Nice upgrade! I'm definitely a fan of the styling, and I've always thought the track package was the way to go. Does this happen to be an R-Spec though?

Either way, I like the way you're going with it. Nice and clean and the exhaust tips look pretty good :yesway:. Once you get the new grille it'll help even more.

 

The R-Spec is a different trim level. Clicky

I have a Luxon grille on order (for a month now), it's been a real Charlie-Foxtrot clusterfuck trying to get it from Importshark, but this is exactly what it will look like. Coincidentally, it is on an Interlagos Yellow Genesis Coupe, too.

 

I'm so glad you went with the 2010, it looks so much better than the newest model. The yellow is sweet as hell and the exhaust set up you just put on looks amazing. Keep posting as you do more.

 

My next car, I already have 6k saved. Only a few more months with the eclipse... Looks excellent and I'm glad you got the 3.8 not the turbo

 

My only 2 requirements were that it be a V6 and a manual transmission. The Interlagos yellow wasn't my first choice of color but it slowly grows on you. The 2013-Up models with the different front end just look weird to me, but they did get direct injection so I'm still a little bit jealous. I got a good deal on this one and it was a Track Edition so I jumped on it.

Future Mod list:
-Grimmspeed phenolic plenum spacer
-AEM DryFlow drop in filter (well designed stock airbox can stay)
-Lamin-X 30% smoke tail light vinyl wrap
-ECU tune w/top speed limiter removed

 

Congrats on the new car. I've always loved them especially in yellow.

 

Nice pick up on the Genesis. The only Hyundai car that I like. :lol:

 

5 years ago you COULD NOT have paid me enough to drive a Hyundai and the mere thought of it made me vomit in my mouth. Then, Hyundai pulled a 180 and really got their shit together. I drove it and said I'll take it. I've had a few remarks that "it's a Hyundai..." but usually they shut up once they go for a ride or drive it themselves. The smile on their face says it all.

 

Nice pick up

 

That 3G was in nice shape for it's age.

Enjoy the purchase, a fun ride no doubt. The pic of you working under the dash while inverted in the seat bought back painful (to my back) memories of doing the same in my T/A.

 

nice ride.

i'm surprised that's called a 'laser parking assist'--- last i heard, laser was mandated by the FDA, so there are no legal complications of blocking a laser speed gun...

 

Sounds like you read my post in the OT. They are called "laser parking assist" thingymabobs because 1) it actually is a functional parking assist which I obviously didn't buy it for (but hey, it's not a bad thing to have), and 2) it came from the UK where it's illegal to jam LIDAR. In the manual it states that if it encounters any interference it will attempt to jam it in order to maintain proper operation so you don't "park too fast". :fawk:

 

Ahh yes, I kind of figured the R-Spec was yet a different trim but hey, never know.:ninja2:






:lol:

I do really like the grille you have coming, it'll look great.:yum:

 

Looks like the grille will be put on hold for a few months, had to cancel the order. I received orders to transfer to a different military installation for training for the next 3 1/2 months so I won't have the time or resources to switch it out.

 

My only issue is that currently as it sits, my LIDAR jamming system is untested, and it's not exactly like it's a great idea to approach a Highway Patrol Officer and say "Hey, do you mind trying to get a speed reading on me with your LIDAR gun to see if my jamming sytem to avoid you people works right? Thanks, bro."

 

Just an update since August.

Got a bunch of stuff.

Made my own grounding kit with some 4awg wire from KnuKonceptz

Installed EBC redstuff pads so my Brembos actually stop as they should.

Drained and refilled with all Redline driveline fluids.

Transmission

Rear differential.

Put 30mm and 20mm wider tires on it. General G-MAX AS-03's.

Ignore the plastidip under the corner that I've been too lazy to remove.

Clay barred, polished, sealed, and waxed.

Random photo by the local castle.

And on the more professional side of things, I quite literally survived the cut as on tv and earned my maroon beret.

 

congrats on the promotion!

and i'm jealous of your car...

