My dislikes; Wish it had LED projector headlights instead of reflectors. AWD or RWD instead of FWD. Memory seats and steering wheel. 3D top view HD parking cameras. Adaptive Cruz. Better turning radius. Heated and cooled seats. Rear A/C vents. iPhone key support. Now if it had all that and they made a AWD full electric N…. :D
I like the elantra n more. I have both kona and elantra sel models. The kona is awd and is great in snow. The elantra sel cruises at 80mph and gets 40-43mpg. I think for speed a bike is still the way to go, low initial cost, low maintenance, and way more fun in the corners.
Hey man, AMAZING additions to the Kona N. Im a huge fan of the new N models and hope to get a 2023 or 2024 model when details release on those. I'm in a red 2021 KIA Forte GT and it will be paid off by then. Hopefully get around a 20k trade in and put it towards one. Keep up the good work!
Hey mate, love your clip. We have on order a Kona N premium expected November. Interested where you obtained the N skirt decal , ours is white and would look good . Cheers
Congrats on the pickup! I got the N decal on ebay here: www.ebay.com/itm/334366225432 Also I heard SoCal Garage Works stocks them but aren't listed on the site. You might want to contact them to see if they have any more in stock (socalgarageworks.com/) Goodluck!
It looks perfect now. I would do the same mods on my VN, but I actually want to replace it with a KN. I still haven't spotted a KN on the road yet in California, must be very few.
Ah thanks! It’s been lowered since then i have a vid on the channel if you’re interested! Where in California are you? I know 4 others spread out in SoCal (in red ha) and 1 up north in red. But yes unless it’s at a meet, I rarely see VNs let alone N cars!
I reside in Tucson, AZ, which is a one-horse town: I had to drive 100 miles to Earnhardt Hyundai in North Scottsdale to buy my 2022 Sonic Bllue Kona N. I've owned the car for nearly 3 months now and have yet to see another Kona N, in ANY color, driving around town. In fact, I've made a couple of trips upstate and haven't seen another Kona N anywhere. They really are as rare as proverbial hen's teeth.
Hello my friend, nice video. I live in Wisonsin, USA. I don't think I can get those mad flaps here. Do you know if there is an online shop to buy them? Thanks!
They’re rally armor exclusive to Hyundai Canada dealerships. But, Jason at AutoValue Hyundai ships to the US (jasonh@autovaluehyundai.com) They’re 300 USD.

These are Rally Armor exclusive to Canada. There is a dealership in Canada that ships. The contact is: Jason @ Autovalue Hyundai (jasonh@autovaluehyundai.com) It's a bit pricey but they fit good.

Hello! For the window deflectors, I don't notice any reduced noise. Mostly on for styling and for function in the rain. Yes those N skirt decals are expensive! I wish Hyundai had more OEM N parts available in the US. A lot of the N performance parts I had to ship from places outside the US.
Hyperdip I used the gloss black finish! For the Rally Armor mudflaps, they're exclusive to Canada but there is a dealership delivers to the US, It's a bit pricy but the ones I got you can hit up Jason @ Autovalue Hyundai (jasonh@autovaluehyundai.com). Also, the UK company Rally Flapz have ones for the KN as well (www.rallyflapz.co.uk/)
@@CaliforniaKonaN I drove the i30n and was so amazed. I own a golf r but the i30n was like a car that just step out of the mental institute it wasn’t insanely good. Made my golf r feel dull and plain. And to be honest I didn’t notice any difference in straight line performance. But it’s irrelevant anyway if a car does around 6 seconds to 60 then that’s good enough for me. It’s the way it makes you feel. It’s emotionally car. The kona must also be unhinged 🤣 like the i30n. I love unhinged. 👍🏻
How is the fuel on this car in eco? Iam trying to convince my other half to get one. In england uk I am wondering what it’s like on fuel 35mpg is good for me. My golf r is not so good. Maybe the kona is thirsty.
@@sophiawoods6748 Ah thats amazing. We don't get the i30n in the states but hear its great! Yeah the KN is unhinged (torque steer everyone) but still engaging and fun as I'm sure with all the N cars. I haven't driven a Golf R but they've always seemed like amazing vehicles nonetheless and thats awesome you have one too!
