Hyundai Elantra Forum The Hyundai Elantra Forum. Later models (96-up) of this 4-door share their Beta engines and chassis with the Hyundai Tiburon. Earlier Mistubishi-based Hyundai Elantras (92-95) are perfect candidates for the popular 4g63t motor swap, which turns the Hyundai Elantra into a real sleeper. These characteristics make the Hyundai Elantra a great car for those who want sports car performance with family car flexibility.

Bodykit

so i found this kit last week when i decided to randomly search for body kits again. i found this one and loved it. it gets better. They slashed $200.00 dollars off it within the past week!

problem:

1. they have it on the chinese version elantra. do we know if the dimensions are the same as the american verison? i will email them and ask but does anyone know already.

i think i can get my friends to give 50 dollars a piece and i will hopefully get my kit. get it painted......and get a custom dual exhaust with new tips and i will be set!

I doubt that it will be a direct fit, it would be significantly more difficult to make the dimensions the same than to make them different.

Wow a women that has such great taste and loves talking about cars.

Will you marry me?

Hope you get it to fit cause that's the nicest body kit i've seen in a while for any Hyundai. So clean crisp and not overdone.

Front looks like a mix of the new Merc and a subaru legacy.

i loved the incus kit originally but they went out of business earlier this year. so i have been on the hunt. i like how it doesnt make the HD look boxy like some other kits do.

Pretty nice kit. I thought Wings West went bankrupt and shut down. Maybe they found someone to buy the company and keep it open. Anyway, the front and rear may not fit that well, but the sides should.

I tried doing a google search to see the difference between Chinese Elantra's and American...but couldnt find anything. Can you post pics of the 2 styles?

Call me crazy, but I like the Chinese version better, although I don't like the Chinese Accent.