 

Thanks. I actually didn't get a promotion through the course, just the title of a "Nightstalker", but I am due for a promotion in the new few months so close enough. :yesway:

Love this car still

Thanks man. I get nothing but compliments over it and it's a ton of fun. The 3.8 V6 is the way to go in my book, and the 2013 and on model lineup gets direct injection so instead of a measly 314hp like mine has, they get 348hp. Not too shabby for a Hyundai.

i missed the part about the tires-- you'll like those. it's the 4th set i know now including my car.. and they're cheap! :lol:

They are pretty awesome so far. I'm running 275's in the rear and 245's up front. stock is 245 and 225, respectively.

Me and Masta560 have them as well haha.

 

Absolutely love it! :drool: This is the exact car I am upgrading to after graduation...either in this color or Mirabeau Blue. I even joined the gencoupe forums already so that I can really get a feel for the car :lol: Anyways, keep up the great work and continue to give us updates! What's next on the mod list?

 

Ya know, the Interlagos Yellow was NOT my first choice of color, but damnit it grows on you! That and it's stupid easy to find in a parking lot. The only downside is that since there just aren't all that many Gen Coupes out there, people always know where you are :lol:. The grey color (can't remember the name" looks sharp as hell, and I kind of like the green, too. I've only seen one green, ever. I'm on the Gen Coupe forum, also. Same username.

Next up on the mod list is probably an ECU tune from SFR whenever I get around to it, which increases HP/TQ/MPG/driveability, eliminates the top speed governor (152mph) and completely turns off any computer assists (stability control, etc) when I manually turn off the TCS. Stage 2 clutch with a lightweight steel flywheel (not aluminum) to get rid of the OEM dual-mass clutch that is a total pain in my ass and ~$2,900 in parts alone to replace from the factory.

Nice pick up, needs black headlights.

Any plans on new wheels?

I've been looking at the headlights unsure of what I want to do with them in the future. I definitely want the rear lights smoked, but I think I'm going to get some vinyl film to do it so it looks even and perfect all over and is must less work than VHT Niteshades which can come out bad and more or less ruin a set of expensive tails. Lamin-X makes pre-cut vinyls that I'm looking at, my only concern is that I personally do not want to make my brake lights dimmer because I want people to get every bit of help they can to see my brake lights go on. Lets face it, the general public and average driver is fairly retarded. :agreed:. As far as wheels, I really do like the stock 19's that come on it quite a bit. No plans in the future to upgrade but there are a metric shit ton of wheels that look great on this car. I would love to lower it, however my ARK Racing exhaust sits extremely low to the ground and without getting it modified I'd be hitting it constantly. I already hit it on certain speed bumps. :ninja2:

P.S. I'm moving near Savannah, Ga at the end of the week for both of you Georgians.

:agreed:

 

Very nice

 

Thanks! :yesway:

And moved to Members Rides forum.

Ahh I should have put it there when I made it. Thanks, though! :wavey:

 

And moved to Members Rides forum.

 

I simply LOVE this car, and hell yes if you guys wanna meet up count me in.

 

Yep HAAF. We can meet up in the next few weeks. Gotta do something on Memorial Day weekend!

I start working my part time job only weekends starting Memorial Day weekend.

We can still try to get something set up.

 

Definitely :yesway::agreed: I want to feel established ASAP down there and have some car guys to hang out with.

I really like the Genesis Coupes and I considered one before getting our Evo X. Your car has very tasteful mods and looks very clean. I really like the Ark exhaust. I have considered getting the DT-S exhaust for the Evo, but have to wait for some funds to free up. By far one of the best built exhausts around.

Keep it clean!

Five years ago you could not have paid me enough to drive a Hyundai, when I took a Genesis for a spin I was astounded and had to get one. Lucked out in finding a Track Edition and I absolutely love it. I try to keep everything tasteful considering my job needs me to appear very professional at all times, too. The Ark exhaust is phenomenal in that it has the helmotlz resonators welded onto the mufflers which counter-resonate the drone associated with many aftermarket exhaust systems. Under normal driving conditions it sounds similar to stock but under WOT it sounds very aggressive, yet clean. Had nothing but compliments from everyone on everything from the body style, interior, performance, sound, you name it.
