Default Just bought my 2012 accent Gls two weeks ago

Plan on today
1. Accent debadge
2. Cold air intake
3. Wire amps to stereo

Soon plan on tinting windows, wheels ( 17" or 18"), exhaust (resonator delete, muffler).
Not sure on lowering. Any thoughts?

Default Lowering

Thanks for the input. I will not be lowering it then however if I plan on making it go faster. I would like it to handle cornering better, coilovers maybe? Any suggestions.

I have performed the following....
1. Debadge
2. Cold air intake ( cost me about $70 to do and was very easy)
3. Wired amps to stereo
4. Resonator delete, ( adds a little more rumble to the car, not to much though.)

Thanks to all who have posted here giving me insight and answers to questions I have had.

Love to hear a sound clip of your exhaust after the resonator delete. Going to do a custom Cat-Back over the next month or so. Would love to hear from everyone what your thoughts are on the exhaust. Once area I am not sure is if I want to show a nice exhaust tip out the back left or keep it stealth and hidden like the OEM system. What do you all think?

I would leave it as stock looking as possible. the more "stock" it is the less questions from the dealer on waranty issues.

How does the car do with the 17s and is it throwing off your speedo?
