Well I'm new to the Tiburon community. Just purchased my first Tib Dec 11...upgrade from my 04 Olds Alero with 100,000 more miles than this :3_shiny:. Loving it so far. To my surprise, it only had 32,000 miles on it. It had a 5-speed shifter knob on it, so I thought it was a 5-speed and kept wondering why 5th was so close to 3rd till I found a 6th gear lol. So I put on the OEM style Tuscani 6-speed knob on. There is proof that it sat a lot on areas of the body. The paint was pretty dirty n oxidized, as well as the carbon fiber hood. Spent 2 days doing rubbing compound, polish, n wax on the body to get it looking like new, though the carbon fiber on the hood still doesn't look to great. I think I may just paint it the same metallic black color as the rear wing since carbon fiber is such a pain to get refinished. The car had a few things already done on it: custom orange paint (I get comments out the rear on the paint job on the car), added the factory high spoiler, lowered, carbon fiber hood and front lip, 05/06 front bumper, cat-back exhaust, & brushed aluminum on the vents and controls. Since I've gotten the car, I've put on new tires, replaced the ugly steering wheel that the person before put in, HID lights, LED bulbs all around the car, replaced the factory sub with a 8" Sundown Audio (which I still need to get my amp installed to push it a little harder over the weak factory amp), cold-air intake, billet front grills, blacked out the taillights, chrome door handles (since I broke one lol), iridium plugs, and running Royal Purple 5W-30 engine oil. About to put in new red silicon radiator hoses in. Currently waiting on my new headlights with demon eyes to come in, as well as a few other little accessories. I do like how the front and rear look on the car but want to add side skirts(kinda leaning towards the Vader possibly), if anyone has any suggestions what I should put on. Might get some Volk racing wheels someday to add a little to the look and lighten it a bit. Hopefully someday have some money to do some major engine work...cam, pistons, intake manifolds, turbo, etc. Also, anybody know how to get hold of the baffles, or whatever they are called, for where the foglights go in the bumper? Please feel free to leave me any comments and even suggestions as u like. Glad to be part of the community now :3_wink:
