Random Exterior Shots
Not much to say here. Car is still in as good condition as the day I drove it off the lot back in 97. It is standard Dynastic Blue (mica).
Total Stock Shot Excluding the window tint at 20%.
I have started some custom work on my front bumper. Not much has really changed, but there are a few subtle differences. I have an EVO VI kit for the car, but have to customise it to fit, so this is still a work in progress.
Here are all my random shots: -
I love the Y3 lights ... I think the Y3 has the best lights of all Sonata's.
I have found some clear indicators for the front guards, & am 100% happy with the fit & the look. Here are some before & after shots: -
The other thing I wanted to do was get some Alteza style clear tail-lights. The only problem being is that no one supplies them for my car, so I gave up on that idea. I did see some clear lenses, which I would have to install myself, but as everyone seems to go for clear lights I thought I would try something a little different.
Love the look of black tint. :)
The only other difference is the brake callipers shown above. I took inspiration from Brembro.
Now for all the latest pics
I decided that after 8 years, my car deserved some new rims. It is a welcomed change from the alloy tri-star mags, which have been on the car since I bought it in 1997. These new rims are also 17" instead of the 15"s.
Next thing is to drop it a little, but will see how it goes.
Wheels Before - After
I have installed T&P Pro Coil Overs, which were imported straight from Korea. They are fully adjustable and are a great product. The ride is so much better then the stock suspension I was running. I think this is as low as I will go though.
And the rims to show you how low it is now.
Well, this project is officially over. The car is getting stripped, and the engine being prepped for the transplant into the Evo. Here are the last shots ever of the Sonata. From my garage, and on its journey to the mechanics. I made sure the number plates were off so I could give her a fitting goodbye.
