Exterior Modifications

The outer changes have been subtle, but tasteful.

Ark Shorty Antenna
Replaced the stock fishing rod for this billet beauty.

Custom black housing headlamps
Thanks to New Tiburon for this DIY mod. The chrome behind the amber lens was blacked out as well.

Custom smoked taillamps
VHT's NiteShades was purchased from Summit Racing to smoke the taillamps. Light output is still great both day and night to keep the local authorities happy.

Hood spacers
In an effort to further increase engine bay cooling, longer bolts and washers were added to lift the hood cowl slightly for better air flow. Hardware was purchased from the local Home Depot.

KDM Tuscani emblems
Imported by KSPEC, the Korean emblems give a more classy appearance. The text emblems were left off.

Kyowa wheels
Gold 17" Kyowa Designs wheels enhance the overall appeal of the car. The black and gold look great together. Thanks to Brian of Hyper Auto Club for the wheel and tire package from Wheel Warehouse.

Lamin-X Lighting Kit
Gunsmoke film, precut for the tiburon, protect both the headlamps and fog lights. The headlamps started to have the notorious peeling problem and this helps to conceal it.

OEM metallic fuel filler door
The black one was fading, so the silver one took its place in hopes the finish on the silver will last longer than 6 months.

OEM mid-wing
Since this car came with the low spoiler, it was tossed in favor of the slightly taller one. It's still miles shorter than a park bench wing.

Painted brake calipers
The stock calipers were colored with a white base coat and a red VHT top coat to provide contrast to the gold wheels.

Sylvania SilverStar head and fog lights
These bulbs gave a whiter and brighter light output. The headlamps use a H7 and the foglights use a 9006 bulb.

Tein S.Tech lowering springs
These lowered the car -1.7 in. for the front and -1.3 in. for the rear. This is technically more of a performance modification, but since they're still relying on the OEM struts, it's staying with the cosmetics.

Tinted windows
There's "Limo" tint on the back three windows and "Dark" on the door windows. AcuTint has a lifetime warranty.

Toyo tires
Toyo Proxes PX4's wrap around the wheels in a 215/45/17 size, which is the standard size for mtx tiburons with factory 17's.
