Carbon Body Tiburon - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #63292 21 posts Started by speedz
looks good, but i dont thinks its full carbon, it has to be just a wrap,,,,
X2...who the hell would spend so much money on a Hyundai?
does look like a wrap but looks good
I like tibby's a lot, but that's too much. Plus, they used the plain weave CF. Could of at least gone with a 2x2 twill weave.
yea...thats a vinyl wrap job...thats not real CF

and don't get so stuck on the brain wash of 2x2 twill...plain weave (REAL plain weave) can look VERY good. Many high end manufactures produce plain weave parts
CSL BMW parts are plain weave, as well as OEM BMW roofs are plain weave, Vorsteiner ect.

Really?!? Did not know that. Interesting.

About the 2x2 twill thing, just a personal preferenc.e I think it looks light years better than the plain weave CF. Double Twill is amazing but almost too busy.

I should say the tiburon was originally designed by the same guy...as of the latest generation I am not sure

That's a terrible looking sticker. Looks like cheap ebay crap. Knew it was fake immediately because of the way CF looks in the sunshine

you oughta do a little research before saying something like this.

2003 happens to be the year that hyundai tied honda for reliability ratings. im sure our celica isnt gonna last 3 times as long as a honda either.

Maybe yours cuz you have an ST. lol jk


IT's still a damn Tib, made by South Korean Honda knock offs and I have never seen a chick all over one. Chicks eyes and compliments are magnetized to my ride as beat as it is.

I agree with RJB with is first comment. LOL For real! But work with what ya got! Can't knock people for doing something different on a uncommon car. I Mean look at us, really.

91 MR2 Turbo SW20, 92 MR2 Turbo SW20, 95 Celica GT ST204
I think it looks really nice in the photo, that doesn't say what it looks like in person. I've always thought Tiburons look really nice, sometimes when I see a really nice one I'm like Ooh, what's that but then I see it's a Hyundai and in my head it's like womp wooooomp. I know Hyundai is doing great in reliability ratings, it really looks like they're working hard at boosting their image. I still just can't get past it though. Maybe it's because I remember Hyundais back in the day, when they first came out.

actually playr the celica with 5sfe is faster than the 2003/2004 4cyl tiburon and the celi handles better. my sister has one.

orly the top model US celica is a weeee bit faster than the base model US tiburon....great comparison laugh.gif

Neither car is bad....but you missed the point of my post...

don't be ignorant and make comments like "its just a tiburon"....and before you make such comments...look at the mirror and think real hard...
Yeah guys, don't be ignorant. Playr hates ignorance.

Alright, I'm done with being ignorant now.
04 4cyl tib 0-60 in 9.2
04 6cyl tib 0-60 in 8.2
94 5sfe celi 0-60 in 8.4
6cyl tib barely beats 4cyl celi and its 10 years newer
i'm not being ignorant haha but i can't believe you said "it kicks the 6gcs a$$ in every perspective"
