So, son is away at basic training/tech school for the USAF until November. Prior to departing basic, he drove a 2016 ford focus SE. The day I dropped him off at MEPS, I sold his car and started my hunt for his VN. Quick backstory, his first car was a Veloster turbo. Purchased used, but had a ton of tastefully done mods. He loved it until one night, a driver ran a red light, hit him and then ran. His car was, unfortunately, totaled. We couldn't find another V that he liked, so we went with a ridiculously low mileage focus with the understanding we would update it down the road. Well, little did he know, I have been planning this for 2+ years.
I take delivery of his VN on Saturday July 30th. Was supposed to go up this week to get it, but Covid had other plans. Can't get it next week, so we pushed out to the 30th and Hyundai of Asheville is gladly holding it for me. Side note, if you are in the area, don't hesitate to hit them up. They were great to work with.
Car:
'22 Ultra Black Veloster N
Initial mods, already ordered and en route to me:
Window tint being installed next week by dealer. Legal on front, 15% everywhere else
Custom Car Grills mesh grill
Diode Dynamics interior strip lights
Rally Armour mud flaps, Black/Red
N75 Motorsports red "side skirt" badges
Premium Auto dark black Amber Deletes for front end
AeroBlitz splitter, side skirts, rear spats and rear bumper extended(Want APR, but just can't get past the carbon look)
Boomba Catch Can
Tail light tint kit(haven't found one pre-cut yet, but I am sure they are out there)
Velossa Big Mouth snorkel, red
Hella Horns, red
Custom Center cap "Red N's"
NRG Lug Nuts
SKAR Audio EVL 10", Ported
SKAR Audio RP1200.1D
XK Underglow LEDs with grill strip added.
Others:
Going to just paint the factory wheels black for now. Wheels are something that I want him to pick out so I am standing down and will at least paint the factory ones
Having the silver trim piece on the front grill painted(still deciding on black or red)
Having trip pieces on lower left and right grill area painted red to match other trim
Still on the fence lowering it. I want to, but also, kind of want to see how it looks with the mud flaps and splitter/side skirts/rear spats to see if it needs it
Once I pick the car up, will post a pic here of it in factory form, then hauling it out to the shop to remove the front end and put it up on stands for probably 30 days or so while I receive parts and put it back together. Looking to only have to take the bumper off once, so it will not be drivable for at least 30-45 days after I receive it.
