I'm dec, I'm 16 and I have a 2001 White Tiburon. It's in pretty perfect condition with only 30000 miles, but I wan't to change it's paint and get a good body kit before I start working on the inside. It has a pretty nice leather interior too.







I love it wink1.gif I just learned how to drive stick, since it's a manual. I'm only afraid of stopping uphill.

Welcome to the site...^^Youll learn...

Heres a little advice
17" rims (gold or bronze)
Tires 205-40-17
Lower it...springs and shocks or coilovers
Tint
Clear corners
Leave it white
if you MUST get body kit dont get cow catcher..search for that, youll see what I mean
Then save up for either boost or NA mods
If you go NA--Cold air intake, exhaust, headers should be first

Really? I didn't know that.. I like the Ixion more anyways, more unique and it seems every 00-01 tiburon has a Veilside kit.

Ya man, car looks good. I used to love the VS kit, but have have grown to hate it as EVERYone has it. If you get the IXION kit, you will need larger rims. If you dont get a body kit, then get 16" rims as they look better on a tib without a body kit.
First thing I would do though is get some clear corner lights - http://www.kspec.com/list.php?ac_id=83&ai_id=407
There is also a DIY on this site that will show you how to make your corners clear.
good luck!

alright *bookmarks* Thanks, I'm trying to get an alarm system before anything though. I'm looking at the clifford matrix one, any suggestions?

And you really like the color white? I was thinking Slate blue, my favorite color. I really don't like white, but the mileage was so good we had to get the car tongue.gif lmao.gif

Nice Tib you have!

You are lucky with that mileage wink1.gif

Leave it white and turbocharge it!

Thanks smile.gif I may leave it White, I haven't seen too many of those around. My dad is an auto-detailer/eye doctor (weird combination) but he says it's too late in the year to paint a car without having it end up looking like a pos. I really do love slate blue though.

Welcome to the site!!
If you like the ixion kit, check out the Cuda 1, looks awesome and is semi rare too.
Glad to see someone joins who knows how to act on a forum!
