Had To Buy Another Vehicle

Well as some of you guys know i am currently in Germany with the Army and i am not allowed to bring my truck. So i put her into storage before i left and now i just bought a 2004 Hyaundi Tiburon 2Dr Coupe V6 4.0L I think? But anyways i think it was a pretty good deal i got on it. It reads almost 27k on it. I got some plans already for it that include paint haha. I will be doing most of the work myself either on post or at the house in the garage. I want to do some minor upgrades just to make it run better and be able to bring back to the states. Im not going to kill my wallet on this vehicle as my truck is still getting stuff done while im over here.

Heres some pics and if you guys have any questions or comment please feel free such Mods, things i should do, Things to look out for etc. I have never driven a car like this before so its a shock going from my truck lifted at 17inches and a lowered tiburon lol.

Ill be Re-doing the license plate bc i think it looks horrible.





What are you opinions on the rims? They are painted like this but should i go with all black or touch them up like this ?

thats a 4 banger in there, not a v6. looks good except for the rims and the intake. The filter looks like it could suck up water there.

Ok well then now i know. Which is no problem for me sense its just a daily driver. I want to get a CAI for the car to help it a little as well as run better. Im partial to the rims too. Im thinking of painting them all black while im here and if i ever get the money ill buy new ones but i doubt that will happen until after coming back home
