I3o conversion?
 
Hello everyone. I'm hoping to have my new SE Touring in a week or 2 and have been keeping busy looking for some goodies to personalize my new ride.
I saw a beautiful bodykit from Tomato where everything fits except the rear bumper.

My question is, is it possible to convert the rear of the Touring to that of the I30 by simply ordering a new hatch and lights?
I'm not really sure how much they actually differ so sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, just curious.:confused:
Thanks

No, it would take major metal work to convert an Elantra Touring (basically an i30cw station wagon) to a regular i30 hatchback.

Thanks.
Do you or anyone else, know of any aftermarket rear bumpers for the Touring?

The only one I've seen is Hyundai's i30 sport kit:

This pic is of the i30 hatchback but the front facia for the i30cw (Touring) is the same:

Here's the i30 hatchback rear:
