So far, I have. (Only had the car three weeks)

Stereo (CDX-GT420IP Sony CD receiver with ipod Direct)
Hood Deflector
Keyless Entry (on monday)
Unhooked the Door chime
Removed pin striping
Removed dealership vinyl logo.


Items i will be adding.

Rain Guards (if I can find them)
SRI intake
Chrome handle covers.
Hyundai Accent Center Fascia Metal Grain ($78 bucks, a bit pricey)
Hyundai Accent Metallic Fuel Door (maybe)


I would love to get a few more things done, but there just is not much
out for the G3 Accents yet. And some things are just over priced.
For example the gas cover upgrade, you can get one for the Tiburon
for $65, but for the Accent it is $142!!! WTF

Wonder if the Tiburon would fit the accent.. I'm pretty sure they're all pretty close in size.

It's not about the size as much as the curve of the body
where the gas cap is.

And that pricey lil gas door is made of............ high quality "PLASTIC"!!! I want the oil cap but the price is ridiculous. I also love the blue steering wheel cover, but again pricey.

Garage section will let you list mods as well as post pics. Just FYI.

iPod holder (from hyundaiaccessorystore btw)
ScanGauge (first version)
Llumar tint, 35%
Sirius Sportster Replay tuner w/ FM Direct kit to connect to antenna, XM Micro antenna
Disable A/C during defrost hack
Chrome valve stem covers (yeah, great mod there! :w00t:)
Small Apple sticker on the bottom corner of my back window. :P Another great mod. lmao

I'm really not one to mod, past experience dictates that my cars live a longer, happier, more reliable, squeak and rattle free life if I'm not constantly dorking around with them. The car in stock form is pretty much perfect, it has practically everything I really need. Granted, I'd love to put in some blue under dash LED's, find a way to rig up some DRL's, maybe add the factory fogs, swap out the horns.... But no thanks, I'll leave it the way it is, I'm not about to go tearing into a car I still have 3 years to pay on, it'll only spell trouble for me. :grin: Sorry to be a party pooper, most of youse guys are all about modding the snot out of yours and I just can't bring myself to do any of it. lmao

Might be the way to go, although i was hoping for cover that went over the whole sill, not just 18" or so.

I had a GMC tracker some time back, i was able to pick up some rubber ones for that, and it covered the whole top sill.

It sucks living in America and not being able to get all the cool parts. Sometimes I wished I lived in Europe just to be able to get a car that is awesome and not available in the US.
