The front-end is definitely very friendly looking




Seriously though, it definitely stands out in a crowd at night.

Bluestar that is the best looking Elantra I have seen. I love the stock design and this really makes it pop. Thanks for sharing!

What an improvement over stock! Looks very tastefully done IMO, although I am not a fan of the rear smile at all.

This Elantra looks like a predatory bird of prey. And I love it lol. Best Elantra I've seen to date.

The (white) LED smilie flashes (red) upon braking, and blinks (amber) when signaling. Utility and safety for cars behind me...

What kind of retrofit system did you use for the headlights? Any output shots on a dark road?

The car is looking good. Not a fan of the led fog light area i think the front would look cleaner with just the headlights. Have u seen the taillight options though??? There are some siiiiick taillights. I have a Sonata for the Mrs. and was looking around for a diff taillight.
