Well the masses have spoken and we shall produce. With 40.71% of the voting population, GKtib is July "Mild" COTM!!!

GKtib. The name is short and simple. The car is sleek and sexy. Nothing crazy here, just a nice classy looking ride. Ever since July of 2003, the quest to have the sexiest tiburon hasn't stopped. Gktib has put a great amount of effort into it, and much more to come.

As it sits now, the car's shoes are described as some of the lightest on the market. 17" Rota Sub Zero's custom painted bronze. As you know, lightweight wheels aren't any good unless they are wrapped with some good rubber and we're not talking about trojan here. The ever-so-sticky Falken Azenis make the term "traction issue" a thing of the past. Look inside those wheels and you'll see red painted calipers with white tuscani lettering, a very fine touch.

Making the car even more aesthetically pleasing is the Art Tech lip kit with the Road Runs Front lip. GK wanted to it to be his own, so he opted for the carbon fiber inlay. Tein lowering springs give the car it's aggressive stance, like a shark waiting for it's prey. Under the hood is an Injen cold air intake, and giving the car some tone is the stainless SSA exhaust. With all these scorching Texas summers, getting into a car with black leather is like doing a cannonball into a coffee pot. His Viper remote start alarm takes care of that problem, starting the car from over one-half miles away and getting the A/C blowing snowballs before he even gets in.

When asked why he bought the car GK replied "I bought the car with the intentions of modding it right off the bat, the tiburon is the underdog of the tuning scene, it doesn't have much respect, but that is the beauty of it all. Making a tib fast is a great thing, no one expects it to be fast much less beat them."

Dude, your Tib's tight. I love the body mods. I prefer the less overflashy look, so this is perfect to me. Looks like a sleeper with a little more aggression. Sweet job, man. Congratulations!!

Awesome car! I agree with having a remote starter... mine is a God-send! I've been eyeing the RoadRuns Lip Kit for a while, and seeing it on your car has made my decision for me... all I have to do now is find the money for it :m_BangHea

Anyways, totally love the look, and it's good to see a fellow Texan got the nod!
