Some of you might remember what my Tib looked like. Some of you even posted comments.

Here's an update for you guys. Before:









Yep...pretty much the ugliest Tiburon I've seen in person and it belonged to me.

So, here's an update. Apologies for the bad pictures. I took them with my phone and the car hasn't been washed nor is the location ideal for a photo shoot. Tell me what you think....














The car is NOT complete. Missing emblems and other smaller details. Still, I'm quite happy.

looks great, man. congrats on getting those fenders to fit! Glad to see you sticking around... with all the issues you've had lately, I was starting to think you'd be ditching the tib soon!

The Fenders weren't too much of a problem. Fortunately my hood was beat up so it made more sense to slightly alter the hood to gel better with the fenders, but not enough to ruin the hood, should I ever need to put the stockers back on.

I'd LOVE an F2 Bumper and am hoping that Chris get's the time and resources to work with me on this one. Alternatively, OdessitP has a lip I wouldn't mind buying, but he's too damn lazy to ship it to me wink1.gif

I'm not going to invest in Eibachs for Chicago. I'd rather put my KYBs on and be content.

Thanks guys. Any more advice/comments are welcome.

youd be fine lowering it with the eibachs in chi town.. detroit is the worst, and i am fine with eibachs and the body kit. i only scrape or hit when going in parking garage..

where you get all the work done.. looks great.. get that lip from OP

but seriously where did you get the work done, and the paint..

Yep, believe it or not. They did a pretty good job for the $. Smallest of details aren't perfect, but I wouldn't pay $1500 more to imrove on them, so I'm happy.

The power of working for the phone company - I promised him a great deal if he put extra effort into it.


Anyone know what I can use to remove paint powder from the dash? It looks like shoe polish on the dash.
