Default My 2001 Tiburon

Just traded my p.o.s. GMC Jimmy straight up for this. It has 112k miles, the body is rust free, but the paint is like nail-polish thin and had bright-blue primer. The paint has chips, scratches, yeah, all of that. Plus this huge f'd up fender. I only got this because of the mpg's to drive back and forth to work, but I see some wheels and suspension in the future. It runs pretty well, but needs a wheel bearing I'll get to asap. Anyway here are pics.











boo-boo's









I think I might start with spraying the wheels black.

Passenger side looks clean



Fenders are pretty cheap. You can get one on ebay for usually around $100, and a shop will probably only charge you 50-100 to spray it. Or you could try and find a used fender in the same color at a junk yard.



If you're gonna go with the murdered out look (all black), then:



1. Tint the windows

2. Nightshade the rear lights

3. Nightshade the front turn signals

4. Plastidip the rear emblem

Emblems are getting tossed out, I will pick up a new fender when it goes in for paint, doesn't bother me for now. The paint is real rough. Can't night-shade the tails where I live. Cops love that.



I do love the murdered out look though.

The only comment I heard from a professional painter about paint on this vintage of Hyundais was that it was one, surprisingly thin, coat on the whole car.
