Just thought I'd share some links to some cool things going on in the tuning world in the homeland. I'm half-literate in Korean so I started searching for mods in the Korean internet. Found some cool stuff:

I'm going to go for this white and black storm trooper look eventually. Already Plastidipped the grille and fog rings black and the emblems white.

Wanna make my DRLs run like this guy. LEDs only:

Yea, I've been wanting to do something like this too, but I have no idea how to get the bumper off first...

Also, our Canadian cars don't run with LEDs only in DRL mode. Anytime the car is in motion, the inner highbeam lights come on at a low setting for DRL--regardless of light switch position. Super annoying and redundant if we have LED DRLs. Are your US cars the same?

I'm not sure, I do not have DRLs.

I need to see if I can find a parts list with part numbers for this. Also, I wonder if it took any modifications. Google translate doesn't do to well with Korean lol.

Wished I could read Korean or at least find a vendor to buy that front bumper kit

I also really like this one. I wonder if there's a way to order it. I like how it's a lower profile than the stock and the LEDs are pretty cool too! :biggrin2:

I think by lower profile you mean the Koup style grille and bumper combo? The other post shows the same thing. A sedan taking on the Koup grill and bumper.

I would like to find what that shifter comes out of that's pretty slick http://blog.naver.com/hidexcrew/220254118274

I would be happy will the front end off this car. So if anyone has this 2014 or 15 front bumper and wants a koup front bumper lets trade lol. Either way it will need to be painted.

New OEM is $210 then you need to buy the grill inserts fog lights and emblem, so you would easily spend $450-500 plus paint. I would much rather spend a little on gas do a swap and pay for the paint.

That is a lot for just the LED border lights, it would be a good deal if it was the projectors to go in the high beams and LED lights. I was going to bake mine to open them up to black out the chrome but they don't fit in a standard size oven.
