Oriath's 2007 Hyundai Accent

Welcome to my Accent's page!

     I purchased it from a hyundai dealer brand new at the end of July 2007 so I could drive back and forth to school reliably (about 110 miles/day) after my '93 saturn SL2 died.  As my first year with the car progressed, I began to daydream about what i could to to make it MY car.  Below is my '07 accent GS and my buddy's '94 Integra... that's a fun ride... and soon to come next to it, my bro's 2009 accent, check out his ride http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3387098!

    The first thing, since i LIVED in my car, i needed my music.  About a month and a half of making detailed drawings and doing math DURING my classes, I came up with the design for my trunk.  Spring break starts, and I start doing the fiberglass work and cutting the mdf for the basework.  The Premier reciever took me custom making a mount, and a custom trim ring to put into the dash.  The end result:

     My next project was my AEM SRI and my B&M short throw shifter, if you dont have either, get them. NOW.

     After installing these pieces, naturally, I wanted more.  So with my weekend time, I pulled off the engine cover, masked it up, and hit it with some engine paint i had sitting in the closet.  Looks great when I pop the hood up.

     Cant Stop there, I had to do something.  Wanted to make the headlights blend into the car more, popped em open, sanded, masked, sprayed, siliconed,and slapped em back on the car with new Sylvania bulbs.  The look great.

Alright guys, FINALLY got my SPS Muffler on the car, check it out, lemme know what you think!  Fixed a leak in the welds, and re-routed the piping a smidge, sounds MUCH better now.  Ridin on 16" ICW rims right now too!  The Custom axle back weld job, thanks Jesse! ^^!

relocated the horn to hide it from view while i was driving around with no grill... and for when i get the new grill completed.  it's now attached to the battery mount.

     The latest project completed, my custom grill!  I liked what it came with, but i wanted a slightly different look, so i cut out all the abs plastic mesh behind the grill and cut out the Hyundai symbol.  Just a few layers of fiberglass, a little body filler to smooth, and paint!

Hey whats up man, I was just wondering what tire size you have on your car. Are they 40 or 45 side wall height. Reason I am asking is I had P205/40 and just upgraded to 45 and the ride is alot better, not bending no more rims. I am still undecided on what springs I want to get but want to make sure I have enough room and dont go over with the new tire size. Thanks bro. in advance.
