Default Gk Tib Bumper on the Accent?

Well since there are quite a few accent owners on here I figured I'd ask you all what you thought of the Idea?
I was messing with Photoshop a little and this is what I came up with.

Don't worry about the colors I'm not sure what color I'm painting it yet and was just experimenting with the airbrush tool.


There are a bunch of KDM elantras with this bumper and a few accents as well. But I'm gonna make this happen in the spring time.

This isn'y my car I stole it from google for the decent sized picture.
all in all I think it flows really nice and I'm pretty much convinced Hyundai should have stuck this bumper on everyone of there cars. lol

Side note: what side skirts are those and where can I get them???

EvoFusion is trying to get a prebuy going for the LC2 to make that bumper.

EvoFusion GK Accent bumper

If you could get a few people together I would bet that they would make one for the LC.

I think it would look good. I would get in on the prebuy at EF for the LC2, but I'm thinking that since I have the GK also and I've been wanting to try my hand at a fiberglass project that I might just try it myself.

The side skirts look like the OEM GSi skirts from Canada. You should also be able to use the 03-05 Accent GT skirts in the US.

^^^^ That's the Idea I wanna do some more Fiberglass work. I have "stitched" a few urethane bumpers together before and it turned out pretty decent. I'm gonna give it a try with the tib bumper and see how it works I just need to get ahold of my body guy to see if we still has his plastic welder setup .


It took like a year and a half for 2 guys to get theirs (elantra's) made and shipped to them from EF. They had a group buy but most Hyundai owners are broke as SH*T when it comes down to droppin a chunk of change for a group buy.
