Love the pictures! Carbon fiber looks really clean and well done. Exhaust sounds lovely on startup and idle, but a little to raspy for my taste when reved.

Rims are a good mod I'm selling some chrome 18" rims if your interested.

Other than rims, and ride height its looking pretty clean! Have you looked at getting FL headlights? They look so good and add a new feel to your car. Also headlight eyeliners add a aggressive look (you can make them yourself too)

 

Really like that picture in the woods, look's like a good promotion photo

Interior looks good also, but one thing I noticed - seems like you have a small knick on the corner of your front bumper there. I'd get that done as soon as money allows it. Nothing I dislike more than chipped or scratched paint.. and it's so expensive to fix too
EDIT: Nevermind... it's not a damaged paint job it's the reflection of your legs and feet ahahaha

Agree with matix, look into getting some plasti dip for the eyeliner for your headlights, would look SHWEET

 

Thanks guys

I'm searching and collecting some cash for the rims+tyres.
My top 3 are 5zigen 527, XXR 530 and Rota G-Force.
Graphite / Gray / dark silver 17" would be perfect.
for e.g. look here http://www.newtiburon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3918416&postcount=366 (silver Tib by Bluerd2)

FL headlights are good! but their price isn't so ....
I planned few mods to my headlights and save money for other more important mods.

I'm going with black/orange palette with my Tib I do not want to clean completely my corners.
I came up with an idea to use a dremel and cut the orange plastic inside and leave a small piece of it like in FL headlights.

Since the headlights need to be open I decided to put angel eyes too.
And polish the glass to get fully clean look.

After that I will think about badlook eyeliners but for now I must say they're not in my taste

*For any language mistakes - sorry

 

Nice, love the carbon details. Could you take a picture of the entire rear? I would love to see how that looks so I can steal the idea.

Some suggestions (I read too fast over your previous post, some are on your TODO list already):
- If your car has a Immobilizer remove that metal ring around your ignition NOW. It messed up my BCM on my previous Tib.
- Rims are a great idea, but expensive and you'll probably need a drop as well. Maybe paint or plasti-dip them for now?
- Removing the amber turn signals inside the front headlights is also a cheap (but hard) mod that makes a big difference. While they are open, put some CCFL angel eyes in there.

Your car reminds me of my previous Tib in the beginning. Maybe you can get some inspiration from it:

Metal ring around ignition is not metal It's an aluminium-like sticker. But thanks for the warning!

Rims are a must have despite the costs. I will leave these for my winter set and maybe refresh their look with a new paint (but still silver).

Clear corners will be done within a month but I'm confused now - CCFL or SMD rings?
Most people recommend SMD...

The only extra shot I found with carbon finished is this

If you want some details tell me, I can shot something in few minutes. If that's ok for now please wait for some proper photoshoot

 

I like CCFL more because they give out an even glow, but they are delicate to place and need an additional inverter. I'm not sure how long SMD rings are supposed to last?

I'll be able to wait for the proper photoshoot, but it better be good!

Well here it is!
As you can see I added some details to my "orange project".
Now it's noticeable - brake calipers, rearview mirror, side mirrors, and orange indicators.

Photoshoot #1 Nov 10​

Hope you like it!

PS. Angel Eyes CCFL ordered from ebay, but delivery is approx. december ... :|

 

I will do my best
That's kind a motivation I must thank you for. I promised so I must hurry before first snow.......

Do not know anything about rings but even glow sounds perfect.
I definitely do not want to see separate diodes - I am looking for a lightning stripe, like a Jedi sword
like in this DIY tutorial > http://www.newtiburon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60355
Yours looks cool too!
So.... CCFL?

 

Well worth the wait, great photographs! :good:

 

Loving the fiber on the inside.
Pictures also remind me I need a better camera :x

 

Soo... I've touched thing or two this week - As my b-day gift I baked my headlights

Cooking, clear-cornering, CCFL angel eyes and painting to be precise.

Here are the effects.

