2 PB 10" w/ 600w PB amp and an ebay 1.5 farad cap, raptor wiring kit, all connected to the stock headunit through the low pass xover thing that ran me a whopping $15.

It's not a Civic, but it's nice. How do you like that audio setup?

Looks good, I gotta get the windows tinted on my Jeep. Then a lift, then a system.

Eh, it's mileage lol. I get about 15-17 city, but about 30 highway, which is nice. Too bad I almost never drive on the highway.

I honestly love it, with the exception that I have to control the bass from my subs with the bass feature on my stock headunit, which also controls the speaker bass. I plan on getting the remote bass, but haven't yet. That way, I'll run the speakers a minimal and be able to control the subs separately.

The only other things I really want to do are to get the billet grilles for it, to add a little bit of customization, and get my hands on a set of the '08 18"s, as apposed to my 16"s

I like it. Hyundai is gaining some respect in my eyes, seems like the quality is starting to increase. I know that the older Elantra's are not as reliable as Hyundai seems to claim. A friend of mine has one, and he always has problems, and with only 64,000 miles.

My mom had an old, old hyundai, like when they first came out. She said they sucked lol. Big time. But she also commented on their rising reliability, though she has only owned a lot of fords and a saturn and shit recently. I'll post a pic of her truck sometime.

The only problem I've had so far is that I like to drive it too much.

Winter is really nice though, with it's automatic 4WD
All around disks is nice too

I was looking at the 2008 Hyundai Accent hatch for a while....I don't think they're so bad.

Damn, that's some graduation present though! Best I ever got was like $20.
