MetalMessiah78's 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe

This is the page for my 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe. It's an LX model and has a 3.5L engine, wood dash trim, and sunroof. Though it came pretty well equiped from the factory, my nature is to modify the hell out of things. Some of the mods I've done that can be seen in the images above:

� Flame Grill
� Hyundai O.E.M. Brush Guard
� Lund Clear Bug Deflector
� Chrome Grill Shell
� Chrome Dual Windshield Wiper Blades
� Chrome Santa Fe Logo on Windshield
� Tint on the Upper Windshield
� Chrome License Plate Frame with Spikes and Skulls
� Hyundai O.E.M. Chrome Side Mirror Covers
� Hyundai O.E.M. Chrome Side Steps With Santa Fe Logo
� Tint on Front Door Windows
� Side Marker Flame Decals
� Black Pin Striping
� Vent Visors
� Door Molding
� Hyundai O.E.M. Rear Spoiler
� Skull and Guitars Window Graphics
� Redline/Quest Afterburner Exhaust Tip

In these pictures, you can see some of the mods mentioned above, including a better picture of the rear spoiler. Some of the other rear mods include:

� Altezza Tail Lights
� Redline Afterburner
� LX Badge (originally from a Mazda, Santa Fe's aren't branded with trim badges)
� Santa Fe Forum Decal (where I am a moderator)
� Chrome License Plate Frame with Spikes and Skulls
� Chrome Harley Davidson Window Decal
� Metal Window Decal
� Curt Hidden Trailer Hitch
� Hyundai Santa Fe O.E.M. Chrome Trailer Hitch Cover
� Hyundai O.E.M. Chrome Bumper Light Surrounds
� Hyundai O.E.M. Chrome Rear Glass Hinges
� Hyundai O.E.M. Chrome Rear Glass Handle

The picture on the left is a better shot of my side markers. They look wicked at night.

The picture on the right is of the driver's side of my Santa Fe. It has all the same mods as the passenger side, plus the addition of a Hyundai O.E.M. chrome fuel cap cover.

Awsome truck man.My mother just got one and I love to drive it.I told her I would probably trade her my car for it.I have a question though. Does your alarm sound the horn when you hit the panic button? My moms truck doesn't and I was wondering if the original owner cut a wire somewhere.
