New Wheels & Suspension!
Well, I finally got the time to sit down and edit some pictures of the new look of the tib. I know some of you may not like the look, and I can understand that. But, I'm proud of myself and my car's progress smile.gif
And also a HUGE special thank you to everyone on here who helped me with everything, Floyd and Josh to name a few. You guys are the best <3<3<3

The pros:
GREAT offset. I know it's not exactly what you wanted but IMO leave it like this because it looks right already.
Great wheels. The color is not what I would choose, but the wheel design is great and really compliments the car.
Great stance. Good ride height to really make the Tib look good without looking artificially slammed like it's lowered simply to be lowered.
Suggestions:
IMO you need some more splashes of turquoise on the body to accentuate the wheels. Ricey? Possibly, but the color of the wheels does not flow with the car as it sits so IMO it's unavoidable. Graphics could work, or a creative use of a two tone scheme. Right now the car has a sort of "one of these things is not like the other" thing going on.
Paint the calipers, but don't do turquoise. Possibly do the Hyundai lettering in turquoise against black calipers. If your calipers don't have the Hyundai lettering swap for a set that does from the SE. Shouldn't be too spendy for the calipers from a wrecker.
Clear the corners on your headlights. With the new wheels, the orange strip seems more out of place than before.
Your car is unique for sure, even though it doesn't work for everybody. It's well done and an expression of what you want. If everyone wanted the same thing, none of us would have ever pointed a wrench at a Hyundai in the first place.

Very unique look. Like Floyd said, you need more turquoise. Consider a graphic or complimenting with matching mirrors or a center graphic. Do not paint a whole panel that color as or will look like primer. I would definarely follow through and complete this transformation which you have started

not to be a douche, but that went from the only new(est) tib I liked to.... im just not feelin the rims. The blacked out with the yellow fogs was the sh*t, IMO. On that note.. what rims are those? I love the design. Want them in white for my sonata.

Yeah, I liked the "murda" look as well. Deffinitely need to offset thr color of those wheels with something. The drop is freakin' sweet though!

being honest here i'm not feeling the color of the rims. and the rims look like the popular Volks, okay but popular. i would have chosen bronze, but it's cool.
i've loved the tenzo type-m:
but that's just me, i have a very different way of looking at cars and don't mind me!
that being said, i don't mind the factory rims on that car either. especially the bronze ones on the euro TSIII limited edition:
props to doing the work yourself! and for making it happen. it's definitely cool.

Looks great, but I agree that you have too many colors happening. Turqoise rims, yellow fogs, amber reflectors, black car. It needs something really small to offset the rims, like either a light pinstriping, or even maybe an eyedrop on the windshield.
Either way though...car does in fact look great! thumbsup1.gif
