sup guys and gals...just picked up a 2013 sonata SE this past sunday at napleton in north palm beach, florida. bought the demo car there with 4,300 miles on it with absolutely nothing wrong with it.

definitely not new to the car scene, and not really new to hyundai either. wife has a 2007 tiburon which i've done little mods here & there to it but nothing major. had a 2004 accord ex fully loaded with about 20k invested and i sold it 2 years ago.

i've already got a few plans for the sonata but nothing major until the wife and I are back in our own place (staying at a relative's temporarily)

anywho, the following mods/DIYs are what I plan to do:
-escort radar smartcord for passport 8500
-20% tint and 50% windshield tint
-8000k hid's in low beam and fogs
-LED daytime running lights
-LED reverse lights
-full interior leds, with blue led underdash lighting and in cupholders
-plastidip black front grill, door handles, side trim
-remove sonata badge, plastidip black rear hyundai emblem
-Plastidip *custom color* stock 18" wheels

I already had the dealer remove the pinstripes and rubber doorguards and had them install the OEM rear trunk-lip spoiler. Also installed some 13-LED red turn signals on the rear lights instead of the amber bulbs.

Here are some pics from the past few days and I'll be sure to keep a photo log of the modifications as they go!

 

 

Looking good Rich! Keep posting up - we like this kind of stuff!

 

thanks! i've done a lot more mods this week too. i'm hoping to have a lot more done by thanksgiving and get some pics of everything up by then as well

 

Nice pictures>>welcome.

 

Looks nice. I like that color too.
I'm curious. Did you get a really good deal because it was a demonstrator? Hyundai was already offering some pretty decent rebates on the '13 Sonatas.

 

oh yeah. great deal and great negotiating on my end...i love it

 

good choice rich , keep on sharing the latest pictures.

 

hey rich, good quality pics. new hyundai owner myself. you sure there's not another shot or 2 you might have missed of the car?....

 

Good luck with your new ride I bought the same one a month ago 2014 iridescent blue , I did a lot of the plasti dipping your gonna do except handles and mirrors, personally think that mite be over kill , but to each it's own I'm sure you'll like the out come just make sure you put nuff coats and don't spray to far away I learned the hard way lol..Anyways good luck it your awesome ride .check mine out when you have a chance
