Hyundai Aftermarket

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.

Default plasti dip your brake calipers!
I recently discovered a thread on dipyourcar where people were discussing if you could plasti dip your brakes... I mean, seriously? I'm all for using it as a temp substitute for wheels as I obviously have but brake calipers is just too far! Spraying them with high temp caliper paint is not difficult at all.



What's next, plasti dip turbos!!



*sigh*

I think I have a leak on my brake lines. I'll just plastidip them so it doesn't have anywhere else to go. Surely the pressure isn't THAT high

yeah, tell me the exhaust tips aren't coated too or that's just the color reflection of bumper.
