Genesis Sedan

I'm a big fan of sedans and 4 door cars. I've always thought it was cool to have a sports car and a powerful sedan. One for performance and one for trips. The Genesis Sedan is a homerun in my book. It looks as good or better than anything in its class. Check out this one with it's VIP inspired look.

GT30R 2.0t Coupe

SSR's and Tiburons

Here's two properly modded Tiburons from Korean. SSR Type C wheels are a simple motorsport design that looks clean at the same time. I'd like to see more Tiburons like this in the states. Notice the front brake kits on these cars also.

weekend hotties

A couple of beautiful Korean car show models because it's the weekend. It doesn't always have to be about cars, right? ;)



SMA suspension

The quality suspension brand from Korea is on a roll with suspension products for the Genesis. They make products for any car that is available in korea. I had a set of their springs imported for my daily driven Tiburon. The product quality is top notch. I'm sure you'll see this company available in the states once the Coupe has landed.

Blue BK

Take a look at this nicely fitted Blue Genesis Coupe. The wheels are Advan RG2 in SBC finish. The simple painted lip kit also adds a nice touch to the overall look of this BK.

aftermarket wheel options

Thanks to HKS we have some info on what to expect for aftermarket wheel selections on the Genesis platform. They are using 19x8 +30 in front with 235/40/19 tires and 19x10 +25 with 265/35/19 tires in rear. As you can see on the pics below there is still a bit of room in front for a wider wheel, and the rear has the possibility of running a lower offset 10inch wide wheel. Also playing around with tire sizes will help alot with going with a lower offset. The +30f and +25r looks like a farely conservative offset. I have a good feeling about this!




HKS Genesis Exhaust

Here is some of the first photos released from HKS of their new cat-back exhaust which will be available for the Hyundai Genesis Coupe. I'm sure we will see this exhaust along with many others stateside once the coupe is released. HKS is one of the first companies to come to the forefront of the aftermarket for the Genesis Coupe. Stay tuned to see what else they are bringing to us.

Zenon Dress Up

Alot of the first pictures and videos on the net of the Genesis Coupe have come out of the Korean tuner shop Zenon Dress Up. This is one of their new Genesis Coupe's that they were able to modify very quickly. This one is fitted properly with Gram Light 57 Maximum wheels from Rays Engineering.



what Korean car culture is...

In the states little is still known about the Korean car scene. The Korean car manufacturers have just recently started making a huge bang on American soil. When it comes to modifying these cars Korea of course does it best. The scene there directly reflects what you might see being done in Japan. Whether drift, drag, track, or show the Korean car scene is booming. Many of the aftermarket companies known in Japan and throughout the world have seperate divisions in Korea to cater to the tuning needs of people there. If you like cars that look good, drive good, and go fast then stay tuned in on these blogs. I will be sharing new info on the upcoming Genesis Coupe and the always popular Hyundai Tiburon aka Tuscani in Korea, and as the sedan tuning scene continues to flourish through VIP and sports tuning you will see some of that also.

thanks for checking in,
