some changes will be made!

well some of you guys seen my 2010 genesis coupe. well it was starting to look a little on the "ricer" side and just wasnt doing it for me any more.

so i sold off the carbon fiber hood and the 18 inch tenzo wheels.

i upgraded the wheels to the factory 19 inch track/rspec edition wheels.

now im going to be picking up a factory hood if i can find someone local so that i can start a nice little custom project for the coupe. if i can pull it off i think ill be the only one with a genesis w/ cowl hood. not going anything major just something nice like the wide cowl hoods they make for the 4th gens
below you can see a quick sketch i drew up.




back to a factory look








cowl hood sketch followed by a pic of the style hood im trying to go for on my coupe







and my reasoning behind even considering beside the ricer look is i also found this pic of my car basically stock when i had it down in florida last summer and i just loved the sliver wheel look over the black. the black made the wheels look tiny compaired to the stock 19s.
anway this is my coupe a year ago but with the stock 18s





and before i get the comments about why i spend money on wheels and all to just change them i got them at a great deal since my car got t boned by a c6 vette and had to get rebuilt. thats what 13k worth of damage looked like lol but i do have to say the car drives even better now than when i drove it off the lot. go figure!
