Employee's Dream Car Build: 2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe Transformation

Employee Surprise and Car's History

• 💡 Braiden, a new employee at Throttle, was surprised with a dream car build of his 2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe.
• 🚗 The Genesis Coupe was recently rear-ended shortly after Braiden purchased it, leaving it with dented panels and poor paint.
• 🛠️ The team at Throttle, along with SOS Customz and RSpec, collaborated to transform the car in just one week.

Initial Build Steps: Suspension and Brakes

• 🚀 The build began with installing ISR coilovers with adjustable dampers and camber plates for the suspension.
• 🛑 EBC Redstuff pads and new steel rotors were installed to upgrade the braking system.
• 💨 An ISR Performance GT single exit exhaust was fitted, noted for its aggressive sound.

Maintenance and Exterior Refreshes

• ⚙️ Basic maintenance was performed, including new spark plugs, ignition coils, and an oil change, as the previous ones were significantly worn.
• 💡 The car received new front and rear bumpers and Anzo LED tail lights to replace the damaged original parts.
• 🚗 The vehicle was then sent to SOS Customs for frame straightening and bodywork on the rear quarter panel damage.

Final Transformation and Reveal

• ✨ At RSpec, the Genesis Coupe was wrapped in a super gloss metallic midnight red vinyl.
• 🎨 The original carbon fiber hood was repaired and retained, complementing the new wrap.
• 🤩 Braiden was overwhelmed with emotion upon seeing the completed transformation, expressing his disbelief and gratitude.
• 🌟 The project aimed to give Braiden a respectable and visually appealing daily driver, marking a significant upgrade from its previous damaged state.