@@sophiawoods6748 In eco the best i've gotten was 38mpg but I swear I can hit 40mpg on longer stretches. It just goes down cause i'll want to put it in N mode or hit the NGS button hah
Looks 👍! This video showcases how when done tastefully, just some simple, inexpensive aesthetic mods can go a long way. You planning on getting some black wheels or blacking those out? Already looks great, but 'I think' black wheels would be sick! But now we're talking a much bigger investment
Yeah! Thinking of powder coating the stock wheels black. I love the ones that come from Korea and European markets look much better as they come already in a black finish.
@@CaliforniaKonaN yeah, love those from Korea and overseas, black split Y style. I wish we got those... But yeah the next best thing would be black powder coat. Def will help complete the look
Haven't noticed any added or annoying road noise related to the mud flaps! In general the car is pretty noisy at high speeds hah but I've taken the KN on rocky and dirty roads and the mudflaps helped out a lot keeping dirt and rocks off.
just mask off the area so it creates a section you can peel off. The dip will stay dry on the badge and the edge so important to spray at multiple angles. The edge of the badge will create a crease for the excess that you can just remove and peel off.
@@CaliforniaKonaN The main reason we buy Hyundai/Kia for the unmatchable 100k warranty, I happen to own a sonata 2.4 still under warranty, so far so good. The notorious California's 2035 and 2045 zero-emission vehicle goals, forcing the EV to be the max ...👍
I would be afraid to boost these any past stock. 20 years as a tech with Toyota, moved to Hyundai as a shop foreman. Never seen so much junk in my life! 100k warranty or not, I would never spend money on either Hyundai or Kia.
@@nealstarling277 The best Hyundai for the money is the 2022 Elantra N-line. It offers similar features to the bigger and slightly more expensive cars in the lineup. It is also a class-leading vehicle in its segment, boasting some of the best technology and safety features at a starting price of under $33,000. Would I buy a brand new N-line , No way Jose 😳, let some else pay for the depreciation price first.,...
@@NEWNATURE777 Just my opinion. I see every car that comes in shop, as the foreman. I assure you, these cars are junk. We get 2-3 tow-ins daily, with popped engines. Not just the old 2.4, I have three 19 tucson's waiting on engines, that are not even available. Toyota had some oil ring issues, like most manufacturers, but not rod bearing failure. It's hard to believe. Before moving over to Hyundai, I thought they were getting better... they're not! New recall on 2.0l. Check knock signal, replace engine. I have nothing to gain, just speaking my (professional) opinion.
Love the mods! I have a couple questions. What type of dip did you use? It looks nice and shiny black which is exactly what I want to do with the H badges on my EN. And do you happen to know if the N side skirt decals fit the EN too?
Hey, thank you! For the Hyperdip I used the Piano Black dip. For the N side skirt decal this one is specific to the Kona N. I believe the ENs are a different size. I'm not sure if they have one out yet, but there might be someone maybe on the EN reddit forum. Also maybe search for i30n sedan or Avante cause it goes by those name in other markets. Goodluck!
Do you have gaps behind the side skirt stickers? I bought them from the link you had posted and they have the void behind the red and black stripe. Any issue with yours?
I'm not 100% sure. Im thinking it would if they are the clip in ones cause the body is very similar to the regular Kona. But a dealer will let you know for sure!
I think I ama have to buy mud flaps now cause I went down offset by 10, more dirt and rocks going on the sides of the car, and just try to make it stick out 😀just like the tire too. Yea, i am leaning towards mud flaps, they make this car look hawt asf, meh all hatchbacks in fact...
Looks clean dude 😎 I just got one in black! I was thinking about plasti-dipping the rear emblem and badge (they chrome) you think the red plastidip would look good?
Thanks man! Congrats on the pickup. I think the badges would look good in red on black. The best is you can take off if ya don’t like it too. Good luck! 👍🏾
hi there . i have searched everywhere for the side skirt decal infills and cant find them anywhere.please could i get more details.I am based in MELBORNE AUSTRALIA
I got them here: www.ebay.com/itm/334366225432 A bit pricy but there might be cheaper ones now. This is US eBay so not sure how it works in Australia. Goodluck!
