Sorry for the bad quality took them with my cell

I cleaned my engine bay





Took the Tiburon emblem from my cousin 06 since he has tuscani emblems
so i just kinda stuck it on there in a few places, lemme know which place looks the best

(1)



(2)



(3)



(4)




and i also put in rim emblems from his tib in my wheels just to see what the look like.

 

the wheels, yes

the emblems on the back, meh just buy a new emblem from the dealership, they are cheap.

bay looks clean but would really look better with a header in place of that huge, overgrown cast manifold we have and not to mention a nice weight reduction.

 

Good job on cleaning your engine bay!! Do something about that manifold cover though...
I'd just stick with the old Dragonfly emblems, if anything debadge it altogether rather than putting one on from an '06. Those who care can easily tell the difference.

 

yea i need to either get a new heat cover, or repaint it with a better paint, im thinkin black instead of red. And the emblem was just out of boredom, but i am kinda thinkin about doin it like it is in picture (2) i think it looks pretty cool.

 

Just remove your heat plate.It does nothing but look ugly.You'll see it'll look much better off till you can get a header.Larrs


oh ya,I'm with StrikeEagle,don't use anything that's not the same year as your car.We will know it doesn't belong and that's what matters,people that know the car.Larrs

 

Yeah, but use a wire brush, steel wool and WD40 to get rid of the rust on the stock manifold. Also, if it is the one that came with the car, check for cracks between the 2-3 cylindar exhaust ports. Although the cracks can appear anywhere, that's the most common. Mine had a crack between 3-4. It alters the sound of the car quite a bit.

Free, new manifold and catalytic converter if you can find a crack... compiments of Hyundai's recall program.

I took mine off and lost it....and I hated the way it looked. Thanks do DDDDDDDDDDDude, its now nicely covered again an looks better.

I think it would look best if you painted it black, but have the "HOT" in Red. Then paint the spark plug cover the same red. That way it ties the covers with the intake.

I also have to agree with Larrs and Strikeagle on that, its like the people with mustangs that put cobra badges on a stock mustang. As far as the heat shield goes just get rid of the whole manifold and get a aftermarket header and be done with it. It will be better in the long run, but thats just my opinion.

 

"Badges, you dont need no stinkin badges!" Honestly, if anything, loose the badges all together, or keep the dragonfly thats on the car now. I really dig the wheels though. I actually did that to my old ADR rims and they looked great!
