Probably do 20 again like I had on the MINI.
And metallic? I didn't know there was such a thing.

Our car defintely looks better with the spoiler or a lip spoiler. Unfortunately Hyundai wierded out, the 2012 2.0 R Spec had the spoiler an they did away with it, the only model on the refresh in 2013 that had it was the 3.8 Track which is what I bought (which is now called the Ultimate, go figure). I still cannot believe they did away with the 2.0 Turbo in 2015, that's just about the stupidest thing I've seen a car mfg. do. That was the bread and butter of the GC. Theirs pretty much zero mods for the 3.8 engine and tons for the 2.0 Turbo.

I'm trying to get a spoiler for my car. I'm hoping the one from the 2013 fits my car :dblthumb2:
 
The better grades of film have metallic in it, not only does it look better but lasts longer, look into it;)

The dealership could instal one ( $$$$), the key thing is it has a break light bar in it. Their are also some nice lip spoilers out there too. Less $$ and easy install. I have 20% on mine and it's just baout right, a little dark at night though.
 
Monica, there's a store on Ebay that sells replica spoilers that are painted OEM color. Usually I'm suspicious about such things but several guys on the CRZ site had em and they were spot on, check into that;)

I was just reading an article about the 2015 Sonata and they dialed the turbo way back for 2015, smaller turbo for better low-end response and it gets 2 mpg better on the highway, but the peak power is way off. I guess some of this stuff is due to tightening fuel economy requirements, although the gist of the article was the Sonata had gone from bold (2011) to boring (2015).

And after watching Back to the Future so many times, I thought 2015 was going to be the year of the Mr. Fusion option...

after you get the tint, apply some masking tape (non-tacky) across the window buttons so you don't accidently roll them down while the tint is curing. yes, it happens...

I guess you subscribe to the theory of break it in the way you plan on driving it. That said, two words for you Monica TURBO TIMER:p

Also, did you happen to ask about that metallic tint?

I think most modern setups don't really need those anymore... But thanks for looking out :dblthumb2:

As for the metallic, I asked the shop and th said they stopped using them. So no metallic tint.

I know you want more but doesn't the 3,8L already have alot more power to begin with, it seems nothing to sneeze at! I assume there's an exhaust and intake for it, right? That alone should make it a pretty stout performer!

I'd like to see them "wake up" the Veloster turbo some more, i.e. the Sonata engine in there which, IIRC, is the same engine in Monica's car, right? If not, get that power up to around 230 hp in the Veloster turbo, just sayin'!

Yeah I have the Injen Intake and Exhaust on it, defintely added some power and pep. Probably around 360HP now. Monicas Turbo has 275 and it's a different engine than the Veloster.

They make really quality stuff, the exhaust is really solid, 3" polished stainless X pipe etc.

I got one of the first intakes, they only made a couple in this wrinkle black then went to gloss black and polished silver. I really like the wrinkle black as it matches alot of the other engine compartment boxes finishes.

Mine never made it in the break-in process. At 20 miles on the ODO i was pedal to the medal. I simply could not help myself with the engine noise on the V6.. 36,xxx miles later I still love the sound at WOT.

Right now i have the K&N intake and the BTRcc ECU tune. 172mph limit ###!

I have the INJEN exhaust on my SI and love it:), thinking really hard about the intake
 
The intake made a HUGE difference on my car, I had it on before the exhaust. Much smoother power response. The stock air filter choked the engine/ air flow big time.
 
Go GenCoupes!

So I visited the dealership today getting my inspection stickers to match the registration :dblthumb2:

I also ordered new floor matts and emblems for the Coupe :dblthumb2:

Not sure what I'm doing about the spoiler... Could be a complicated addition. We will see...

I wish NJ would too. I made my salesman let me put the sticker on since I'd have to live with its placement for years to come. Mine is as low as possible. Heck, NJ inspection is emissions, it's barely even an inspection.

Also, Congrats on the car Monica!