@@milehighkonan593 I got mine on Amazon. The ones for the regular Kona and Kona N-Line fit. I got AUTOCLOVER brand for the 6-piece but they are just 3M attachments. Some nice ones that are in channel are these ones: scgarageworks.com/product/2018-kona-all-models-well-visors-set-of-4-pieces/ Goodluck!
Just some advice from a master diagnostic technician. Before settling on a car brand, find the employee parking lot for the dealership. See for yourself what the people that have to deal with the cars drive. Only 3 salespeople and 0 technicians/ parts drive Hyundais, and we get a deal if we buy one. Most everybody drives Toyotas. Says everything you need to know about your 100k warranty Hyundai. I'm not hating, just my opinion. Black out job looks good though.
10/10 for giving yourself credit before letting everyone know that being a "master diagnostic technician" means literally nothing. The last person I'd ever let touch my car is anyone at a dealership 🤣. Here talking about reliability yet drives a boosted fa20.. go lay your unsolicited opinion somewhere else.
@@gazoogarage Okay no problem. I can agree about the Fa20 being shit. I also appreciate your opinion. Time will tell the truth about your Hyundai. Good luck to you sir!
The white on the side skirt is the OEM N part from the factory. I kept the N badge on the front and back chrome. The OEM part doesn’t come in black for the side skirt but maybe someone will create a custom part or Hyundai might release other colors in the future!
@@steveturnbull9542 ah gotcha! I was thinking keeping the N in chrome just to stand out ha. They make black N badges that have the red and white in it. If I sprayed it all black it woulda made the whole N logo black.
The .25 spacers go on the logo side of the mudflap. So it goes: washer, bracket, mudflap, spacer (behind the mudflap) then the screw goes through all those parts and screws into the pop clips (that replace the factory yellow factory screw).
I've seen some spy shots online of the redesign, I think it looks sharp! I feel the engine specs for the N would remain the same but def exciting with the exterior updates and maybe some platform things the Elantra N have would be nice. Good luck with your next purchase if it is the Kona n!
@@CaliforniaKonaN thanks man! But Yeah same on the exterior! I want to see what interiors they come up with as well, a nice red/black seat combo would be sick
Is that blue tape regular painter's tape or automotive specific painter's tape? Just wondering if I can use my regular painter's tape like the one you use on your house walls.
Two things.. first, it'd have been so cool to see it after everything was done from a couple angles. Second, mud flaps are never cool. You must have been a Subaru guy huh? Lol
@@CaliforniaKonaN in all honesty do you love your Kona? I have an A91 supra with bolt ons and tune then a 19 ram for my daily. The ram is no fun. I've wanted an N car for months. I test drove a race red Kona N and loved it. But I can't decide which one I want! I like the Elantra inside. The Veloster looks fun. Both have a manual. But the Kona is probably best for a daily driver. I posted on the FB Kona group yesterday and got great input. What do you think? Would you buy Kona again? Or one of the other two? Thanks, btw I love everything you did . . except those flaps 😉 lol
@@andrewstevens7205 Ha all good! I would say this is my first N car but also first sort of performance oriented car so I have nothing to compare to. But that being said I do love it! In regards to the other current Ns all 3 are amazing but also varied so I would ask yourself which one best fits your needs and go with your gut from there. I personally love the KN styling more out of the bunch and it fits what I want / need in terms of a daily. So I would get the Kona N again, then Veloster and then Elantra. Also appreciate the feedback lol, hope you were able to catch my other vids in terms of mods which is another point. The VN and EN have more aftermarket so if you're looking to mod those might be better platforms to start. Good luck in your search and hope you do end up joining the N fam (before they all go EV ha)!
I just bought one and it’s my favorite car I’ve ever owned. I will be doing some of these mods. Thanks for the video.
That’s awesome congrats on the pickup! And I feel the same def my fav car I’ve owned! 🙌🏾

10/10 for giving yourself credit before letting everyone know that being a "master diagnostic technician" means literally nothing. The last person I'd ever let touch my car is anyone at a dealership 🤣. Here talking about reliability yet drives a boosted fa20.. go lay your unsolicited opinion somewhere else.
@@gazoogarage Okay no problem. I can agree about the Fa20 being shit. I also appreciate your opinion. Time will tell the truth about your Hyundai. Good luck to you sir!
