So, I had been waiting over a month with a deposit at two different Vegas dealers for a 2.0T Track. They both finally gave up and returned my deposit because they couldn't get one. I even called a few neighboring states and none of those dealers have any either. According to all of the dealers, the SW region has been getting nothing but loaded V6 GT and Track cars as well as base model 2.0T's, but nothing in between. They all told me that this is what Hyundai is sending them at that they keep requesting 2.0T Tracks but can't get them.

So, I bought something else. I'll revisit the Gen Coupe in 2 to 3 years.

Without further ado...

Here's the last two pics of the Z... EVAR:





The new ride (I've tinted the windows and lights since these were taken. Will update later with new pics):











I actually like the interior of this one. The GT usually comes all black inside. I got the California Special because it comes with a light 2-tone interior. I'll also be replacing alot of the plastic pieces with CF eventually (not CF overlays, actual CF parts):



What it's going to look like with black rims (I'm thinking 19's for daily driving):



I'm probably going to get these white (or CF) mirror caps as well:



Window sticker:



First mods are going to be exhaust (Borla):



Then suspension:

Maximum Motorsports Sport Box, which consists of an MM Panhard Bar with Aluminum Rod, MM Caster/Camber Plates, H&R Cup kit with springs, shocks and struts and Eibach front and rear sway bar kit.



Then the Kenne Bell:

Then Stoptech brakes:

Real nice man. Be sure to post your progress!

Black rims would look good, but they would look even better if you had racing stripes... like the one you posted.

On a side note I always wondered what CS stood for... well now I know lol.

Is it just me or is the e-brake kind of oddly placed in the way of the shifter?

EDIT: Ah, thats the way it looks pulled up.

Looks like a good car, have fun with it.

New pics...

Windows tinted, lights blacked out and 6" billet black antenna. The next mod is to remove the front plate bracket and have the holes filled:





With an original GT350, fitted with a Paxton blower:





Thinking about getting the blackout panel to go between the taillights. Not sure yet though:

Now:


3D Carbon panel:



GT Styling panel (will match the lights, since they have GT Styling covers on them):



I've also picked out my rims... Axis Super Hiro's in black with a white line (19x9.5"):

looks SO SO good.. its about the same as my color scheme also.

i really like the look of the blackout in the back. i would do it..

i thought about it on my car, but it wouldn't really look right on the neon.

i would go with the GTS panel.

and the rims look great, looking forward to seeing em on the car..

quick chop... not very great. i tinted the chrome on the badge a lil, thats why it looks diff
