^^ I'll get some better pix. I painted them black origonally.. It didn't look too bad, matched the rest of the car. I wanted it to look like it came like that though so i painted it blue. i don't have any since then. I'll remember to take some pictures this weekend while I do my fiberglass subwoofer project.
Heh... I grew up learning how to drive in Montana when we had no speed limits. 130 on the highways and 45 through towns. I pretty much always get speeding tickets when I don't pay attention to how i drive.

well, the good thing about more show than go.. you are less likely to get involved in illegal street races, get massive amounts of tickets for speeding or reckless driving.......

so how bout those pics so i can make some chops..
and to xxmonoxide about the rice, and all the show stuff. show is definately cheaper, and you can go certain routes to make it look better without making it look ricey, and wild.. the way mine will be when its done, i think will look about what it should have looked like out of the showroom.. molded king sides (theyre simple, low, clean, no vents, or scoops) mold my rear pods (cleaner, more low profile look) and my front bumper isnt wild either..
for an rd1, an ATH rear lip or wings west, king sides, and f2 front, with HD lip would look way hotter than stock.
the painted interiors, IMO aren't my favorite, but i LOVE when people paint it flat, or gloss black.. color matching is ok.. and i know im a hypocrite cuz i have a CF interior, but thats back in the day, when i was a lil more ricerish.. so ha.
best upgrades for the tiburon, IMO besides boost, and stuff, more of looks/exterior looks: from best to good
17" rims/tires ~900$
suspension - ~400$
window tints ~200$
CF hood ( i like the look, not everyone does) ~500$
depending on rd1 or rd2 (shark or type R spoiler) ATH if possible lol ~200-400$
front end: f2 for rd1, GT lip for rd2 if possible ~350-500$
side skirts: King sides ~200$ when made
rear: ATH or wings west for rd1, GTR pods or cadamuro for rd2 ~200-300$
then of course paint which can vary from 1000$-5000$.
you can do alotta small things like painting valve cover, resivoir tanks, changing vaccum line colors, painting interior, painting headlight housing, etc. which would cost a total of like 50$ and your time, and make things look alot better..
