Just got an 08 Accent Apple Green!
Awesome car!
Only thing I dont like is the ashtray (I dont smoke). You cant use the area for anything else. It should have been made into a cup holder or something.

RE: Just got an 08 Accent Apple Green!
HelloI am new to this forum too. 2 weeks agoI got a apple green Accent also. The only options I got
was auto trans and AC-radio option. I took the rims off of my Honda del sol (16 inch) and put them on the new car. I had the rims powder coated white (their a universal rim style). I am looking at some window tint and just put on the factory "mud flaps". I was looking at cars when the truck delivering new cars showed up and had this apple green on on it. I just had to have it. I checked, honda rims fit on the accent but the center ring needs to be bigger, as it is in the universal rims. I have had it only 2 weeks and am enjoying it greatly. This wouldn't let me up load a picture, too large. Enjoy it. Clint Smith aka Clintmeister

AEM's idea of an SRI is just a cone filter that attaches to the MAF and a small bracket. It's a total waste of money. In my opinion, everything AEM makes is junk.

basically the sri from his explanation seems to me like as every day common language would be a cold air intake without the metal tubing between the throttle body and the cone i recently put an apc air intake on my 03 accent and i have seen an increase in power andsmoother shifting(manual trans)

glad to see another '08 Accent!! I just bought mine a week ago today and I think it's great! although driving on the highway it sounds like it needs a 6th gear!

That was something I always didnt like about the Accents. They have a nice little close ratio gearbox but the 5th gear is either too close or we just need a 6th gear. Think about it, how many cars have you driven in that cruise 65 MPH at 3K rpm?

RE: Just got an 08 Accent Apple Green!
yer point taken... I am used to driving a Chevy Caprice Classic.... i swear you could get that thing up to 65, take yer foot off the gas and it would idle in 5th gear and still keep speed... i just saw the focus SVT with a 6 speed... maybe hyundai could revamp the tranny and broaden the gears a bit, i know first gear is so short, like a granny gear in a big box truck... but nonetheless, i am happy with the car i bought, i plan on driving it till the wheels fall off!
