The Post a Picture of Your Ride as it Sits Thread

[Coatingsarecrack]

To change things around a bit, make it more unique, easier to clean and smooth things out. I ordered the i30 badge from S. Korea for my Elantra and will debadge the ELANTRA lettering. I like symmetry and what you see here is a badge to the L and one to the R, plus people will say "...an i30, what's that"

The badge has a dotted "i" but it's one piece and you can see the connection. My cure for this is a very small strip of satin black vinyl and I'm going to have the dot finished in red, this way it mimics the N badge on the other side.

Sounds good and like the idea of “EDM” badge. Good idea on the red but what about mechanically separating the dot?

not really a fan of badges other than the brand logo, i like the clean look. if it were my ride, i would keep the H and N badge and everything else would go...

I like your thinking there Crack but thr very small amount of black, satin vinyl does 2 things, seperates the dot from the letter, to the eye anyways and lastly ties in the black and red in the flag behind the N logo

This is how the Swedish EU version looks like. I think it's a cool thing to have the i30 batch

Agreed with Mr Crack. That bike looks phenomenal, let alone for that mileage. Have you owned it since new?

Yup, bought it new in Vegas on May 7th '99. I live in the Mojave Desert so it's seen rain maybe 5 or 6 times at most. It's probably only had a couple of soap/water washers in all that time too. There was a fairly craptacular wreck at 5pm on Sunday June 12th 2005 that shut down the 5 freeway for a while & resulted in a new fairing & ducktail. Few other minor parts (on the left side): Clutch lever, ignitor cover, bar end weight, foot peg & a turn signal... plus some internal plastic parts for the speedo/tach housing. Got rear=ended by some idiot crossing 6 lanes of traffic to take the 210 connector at 90mph, I was in the 5th lane.

Wow. Those sound like scary wrecks.

Couple more interesting vehicles at work this week. A very short Land Rover Pick Up. Mechanically excellent, but the owner loves the external patina.

The other is an overlanding work truck, with a rooftop tent on top, so if you're working in the outback, you don't have to sleep on the ground with the snakes and spiders. Looks they've used a fair amount of tyre shine.
