Things you found out
What are somethings, you found out about the Tiburon that you think others would/wouldn't enjoy.
For instance.. my Cup holder broke inside my dash (yes, will get you the $$$ for the one i called dibs for).. My headunit.. has a motorized face, and when I insert a CD... I have to move my coffee(argh.. move coffee, change CD, Shift Gears, Hold Smoke, talk on Cell.. shessh multitask).. So, i found this out for all you timmie drinking folks[Tim Hortons].
The Center(re) consol is just deep enough, to fit a Larger coffee. I have some foam insert on the back of the consol, to advoid back tip. But yea, fits like a glove. No coffee visable, no mess on deck or dash.
Also, if you remove the back seat.. you can fold the driver seat/passenger seat too.. to almost a 180°.. more like 160° (and they say there is no room in a coupe for some nookie) wink1.gif

yeah the cup holder f'in sucks,
heres some more useful info :
The 3rd gen hanging cargo net (pocket) will just barely work on a 2nd gen. the hardware kit for it includes a set of screws w/ hooks on them that fit perfectly into the screw holes on the side of the trim that the hatch cover thing sits on, i have mine in the front screw holes but for those of you w/ sub boxes you may need to fabricate some extensions to move it more to the rear.
I'll post some pics for yall here once they are approved.

First off, there is like 10000 different noises I've always heard INSIDE the Tib. Either coming from the ceiling, the hatch, the sun visor mirrors, the rear view mirror, the dash and the glovebox. It gets really annoying when I don't have music on and the windows up, however when that happens I'll also hear my terrible exhaust. So to can all that noise I just put the windows down and play the music sorta loud smile.gif
Oh yea, and I hate the fact that the engine bay was sprayed with PROTECTANT from the dealer and all it did was make the stupid dirt stick even more! Stupid Hyundai.

They burn out all the damned time. There's a few work arounds but I always forget them.
The engine bay protectant is your local dealer, not Hyundai's fault.
I also can prove that you CAN have nookie in the back or front seats.
Heh heh...

i've had my tibby for 2 years and my headlights have never burned out....i'm just lucky i guess
yeah, the cup holder makes me mad too. when i have a drink there, i cant reach the radio. and then, when i put it in park, i hit the cupholder, splashing the drink on my cdplayer. GRRR.
you know on the door handles on the 2nd gens, there are those little plastic black pieces that fill in holes? i keep losing those.
when i first got my tib, the passanger side window locked up. it wouldn't go down at all. we did everything (yes, including checking the window lock button wink1.gif ) and finally took it into hyundai. they couldn't find anything wrong. it worked fine. my dad and i were like WTF. i haven't had a problem with it since.

:crosses fingers: My lights have never gone out.
My sunroof, inside lights, and door ding sound all don't work. I need a new fuse, but I'm lazy.
I have no cupholder, it broke when my radio was stolen.
