How many people have unique modifications on their cars that are 1 of a kind that either no one or only a very few people have? Either engine, tranny, interior, or exterior mods. Post them up!

Boo yah.

Evolution 8 radiator. I think I'm the first and only one to ever do this unless someone can prove me wrong.

Two resonators.

All LEDs (thanks DTN).

Where to begin...

- Only myself and Regit are the only ones in North America that have a Club GTR kit
- As far as I know, I'm the only one with a 100% full molded kit (front, sides, rear)
- Im the only one with metal work done on the rear fender arches to have a custom lip
- Im one of the few people who have a Kombat spoiler on their RD2
- I think I may be the only Tib owner with front bumper canards
- Im the only Hyundai owner with Speed 5's in Gloss Gold. The color was discontinued and can no longer be purchased anywhere.

I haven't seen anyone else post this in the Forced Induction section, so I assume I'm all alone here. I think I'm the only one who has successfully installed TAMS (Tornado Air Management System).

Ok.... Lets see.

Fully self built fiberglass center channel speaker housing molded into dashboard
Fully self built 12" fiberglass rear right subwoofer housing molded into the wheel well
Fully self performed LED conversion on vehicle
Fully self built LED VU Meter on rear deck of hatch
Fully self painted interior
Fully self built angel eyes
Self/friend made seat uphoulstry/custom stitching
Self/Friend made custom nitrous oxide purge
Self spray tinted/edge painted, imported clear corners from Korea, with strobes which are activated with the car alarm, which is activated by custom alarm system with proximity sensor
Self painted speakers/amplifier/capacitor.
Self painted Engine covers, valve, spark,timing.
Reorganized wiring harnesses thorughout the car
Custom exhaust fully from front to rear, JDM(Eclipse) header, 2.25" exhaust including high flow cat, 30" cherry bomb glasspack, and dynomax superturbo muffler.
Scoote Hood with redirected airflow to cool my intake manifold, also hood lifters, removed hood latch, added locking aerocatch hood pins, filled the entire thing with foam for structural stability.

God.... I can't even think of what else.... I have alot of rare parts and self made parts.... Oh dang man.... Tons of DIY jobs like skateboard shifter bearings, restricter removal, adding E-clips to the looser shifter points.. I like short shifters so I Shortened my B&M short shifter, so I can shift my short shifter even shorter when I shift..

And, custom front bumper... https://www.hyundaiaftermarket.org/forum/in...t=0&start=0 Which caused me to import the ATH lip and the Turby skirts from korea.

There's a ton of stuff I've done to this car and I believe not a single mod has made anything more difficult to work on, or reduced functionality in the slightest bit.

Oh yeah... I have 2 cold air intakes, I bought a injen style and an AEM so I can have the Injen elbow and the AEM actual cold air. The Injen elbow is where I mounted my nitrous injector.

I could keep this up, but you get the point.

let's see...

I think I'm the only one who has done a heater vent mod to mount speakers in the vents. ( maybe 2 other people have speakers there but don't have functional heat in the doors anymore)






And I might be the only one dumb enough to mod completely good turby skirts lol:




Also if and when it's finished I'll be the only one with a full custom CAI from the filter to the TB including the MAF. ( 1 piece maybe 2 at the most total with built in MAF )