I wanted to get as close as possible to FL lights, so I cut my orange plastics to the FL shape (so it fit my black+orange concept), painted the lamp with satin/matte black and installed AE. Whole operation took 3 evenings and it was SOOOOO worth it!
I love the outcome, hope you like it too

Polishing the lights to get crystal clear effect is scheduled to early spring, after the anti-snow salt and sand does its thing :/ .
Greets!

Wow awesome job on this man, very nice work

Clean tib all around, the wrap looks good too! i have done quite a bit of wrapping in CF vinyl lol

 

I've never seen anyone cut the reflector into the 05-06 shape, that is very creative! They look really nice. I was thinking of getting a set of CCFL's soon

 

Mate those lights look amazing! I am definately going to give that a go for my lights!

 

Nothing new, just enjoyin my car.

 

Wow, very nice look on your headlights! Im looking to do that soon!!! OH and great idea on the strip around the mirror post!

 

Thanks man

Another details got its way:

- Stickers
- Gray leather shift boot with orange stitching to fit my black/orange project

 

I realy like modified headlights, they look very nice. Are you sure car was imported from california? Americans don't have rear foglights. Or did your brother had to replace rear bumper because of the fogs?

 

Yup, rear foglights had to be mounted right after the car was imported.

Recently I ... got a wife.

We decided to use our Tiburon as our wedding - car so I had to make some modifications.

First I bought new hood/bonnet because my previous one had damaged paint really badly.
Painting allowed me to shave the emblem to get cleaner front-look.

Secondly I refreshed my poor wiper-arms (?) with matte black paint so it fit my brand new hood

Finally - I bought new wheels!
18" Tomason TN9 8,5j wide are the chosen one. I fitted new set of Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta XL 225/40/18 it looks awesome. Un/fortunately wheels look a bit worse on shots than real life but still much better than Hyundai 16". On stock suspension it rubs slightly only with full trunk + bigger pothole.

Here are some action shots.
Expect some serious photoshoot soon

 

Congrats on getting married! Car looks clean too!

 

Sorry for hijacking your thread but I used my car for wedding two years ago to haha :grin2::grin2:
Welcome to the club man :3_wink:

 

Thanks )
Haha, Zenin, very good choice!
I'm so proud I pushed my mod-plans to the max! I would never achieve those without such a motivation.

 

Ženin means groom VW passat in which my wife was driving had different license plate sticker. After the ceremony we were both in my car.

 

Cleaned, waxed, polished and with new wheels (also waxed).

Love! <3

 

Your car is so clean it's ridiculous. Excellent photos as well, I appreciate this!

 

Thanks man! I really appreciate your opinion (watching your thread <3 )!

New toys landed in my car.
I wanted to tune up my audio system a bit and cause I was short on money and wanted to keep all my luggage space....
I decided to go with Mazda 6 OEM subwoofer made by BOSE.

It fits spare tyre and sounds really nice for it's price (bought sub + amp for ~50 dollars.) Soundproofing the trunk was a bulls-eye and now it sounds even better!

Unfortunately my crappy headunit LG has only one output so I had to buy a new one to connect the sub. The choice was obvious - maximum sound settings to perfectly configure low, mid and high frequencies for the clearest sound. Alpine.
(I am a fan of rock/alternative concerts so killing my ears with looow bass wasn't the thing)
To help my OEM speakers (which will be replaced within few months) I soundproofed doors. And again it was a brillant idea - no more plastic squeaking!

I know it's not "high end" but for low budget project I couldn't do anything better. Soundproofing both sides and trunk + sub + amp + head unit finished below 250$ and it was reallly well spent money.

 

I have the same stp insulation in my car. Remove rear quarter panels, plastic parts on the sides od rear seats and put some of this insulation on them, it will reduce rattling sounds.

 

Driving through one of the biggest storms I've seen inspired me to do some shooting.
Got soaked, cold but happy
Want more?

 

few more

My favorite picture is the 2nd pic in the first post (w/lights on) I also saw it on Instagram yesterday. Seeing your pictures makes me wish I never sold my Nikon D70s years ago.. poor decision :crying:
