Hell yeah! What are your plans for your Genesis?

[Franco Tirador]

some people are doing these cars up quite nice

Well, suspension + wheels is going to come first. That's probably all I'm doing to the appearance, other than tint and a possible front lip & CF rear diffuser. After that, I guess I'll move to bolt-ons (I/H/E) and an ECU reflash... and an HKS ssq somewhere along the way. As soon as I find the time, one of the first things I'm gonna do is take these headlights apart and paint the housings matte black. The silver/chrome is terrible.

No...


...A poor person would buy an AE86.

R U serious

Dead serious. Not to turn this into a pissing contest (again both look great) but where the G37 has flowing headlights, a bland side and cut off rump, the Genesis has detailing, detailing, detailing. The odd window drop adds to tension into the design. The rear is much more aggressive.

FYI the Genesis coupe beat the G37 coupe in a comparison in Road and Track.

I'm still amazed how the G35 Concept Coupe was just nearly perfect and when the production car came out, the small changes they made totally made it look very blah. The G35 looks much more aggresive.



I believe Hyundai got their own concept RIGHT.



Altima Coupe for comparisons sake

The base model bumper I much prefer to the "S" option.








Its clear the G35/37 offered inspiration for the Genesis coupe. Here are two pics of them together and you can see similarities and differences.

I can't believe I really prefer the looks of the Hyundai, seems more aggresive than the more feminine looking G37.

Both are good looking though.

I couldn't agree more. I think the G obviously has a more upscale look to it, as it should; the base G is competing with the top-of-the-line Genesis. The detail in the Hyundai, however, sets it apart.

QFT. I need to do this bad, the chrome/silver is horrible

[Elbow]

First ones posted are too low and wheels are ugly

[boosted_nonv]

Springs will be there around March 19th...

[ATK_Designs]

[tjmhillz]

they have grown on me.. at first i didnt like them. after seen some in person and done nice. they are not a bad platform. just hate not feelin the red.

[cpearson]

Wow, nice thread. Hyundai has come along way in the automotive industry with the Genesis.

I agree!The only thing i wished they would've done is made the Genesis coupe the replacement for the Tiburon(just call it a Tiburon), and come out with a more upscaled coupe to match the Genesis sedan.

Hyundai is going in a different direction. Tiburons 04+ are great cars (I owned one, and loved it), but Hyundai is clearly stepping up their game and I think giving the Genesis the same name as an older model would've kept them in the past.

I don't think so, so who's gonna by the Tiburon now when you got the Genesis coupe sitting directly across from it for a few thousands more? It's not like Hyundai made a offshoots of themselves like Toyota,Honda,Nissan with the Lexus,Acura and Infiniti brands and dealerships.

I agree with BKgen, Hyundai is trying to step up their game with their overall "look" and quality. And a Tiburon doesn't really help with that goal.

But who is going to buy a Hyundai coupe that cost 35k+ ? Which is more than their highest model Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track; which is $33k with nav, leather and all the bells and whistles? I sure as fuck wouldn't pay that much for a Hyundai; for that money I'd rather have the G37. It would be pointless for a company like Hyundai to make a "high end" coupe. People wouldn't buy it when they can buy a BMW, Audi, or Mercedes instead. Just my
I think it's crazy they have a 60k sedan already.

The Tiburon is discontinued if I remember correctly?

Genesis coupes are quickly moving up my list of fave cars. Very quickly. Nice pics you guys posted.

[claybird]

nice cars. Just think where they came from LOL

[Slow Motion]

I don't think I will ever like this car unless they change the front end.

[justwongit]

that sedan is coming out soon about i think sometime nov.. of this year or either next year... but damn i saw the concept model at hyundai school. that is nice.

Raybuck and Bkgen ya'll missed the point I was making. The Genesis coupe could've be called the Tiburon and the Genesis coupe woud've matched the sedan like the old Acura Legend coupe. Well if they discontinued the tibby then ok , but who would pay 35k for a Hyundai ? You would cause you brought a Genesis coupe which is still a Hyundai. Then you said it makes no sense to make a high end coupe? Why did the make the Genesis,Equus sedans because they're ready to enter the higher end markets at a cheaper price. What they did with the Gen coupe is take a page out of Acura book in 86 with the launch of the Legend sedan and the Integra at the same time. Upscale sedan and sporty econbox. The Equus is sweet, look out BMW,Audi,Lexus and Mercedes. The only thing i don't like in the wheels, they look like the Genesis sedan wheels.

I think it's crazy they have a 60k sedan already(quote)
Why the company been out since 86-87,Lexus 90 , Acura 86. The LS400 was 36k to start, the Legend was 26k, and the Excels 9k?

[sprix!]

Some very nice Genesis coupes in this thread. I think the OPs posted pictures of the red w/carbon fiber pieces is not the best, but I don't care much for carbon fiber to start.

As for too much emphasis on the wheels? Isn't that all most cars have anyway? Wheels, possible drop, and a lip of some sort? I see nothing wrong with leaving it there. Not everyone wants to have some sort of ultra modified and completely un-drivable show car.
