Bonnet deflectors

[Beards]

Just old fashioned values I think.
My father came from a foreign land.

So did mine…. Scotland

There's the common gene then, our fathers were from somewhere else

It's good that we all like different stuff. Bonnet deflectors, HEKO Wind deflectors , side steps or running boards whatever you wanna call them, will never feature on my Tucson. The only external addition, other than the black tint over the rear window Hyundai badge, are some bigger mudflaps, and if they don't look right they won't be staying. Each to their own indeed.

"the black tint over the rear window Hyundai badge"
Interesting, any images?

I posted it some time back in a different thread as its the first thing i did when i got the car in 2021, but nevertheless here you go.

It's headlight tint film so you put on the outside. You cannot tell its film, even close up, as its extremely thin. You can still see the logo (difficult to see on the photo) as I didn't want it full blackout and it does match the rear window tint so doesn't look out of place

That looks great. Does the film come in a standard tint %?

It didn't have a %. It was a speculative purchase as it was £4.50 delivered, so if it wasn't right, no great loss. Fortunately it was fine. It even came with a squeegee.
30 x 100cm Dark Black Smoke Headlight Tinting Film from ebay. Been on over a year, not faded, no bubbles or distortion and it washes down ok.

Cool. I’ve ordered some. Thanks.

Thank you belatedly IngerzSH as I loved what you did and I got my done. I also toned down the bright red reflective strip towards the bottom of the bumper as I thought it too bright; and, hopefully as you can see from the photos, I got a slightly different shaped rear number plate to match the sloping shape of the reveal where the number plate sits. Before and after photos attached.

Stu, Looks factory from the pics and I really like what you've done.

How's about US badge layout? I'm thinking of Tucson badge on the left instead of Hyundai and hybrid badge (Lexus do an italic hybrid badge that is similar to the "Tucson" font style which would work) on the right hand side. You'll have noticed all the badging 'Hyundai,Tucson and Hybrid' are all different fonts and sizes. Not a great problem really but ...

Would make the back of your car even more bespoke, albeit subtle.
