Update:



After owning the new (white) Tib for over a year, I figured it was time for some new plugs. I went with Denso Iridium plugs that I got literally because they were on sale, and I couldn't be happier with them. Granted the plugs that came out of the engine were covered in more ash than a bonfire, but these new plugs have smoothed out the engine quite a bit. Combine that with a fresh oil change and the Tib really perked backed up in a matter of an hour's worth of work. Best part of all, after carefully planning coupon codes and mail-in rebated the plugs, oil, and filter cost me a grand total of $6.

Yes it certainly does! Especially since i consider myself to be some sort of "photographer".



Problem is, this Tib doesn't look half as good as my old one, so every time I think about snapping a pic of it I just think "Meh", and let it go.



I did however get a quick cell shot last night while pulling onto my low profile ramps.

Because RaceCar!!



**Edit: If you can't tell the bumper is wedged on the ramps popping it out.**

Changing plugs and wires on a tib is the easiest thing in the world. Anyone who says they cant figure it out has to turn in their license and man card. lol

A friend of mine works at a Hyundai dealership and said they were going to throw these away. I don't know that I "need" them, but it couldn't hurt to have em. Esp. since they cost me nothing!!
