nice tib.. not a huge fan of the stock bumpers on the new tibs, but nice none the less.

i believe most of the car is the same as 03-06, so i would say first things I personally would do.. lowering springs, some nice clean wheels, CAI, headers, and exhaust.

will give the car a totally new look and feel and be MUCH more fun to drive.

is that the 4 or 6 cyl? auto of manual?

nice, that's good to know!! its the 4, shiftronic.

SOCKS_old 07-03-2008 11:17 PM

ahh.. that suxors.. manuals are so much nicer, but i know some people aren't into the whole manual shifting thing. i never thought i would be, but i would never own an automatic again unless it was a truck.

take some more pics of the car.. like some side profile pics and interior pics. i love the interior on the new tibs.

I personally would have waited another year for the Genesis.... but it still looks good.

I'd really consider replacing the front bumper at least... maybe the rear and sides if you feel the urge. It's a good looking car, but I seem to like the body kits for that model better than the factory look

SOCKS_old 07-03-2008 11:25 PM

genesis, or genesis coupe? ^^ i like the sedan, but the coupe is meh. gonna be like 20k$ base, ~3500lbs, with like 230hp.

you can get a fully loaded 4cyl, auto tib with the incentives and such for like 17,500-18,000.

i've got one of the interior:

as for the bumper, I actually really like the bumper-- I'm thinking about a lip thou, I saw a pic of a white one used in a thread about clear corners and I really like the look of the lip... as for the genesis, I really wanted out of my G5, and i've loved the tiburons since i was like 12 so being 18, I decided hey, why not go for it.

first thing i would do is make it go from:

to this:

then get some nice thick 5 spoke rims in silver.

something like these

holy s*!& those rims are AMAZING!! I can't lower the car too much, unfortunately I have to drive it in snow during the winter and the roads here are disgusting.

'treezy 07-04-2008 02:06 AM

wow that's pretty. I like em'

and socks' second photoshop really does make the car look better, you should lower it anyways. Properly. It will be more enjoyable to drive, less sloppy body shift under acceleration and better cornering stance. I'm sure there is a strut spring combo out there, or even just springs.


HIDs are a nice first touch too!
