just fyi: bf.goodrich, uniroyal, and hankook are brands owned by Michelin.
specs are to price points, as to design, tread depth, and where they are manufactured.
the Mavis store brand all season tires that replaced the stock P0 ones with are a store chain brand made by hankook.
which allows them to be priced below usa made brands, or top brand michelin. i checked both costco and BJ's for michelin and b.f.goodrich but ran into supply chain issues. i discovered after buying tires that i could have gotten yokohama avids from amazon. better tire, better tread, but much more costly. (maybe next set).

I've messaged a few companies, and there have been a few posts online about others as well.

AFE/SXTH plan to have their intakes out around June/July, SXTH is currently working on their intercooler, they have a Rear Motor Mount, Catch can, and I'm pretty sure the VN down pipe fits, I've seen it listed a few places. There's also some Blow off/By Pass valves available if you're in to that.

Lap 3/SXTH have ECU tunes, people are starting to play with the JB4 stuff as well.

I'd say we're in for a year long wait before we see anything really coming out, especially with supply chain issues, I can imagine getting stuff is pretty difficult right now. Its also more likely the EN sees development a little more quickly then us. I'd also love to be able to get some of that N Performance stuff in North America. The forged wheels and bigger brakes would be killer!

You can get cross drilled rotors from R1 rt now for this and I plan on getting some--have had them on several cars--including a 2020 stinger GT 3.3TT which I took to the local drag and had to make several stops from 120 mph to 15 mph--no fade--no dust.Catch cans are not needed --use premium gas and run these vehicles at decent speeds--70 mph plus on the HWY at least every 2 weeks--change the oil at about half what hyundai says--4k.I plan on doing light mods that stay under the warranty--car is already fast enough for a DD and is capable of beating some cars a few classes above it.I just bought one 2 days ago and it is great.

I did a recent fillup st Costco, adding about 5/8 of tank of regular to remaining premium. no loss of mpg.
similar to turbo 1.6 in that plus 89 gas gives you better power and mpg in hotter weather. no need to spend extra 25 cents a gallon on 91 or 93 octane. since Costco doesn't sell plus, you can mix your own with 1/4 or more premium and rest of regular. much more important to use Top Tier gas.🧐

Hey guys, new here and thinking about trading my q50 in on one of these Kona Ns.

I realize this car is pretty new to NA but there doesn't seem to be much aftermarket for it.. do you guys think that will get better? Even the veloster N does not have that great of an aftermarket from what I've seen. Are the N performance parts(monoblock brakes & forged wheels) orderable through the dealer when ordering the car? I tried to see them in the build and price tool but couldn't seem to find them.

Thanks!

You can get a down pipe, full exhaust , intercooler and bigger upper and lower intercooler piping with blow off valve , cold air intake for the Kona N , Elantra N ,also for even the N-line cars and heck, even a base Elantra or accent.
You don't need to wait a year or even hope someone starts making those parts you want.
Go get them made yourself!! That's right, go custom with everything. Any performance shop that knows about and builds cars can make all those parts I listed for you. You can get just as nice and maybe even a nicer set of downpipes and full exhaust from a good performance shop or any custom muffler shop. A muffler shop could even make you up a nice front mount intercooler if they are willing and can weld lol.
Sometimes parts are just not available and got to do whatever etc it takes.
I have a 92 Sonata , 500 HP+ fully built. Ok sure I swapped a built 4g63T motor in it etc etc but things like a full turbo back 3 inch exhaust system all custom bent because nobody makes/made an exhaust like that for a 92 Sonata lol. Same goes for my intercooler and piping, my custom made sheet metal intake manifold and so on . All custom made to fit my car my engine bay . It's been in storage since 2008 but hopefully one day she will run again.
Only tuning is what you need for some specialist to make and sell, but even that can be bypassed if you run an aftermarket stand alone ECU set up.
No need to be scared of getting custom stuff , it works the same as buying the parts off the shelf .
