Hi, my name is Seth.

I'm from Los Angeles.

I drive a 2000 Tiburon.

I found these forums through newtiburon.

I just bought a 2000 Hyundai Tiburon with fews mods.

It's good to meet you all and I hope to learn from you!

ARNOLDCOP

Welcome man....Which mods are in your tib? ...post some pic of them----

Sethide

Hello,

Thanks ARNOLDCOP
I don't know much about cars, So I can't name those mods. I need some advice here.
I need a major body job and have got a first estimation about $1400 which include a new front/rear bumper
and a whole body paint job.
My first question is:
Where could I get those bumper cheaper or should I let them order those bumpers.
My seconde question concern my wheels. I have 3 17' Exel RIMs with low profil tires
and 1 15' original wheel with a Hyundai Cap on it. I embed some pictures taken by the previous owner.
My idea is to replace the 17' Exel rear wheel by a normal 15' wheel.
Is that a good idea from the safety point of view? Because right my rear wheel are different size.
If yes, where can I find this?

Thank you very much for you help.
Regards,

Seth

that is a nice looking ride. but 1400 for bumpers and paint is cheap cheap cheap

ARNOLDCOP

that´s a cheap price, I believe, for the US market... and about the wheels, definitnely you should put the same size it's safer...... rather been 15" or 17".....but with that body kit 17 would be better.

SOCKS_old

wow.. 1400$ for two bumpers, install, paint WHOLE car is really cheap..

i would be very leary of it being anywhere near a decent job, unless he is like your friend and really hooking you up.

and for the rims.. please either get all four 17s, or 15s.. it will look retarded with 2 17s and 2 15s or w/e.

safety wouldn't really be an issue. but if the diameters of the tires are a lil different (the way it is now, with 17 on one side, 15 on other) one tire will wear un-even and be need replaced sooner than the other.

Sethide

Thank you, I will try to get 2 17' RIMs asap.
For the body kit, I ll probably have to remove them.
