i like the 1st link better more original.. although that back end is a little too chad... reminds me of a CRX

but the front is major slick...

Posted by Mark on Mar-31-2003 23:47:

how much does a brand new tiburon cost? if i could choose, i wouldn't want a hyundai but thats just my preference. no specific reason.

1st link has a mint kit

2nd link is a mint kit too, but kinda flashy

what color is your tiburon?

i think that could be the deciding factor between the 2 kits

hyundai has had a bad reputation.(atleast in past) cars aren't that great. the body style of the tiburon is clean though. better than the previous one. and I preferably like the first kit better.(but 1500 for a kit!!!)

Posted by Mark on Apr-01-2003 00:57:

lol, i don't think he has his hyundai yet, so the comments about which body kit looks nicer seems pretty irrelevant at this point.

hmm..

Tiburons are the greatest (besides the 350Z).

I will buy one when I have the money.

dont have one yet, but im looking into buying a car in like a month. i would probably go with a silver or black color

The second one is ugly. To much crap on there. And it really doesn't show the real car. The first one is ok. But the wing is worthless. Just so you know, those wings do produce downforce, and well the Tib is front wheel drive. Therefore producing anti-traction on the front tires and downforce on the rear tires. Doesn't make sense to me. Also, those wings will start to make dents on the hatch, well if it's metal. Just a heads up.

Posted by DJ Chrono on Apr-01-2003 01:53:

Go with black, there are too many silver ones

Posted by tranzformer on Apr-01-2003 01:55:

i like the first one too, but there is something about that second. i dont know if it is the color that makes it stand out or what.

Personally, I wouldn't buy a Hyundai either...some cheap parts get put into those, though I don't know much about the new Tibs. Anyways, the first kit would be my choice. In Toronto, Tibs are the most stolen car so anything too flashy better have a damn good security system.

The tiburons seem pretty stable from what I've heard. My sister owns a 98, and nothing really has gone wrong with it yet.

and yes they are the #1 stolen car. so if you cant afford a real security system atleast put a fake one (red blinking led connected to nothing).

my older brother has an 2000 tib, its a nice car, hasnt failed on him, well at least with out him having something to do with it, it handles very nice and it has amazing acceleration

Posted by Orbax on Apr-01-2003 05:12:

eh, seriously how much does it cost. if its anywhere between 16-26k it isnt worth it. the 2.7 dohc only pushes 170hp 180ftlb...if youre gettin it for looks it could be good i guess, but your money would be better spent on other cars.

Posted by Mikrop on Apr-01-2003 06:40:

i like the first one... WITHOUT THAT STUPID LOOKING WING AT THE BACK

Posted by a_adl on Apr-01-2003 08:46:

love the second on but needs different color

Posted by brainfried on Apr-01-2003 10:57:

The First one!

The first one definitly looks better but i think it may just be a matter of opinion. But before you rush off and buy the kit remeber that a car with a kit and no rims will look shit, and u need to pay for it to be installed sprayed, etc. it can all add up pretty fast

ugh, don't you dare compare THAT to a CRX... j/k

<--- owns a crx

anyways, the black tiburon looks really good... i'd go for that one... i don't really like agressive body kits personally...

cool, silver or black, i'd say go with kit #2 then

Posted by FastFashion on Apr-01-2003 14:49:

A Tiburon???

Why would you want that when you can have this....

...fOr $85k.

Posted by TranceDiablo on Apr-01-2003 15:48:

DAMN!!!!!! thats a SWEET car!!!i like the yellow/orange one

Posted by speedracer_mec on Apr-01-2003 16:52:

racing and hyundai shouldnt be used in the same sentence

Posted by Konijn on Apr-01-2003 19:08:

The first Tib. looked better.

Huyndays are good because you get a lot of bang for your buck--they throw technology, power, and extras that you'd typically find in more expensive cars.

but they're generally shitboxes. They can't handle much wear and tear, and young people in cool-looking sporty cars are apt to put major wear and tear on their rides...

Plus, I think the Tiburon is slightly overpriced. With the same money you can get a hooked-up Civic EX coupe, a sporty toyota Matrix or Celica, or the Nissan Sentra Spec-V (which is a rocket) -- All three of these cars can easily be hooked up and they're way more reliable than the Tiburon.

You may also want to spring a little more loot and get the quality of an Acura RSX, which is a sweet little ride, or a lower end Audi A4.

With the 20 grand you're probably gonna be dropping, you may also want to look for high-end used cars. You can get a factory-approved used car in great shape, that looks and feels brand new. My neighbor recently bought a 2000 GS300 from the Lexus dealership for 26,000 grand with 30K miles on it, and it's an excellent car. With 20g's you can rock a late model 3-series Beamer or a used baby Benz.

just some thoughts...
