Congrats! The car looks great but it will even be better once you start modding..

Seoulfulracing is actually a friend/hyung of mine. I was there for those pictures. He should be able to give you nice deals on most parts!

I late, but just wanted to say congrats! What a nice looking ride! I think it looks better than the G that I drive. BTW, you didn't miss out. The Gen Coupe looks better in white imo.

Are you the first a Acurazine with a Gen Coupe?

Yes, its a phenomenal car. I am actually contemplating getting one in the spring, though i might try to get myself into a 4.6

I just put on the Winged badge on his. It looks much better than the Large H on the back. I just wish they hadnt put 2 holes in the trunk lid to hold it on or there would be no badge.

they worked like mad to find him a black one with the chocolate interior. They said they would get him one. In the end it was going to be a 3 month wait. They had one with black interior and ended up giving him that because they couldnt get the one he wanted soon enough. Dealer was Zimbrick in Madison. They are a awesome dealer. They bent over backwards for me with my acura as well.

Between you and me, I'll take your G37 coupe all day next to the genesis! Not taking anything away from the hyundai, but, the G37 should have better long term reliability, and build quality. Its also, a little better refined overall. Besides, I'm 6' tall, and I found it really hard, squeezing into the hyundai.
