Got mine from this guy on eBay too. They are genuine Hyundai parts and in factory packaging! Not bad for $16 when the dealer ask for $129 yikes! :surprise:
Install was under 2 min out in a snow storm.

Good on you for claying first. Allot of people don't and later regret not doing it. Some don't know about claying at all.

K & N installed and is quite a bit thinner than the OEM Unit. Definitely less restriction with the K & N. No noticeable increase in intake noise, thought the engine feels more responsive. I can't say for sure about whp increase unless dynoed but seat of the pants does feel a more responsive engine. The OEM unit is nearly two inches thicker in depth. One of the only other ways to tell is to do a 0-60 timed acceleration tees with both filters. That's in the works once it quits raining and clears up.

Please keep in mind, I'm at over 5700 ft above sea level. So results my vary for others.

Everything installed except for the Window Deflectors. Getting too hot in the garage so, I'll do them tomorrow and post photos. Mud guards took about 15 minutes. Took my time and used the correct tools. Everything there to accomplish installation without any problems.

Which window deflectors did you get? I'm going to need some for mine.

Took my Kona for a drive with a friend to show it to him. We ended up on a long back country gravel road that I wasn't familiar with but no issues - the car handled it fine. I was noticing an annoying rattle but realized after awhile it was my sunglasses rattling in the sunglass holder, lol.

The more expensive Hyundai OEM Units. These are the best units I've seen. They have both 3M adhesive and metal brackets which hold them in place. They are a heavier grade of Lexan and they can be purchased thru the hyundaishop.com for $195.00 instead of the $250 that most Hyundai OEM Accessory Dealers sell them for.

The instructions are on the same page in a PDF. They are really simple to install, just follow the instructions that are provided. If you need any help just holler.

We have them installed on our Genesis G80 and they're very well built.

1: Got the Car

2: Pulled out the "AutoLink" to get into fuse box(pretty much a bluetooth OBD thing)

3: Wired in DashCam Power and ran the dashcams (front and read)


I don't have further pictures of the dashcam install, kept cutting my fingers on the seams of the car and got frustrated :p

Pedals and LED's should all arrive this week!
