, need to show my buddy ur car, he also has a tib but I think he got a lemon he just had bad luck lol. Is that ur house in those pics?

[B Rod]

Looking great. Can't wait to see the front spaced out a little more to match the rear.

[SeanDub]

Pics look good, car looks great, but yea now the front needs help lol

[06tiburonofdoom]

Thanks alot! That house is actually my grandparents'. They own my neighborhood. :)

Thanks! Yeah, I really need to get those adapters on.

Pics look good, car looks great, but yea now the front needs help lol

Thank you! :D
I guess I either need to get shorter studs or grind the stock ones down a little to make the adapters work, because there's not enough space on the back of my wheel for the factory studs to fit into. Any suggestions?

[SeanDub]

Thanks alot! That house is actually my grandparents'. They own my neighborhood. :)


God damn.

[06tiburonofdoom]

Haha, it's not a huge neighborhood, really. It's a 40 acre private gated community thing. There's only like 7 houses all together.:)

[Tuck&Poke]

fuck me sideways that looks awsome. you did a fantastic job there

[06tiburonofdoom]

Thanks alot! I really appreciate it. :)

[06tiburonofdoom]

Finally got some adapter action going on up front! As of now, it's 18x8.5" +29. Not bad! As you can see, it's incredibly close, but I think I could go either a little wider or a little lower. That'll be a hard choice, so I'll try to do both! :)

Looks good bro.

[ECKS///M3]

Seriously looks ridiculously good, and not just for a hyundai coupe either. I need to find a pic of a terrible looking coupe from around my way just to show you how they do it in Scotland.

[B Rod]

Yes!

[06tiburonofdoom]

Wow, thanks guys! It encourages me to keep making it better. :)

[06tiburonofdoom]

Well, just for an update, there's some custom fender work on the way, so I'm looking at wheels a little more heavily now. The new fender work should hopefully allow something around an 18x12" +0 or so in back and an 18x10" +0 up front. :)
I've also been considering rebuilding some 5 spoke Equips to those specs, but I'm not too sure about how it would look. What do you guys think?

[Joe Flacco]

Damn dude, this turned out freakin sick! good work, rears look reallllll good.....and IMO Equips I think would suit your car proper.

[xlr8rbob]

thats a good looking ass.:eyebrows

[polo12345]

wow very nice!

[LuckyBoyOne3]

Very nice work on taking a car most scoff at and turning it into a "What the...." I bet alot of people do a double take when you roll through.

[Travis]

Wicked!

[schroedin]

So I think out of every Tiburon owner in the world, you have the best tastes. Very very nice work, pumped to see the new fender work! Will it just be pulled or flare-ish things?

[06tiburonofdoom]

Thanks a lot, guys! I appreciate it! :)
I was gonna have a fancy pull done, but then I remembered some Korean mini flare-like things I had seen, so I found a way to get them since they were basically exactly what I was gonna have done. As far as I know, I'm the only one in the U.S. to have them! :alright
I'm doing too many never-before-done things with this car. Haha
So I'll get those little flares molded in and find me some wheels! I'm still wondering how the Equips would look... :devillook
The front is definitely gonna be an 18x10 with a 225/35, but every other aspect of the setup won't be determined until I see how much room I have to play with.

Here's a pic of a car in Korea with the flares. I wonder if it's turbo'd... :shifty
But picturing it slammed with some poke...Hell yes. I hope...

[Tony Soprano]

nice looking tib. nicely done sir.

[KarlSpackler]

Looks good, needs some front camber tho

[06tiburonofdoom]

Thanks guys! :) Yeah, I'm waiting for a guy to make some adjustable front control arms for me, then I'll throw plentiful camber at the front! Haha That'll all be part of the next setup. :D

[WhiteStripes]

Man, I had forgotten all about those fender flares. Lol if I didn't want a Bimmer so bad then I'd probably be your pseudo clone rollin around. I've always wanted that hood, and the flares are legit.

[loneStar22]

that is one clean hyundai
