Anyone modified their car's appearance?

Has anyone modified the appearance of their car with any body kits, lowering, spoilers, aftermarket exhaust, or other parts? If so, can you post pictures and show us what it looks like.

I was considering buying the RKSport body kit and putting it on my blue pearl 4.6 genesis.

Also, I have a general question on lowering a car. Just wondering the pros and cons of air suspension vs lowering springs. Any thoughts?

Finally, anyone know a source for parts for the korean version of the genesis? I read they had an air suspension system on the Korean version. I'm just wondering if you can buy that separate and have it put on here. Then you could get the cool lowered look without worrying about scratching the body since you could raise the car whenever you want.

ARKspeedracing.com has lowering kits for the Genesis.

Worldpartsexpress.com has lots of part much cheaper than the dealer.

So far I cannot find a source for the Air suspension for the Genesis, if you do please post or let me know by PM.

You might be able to get one of the Korean parts importers to get the air suspension parts for you (if you paid in advance), but it might take some work to figure out exactly which parts you would need, and then there is problem of that the air suspension is adjustable and having a controller integrated into the dash or console. If one these companies were really smart they come up with a air suspension kit using Korean factory parts to make the transition (although it may be actually too soft for even those who complain about the current suspension).

Another option is to wait about another month until the 2010 Genesis suspension parts are available, which are tuned a bit different the 2009 model (different spring/shock rates).

I don't have too much, I wanted to keep a clean look for a change, since I usually modify the car a lot. All I have is tint, HID fogs, and a rear lip spoiler. I guess I could include the quad tips, which are part of my MagnaFlow exhaust.

Scott, the rear spoiler looks good. Did you paint and install yourself? If not, how much did it cost? (I'm assuming that is the RKSport spoiler I've seen online?)

How does the magna flow exhaust sound? Does it give you that throaty V8 sound? Is it the same one used in the SEMA autoshow?

I had the company I ordered the spoiler from paint it for me. They did a good job. The thread is below:

As for the Exhaust, it's just two magnaflow mufflers to replace the stock mufflers and replaced the stock tips with magnaflow tips.

If you go to youtube and search 4.6 Hyundai Genesis Exhaust, you will find a video of mine. Than you can see the other videos I have on Youtube as well. I love the exhaust, it's perfect
