A few of you know but I bought a 2011 Hyundai Sonata SE last week.... we've been looking for a car for a while to replace the mustang my girl had before that I sold. Got a awesome deal and it only had 28,311 miles on it when I bought it and fully loaded with sunroof, navi, leather... Was a steal because the car is perfect not a single flaw anywhere.... will be doing mods soon as I pay the last $4K on it I owe after that it will be paid off and I will start on it... borrowed that little bit from my parents so I wouldn't have to pay the bank interest.

Only mod I plan to do right is a painted rear H emblem and don't know whether to do colormatched white or gloss black. I like the idea of the H blending in and looking hidden but the black would stand out... Opinions?

Yeah paint is amazing also its a Shimmering Pearl White.... paint looks like sparkling powder it's what I want to repaint my truck with some day. I also got the 2.4l instead of the 2.0l turbo.... would of been nice to have the turbo but deal was to good on this one and since it's the SE it has the sports suspension and handles amazing.

Car looks great. Just like my mom's. She has a 2014 Limited in that pearl white color. This is my wife's car. It's about to go on air. She's on fully adjustable coilovers right now.

Your wifes looks sick as tits thats pretty much how I want hers.. I'm ready to just give it a full makeover but like stated I have to pay off that last little bit first then it will be on like donkey kong. I've pretty much got it all planned out.... want to start collecting parts to put it on air.

I want it bagged so not a waste to me... I want to ride hellaflush when I'm in it and she takes truck anywhere she wants just fine so she could drive it low but it's to nice to have it as low as I want it. Would fuck fenders within a few weeks I'm sure I would too. I want the fenders to sit inbetween the rim lip and tires... Anyway ordered some 5K plate lights from VLED earlier... got the $25 ones so should light up the rear pretty nice.

Yup. Will look just like Cristina's.... minus those Vossen wheels, don't like those much but gf wants Vossen so we will see. I also want white grille vs black one.... but hers is bagged just like I plan to do mine.

Gf is set on Vossen but me not so much... they look classy but not aggressive enough for me really... will see what wheels I get as they will be last on list. I want it bagged before wheels that's for sure... If vossen it will be these because I love them just don't know if they're the right wheels.

I just always picture vossen as a classy wheel for big body cars. Love concave wheels. Anddddddddd now I'm gonna go watch the Accord video for the 1,003rd time.
 
Agreed. Hard to put a BBS style wheel on a big car. A honda civic or elantra maybe but the sonata is a good bit bigger looking so the wheels are a hard choice.

Just went on a journey through YouTube and google looking at wheels that would look good. Sooooooo many options. My vote goes to a concave 5 spoke. Can you put big rotors on a sonata? This E60 on D2s is so dope. Love the spokes and love the open design.

You sure can.... that's a Optima but they're the exact same cars just one is more luxury and one more for sport... same engines, susp and a ton more. Researching D2's now....
