Summary

The 2008 Hyundai Tiburon is a modern shape with acceptable rear-seat legroom. The first upgrade is new headlights with Spyder Auto LEDs, which are better at night and eliminate glare from oncoming cars. The second upgrade is an EGR body kit that comes in two variations for front or rear bumpers.

2008 Hyundai Tiburon

The 2008 Hyundai Tiburon is a modern shape; it steers and handles like a true performance coupe. Like its cousin, the Elantra Touring (which looks more like an Elantra GT hatchback), this is no ragtop MX-5: it's fairly big inside, with acceptable rear-seat legroom, even for full-sized adults. It rides well on smooth roads, but when you hit potholes or sharp bumps in the road, occupants will notice them - but it's not overly rough either. Gas mileage was good for us as we managed to get an average of 21 mpg during our test drives - not bad considering edgy driving with more than one aggressive acceleration from a stop! A few minor complaints include less than stellar sound quality from small speakers and weak acoustics overall, especially at highway speeds; a taut ride that gets bouncy over ripples in the road: also slowest acceleration among our group of featherweight speedsters, clocking almost 8 seconds from 0-60 mph which rivals most 5-liter V8 sport sedans defeating most rival compact coupes costing $10k+ more ... so why buy an econobox sports coupe?

The 2008 Hyundai Tiburon is a sporty front-wheel-drive coupe powered by a 2.7-liter V6 engine with 167 hp and 181 lb-ft of torque, offering fuel economy estimates of 16/30 mpg city/highway. This is one hot-looking coupe that has a great performance from its powerful V6 engine, making it one of the fastest sedans in the segment for a reasonable price.

Best Replacement Parts for your 2008 Hyundai Tiburon

The first thing we recommend is a new set of headlights. Considering the 2008 Hyundai Tiburon does not come with projector lenses, upgrading them to Spyder Auto's LED lights will give your car much better visibility during night drives and eliminate glare from oncoming traffic. The second upgrade we recommend is EGR body kits that come in both front bumper and rear bumper variations. They'll add an aggressive look to your Tiburon right off the bat while also giving it that fierce aura whenever you're driving around town. Last but not least is Sparco racing seats. They give your ride an aerodynamic flair while also offering the driver/passenger a better grip during cornering and a much more rigid, supportive feel to them in terms of support and comfort!

How to improve the performance of the 2008 Hyundai Tiburon?

To improve the performance of the 2008 Hyundai Tiburon, Genesis Tuners recommends replacing a few parts. First, install aftermarket air intake systems from AEM. The intakes will allow more air to flow into your engine, which results in an increase of horsepower throughout all RPM ranges. Next, nitrous oxide systems from Nitrous Express can be added for additional power and quicker gear changes! Lastly, replace your rotors with StopTechs L56 Brake Kit or one of their other available kits since the factory ones are very weak and only have two pistons per wheel.