First of all i would go on 21 Zoll. Then i would go on 245 Tires. And then maybe would do yours but first nice Tires
Yes! The Pzeros def need to be swapped.
@@CaliforniaKonaN Most people don't understand u need a great rim and nice tires and ur car is halfway done
Why black out the rear badges then put white ones on the side? I could have understood black ones.
The white on the side skirt is the OEM N part from the factory. I kept the N badge on the front and back chrome. The OEM part doesn’t come in black for the side skirt but maybe someone will create a custom part or Hyundai might release other colors in the future!
@@CaliforniaKonaN Sorry meant why didn't you spray them like the back badges
@@steveturnbull9542 ah gotcha! I was thinking keeping the N in chrome just to stand out ha. They make black N badges that have the red and white in it. If I sprayed it all black it woulda made the whole N logo black.
Como decimos aquí..."Aunque la mona se vista de seda mona se queda"
How did you install the rear ones? You didn’t show anything with the spacers etc smh
The .25 spacers go on the logo side of the mudflap. So it goes: washer, bracket, mudflap, spacer (behind the mudflap) then the screw goes through all those parts and screws into the pop clips (that replace the factory yellow factory screw).
@@CaliforniaKonaN awesome!!! Thank you bro! Just one question what are the pop clips? And do I have to remove the yellow things?
@@Molino-Red Yeah you gotta remove the factory clips which are the yellow things and use the pop clips in its place!
@@CaliforniaKonaN thank you I did it!
@@Molino-Red ah that’s awesome!
I’m tempted in trading in my 2019 Honda hybrid for a Kona N. BUT the 2023 iteration may just be a better version of todays.
Gorgeous car bro 🫡
I've seen some spy shots online of the redesign, I think it looks sharp! I feel the engine specs for the N would remain the same but def exciting with the exterior updates and maybe some platform things the Elantra N have would be nice.
Good luck with your next purchase if it is the Kona n!
@@CaliforniaKonaN thanks man! But Yeah same on the exterior! I want to see what interiors they come up with as well, a nice red/black seat combo would be sick
👍
The only mod for Kona....
It must be Electric!
Love the electric moving lab production N cars they showed off! Would be dope to see a Kona EV_N with whatever power the Ioniq 5N has ha!
Hyperdip better than Plastidip?
I never tried plastidip but dip your car guy on UA-cam said that hyperdip is a better and improved spray. It’s been great for me so far!
Is that blue tape regular painter's tape or automotive specific painter's tape?
Just wondering if I can use my regular painter's tape like the one you use on your house walls.
@@delasmoo Yup just regular painters masking tape.
@@CaliforniaKonaN OK, thanks!
Will you do a resonator delete?
Two things.. first, it'd have been so cool to see it after everything was done from a couple angles. Second, mud flaps are never cool. You must have been a Subaru guy huh? Lol
Ha fair enough! I think they look good for this body style personally.
@@CaliforniaKonaN in all honesty do you love your Kona? I have an A91 supra with bolt ons and tune then a 19 ram for my daily. The ram is no fun. I've wanted an N car for months. I test drove a race red Kona N and loved it. But I can't decide which one I want! I like the Elantra inside. The Veloster looks fun. Both have a manual. But the Kona is probably best for a daily driver. I posted on the FB Kona group yesterday and got great input. What do you think? Would you buy Kona again? Or one of the other two? Thanks, btw I love everything you did . . except those flaps 😉 lol
@@andrewstevens7205 Ha all good! I would say this is my first N car but also first sort of performance oriented car so I have nothing to compare to. But that being said I do love it! In regards to the other current Ns all 3 are amazing but also varied so I would ask yourself which one best fits your needs and go with your gut from there. I personally love the KN styling more out of the bunch and it fits what I want / need in terms of a daily. So I would get the Kona N again, then Veloster and then Elantra.
Also appreciate the feedback lol, hope you were able to catch my other vids in terms of mods which is another point. The VN and EN have more aftermarket so if you're looking to mod those might be better platforms to start.
Good luck in your search and hope you do end up joining the N fam (before they all go EV ha)!
Had one couldnt live with the awefull cheap plastiky interior.
Во наколхозил!!! Такой олень !
