I like tibs. They did a great job of improving on the last model. Give a link for pictures.
Sounds like you put a lot of money and hard work into the car, and I personally think it looks good.

I'll also be a dick. I just don't get this kind of modding. Maybe you can shed some light (though I'll probably never get it). So, you have around $20K in the car itself, and it sounds like you could have another $15K in mods and labor (though I have no idea what any of that shit costs). All in all, you could have around $35K in a Hyundai that on a good day might sell $15K (oh, and it's still a FWD economy Hyundai coupe). Talk about taking a bath... For $35K, you could get a very well equiped 2007 6MT G35 sedan with premium package that is a far better car in every way possible (and has some resale value). Or, for just a little more, you could get a Euro-delivery 335i 6MT with sports package, which is also a far better car with resale value. Makes no sense to me. Of course, your car is more "unique" (not, to me, in a good way, either), but I would rather be smart with my $$$ than "unique" with my car. Just my $.01 worth.

ok im back from school to shed some light on the situation. i cant get pics right now because its at the shop getting its turbo professionally checked out and its going to get dynoed... (right now the shop manager went to sema so he'll be back sat) so i cant get pics of it right now and the new front end isnt on the car yet.
my goal is with the car is to have it perform and look good, meaning its my daily driver, show car, and track car. its jus a everyday have fun in car.
and BJOHNSTON i didnt spend 15k on my mods... only 6k, and i know you guys will think im spoiled but my parents bought the car and since its not paid off i cant trade it in or anything... and with the money and time i alrdy spent in the car i dont wana sell or trade it. unless i can get like a skyline for equal trade lol. so resale is not something im worried about.
everyone has their own taste and if i could choose my own car i would have prolly gotten a srt4, a used s2k, or even a 240sx
