What's funny about the front end is that it looks completely different in person. Most people posting pics of the Elantra and even car reviewers film the car up close with a wider lens which exaggerates the proportions of the front end. The same reason you don't photograph someone with a wide...
Damn, nice ride man. White with bronze wheels would be my spec too. I would choose this over the Type R I think.
Did you think about the Elantra N at all? I have a white one in manual. It's bonkers for the price. One of the best sounding 4 cylinders around as well. It was tough for me to even...
No lift and no rubbing. Obviously had to take out the crash bars, though. I haven't seen what happens if I fully articulate it but I think I've seen people with the same specs and they didn't have issues.
Here's another pic:
Spare mounted just fine. The new wheels and tires didn't even obstruct the rear view camera so the 360 camera works just fine (wouldn't have been an issue if I had sasquatch since the camera mount is longer). The bumper supports just need to be extended so they touch the tire, though.
Falken Wildpeak AT3W is great. They're much heavier than Stock Goodyears, though.
Here's mine at 315/70/17 with 17x8.5 0 offset wheels. Non squatch Badlands.
But they do care, though. They speak with your dealer and follow up with them to make sure the issue is getting fixed. That's what various people's experience has been.
So, chill. It's better than most car manufacturers that don't even frequent forums.
Congrats!
17x9 with +20 would get actual tread past the flares by a decent amount I think.
I put 17x8.5 with 0 offset and the sidewall is poking a decent amount with tread still beneath the flares but just barely.
I see you have a Badlands. I recently slapped 35's (315/70/17) and 17x8.5 0 offset wheels on my non sasquatch badlands without doing anything to suspension. I only had to remove the crash bars. I also put on the sasquatch fenders. I haven't had any rubbing issues but I also haven't been rock...
Did you zoom in on those pics? Jeez there's soooo many dents. What would even be the cost of fixing hundreds if not thousands of dents? At what point do you just replace the whole hood?
I feel bad for those get get caught in these hail storms. It's my nightmare but luckily I live somewhere that...
When downshifting you need to blip the throttle to rev match to the lower gear. Once you get used to rev matching you'll do it without thinking about it and once you know your car you should be able to match the revs perfectly and won't need to feather the clutch.
Then, if you really wanted to...
When people complain about gas prices I like to remind them that we are paying the exact same amount we have been paying since the 70's when you adjust for inflation. :)

I don't think you can PPF it due to the texture? Not sure, though.
Just apply Griots 3 in 1 Ceramic spray. Super easy to apply and contains UV protection as well as crazy water beading ability. It goes on SO easy there's no point in using any of the other expensive ceramic coatings.
That's...
Interesting. I haven't had this issue. Make sure you buff the surface after applying to even it out. That's what I do and haven't noticed any splotchiness.
It's the safest and best product to use on our seats, though. It was literally made for marine vinyl. I wouldn't let anything else touch...
Mine was the same. I used Aerospace 303 on it and it looks much much better. Try 303 out before the cerakote stuff. It's good to have around anyways and you should use it on literally everything plastic or rubber on your car.
