Blacked out the grill and silver trim around the windows with 900 degree VHT black satin caliper paint (the toughest and most resilient paint I could find), red caliper paint, de-badged the rear and Plasti Dipped the back emblem.

I just read, yesterday, that Hyundai is coming out with a line of N performance parts for the Veloster to begin with but is planning to come out with parts for its other "sport" models...Fingers crossed for our Elantras. I want more performance out of my GT but don't want to jeopardize the factory warranty.

Great job that looks amazing, the chrome on grille and silver around the windows were the only real exterior complaint I had the first time I saw the new GTs.

Thanks... It took a couple of days but I wanted to tape everything off right. I, like you, also had problems with the chrome and silver.

Looks really good!

Nice mods! How did you remove the rear badges? I'm very tempted to do the same for that low-profile look.

Have always preferred the de-chromed look and you've done an excellent job with the refinish. Looks like it came this way from factory. Good job.

did you find it difficult to remove the front bumper to chrome delete the grille? took a quick look at it and it looked like a bitch
