I like the looks of the single bar better than the full mesh, so was toying with the idea of putting one on. Found a few at random parts sites for around $50-$60. Thanks! '03 GLS 4WD

Once I get that sorted, I'll look into upgrading the exterior. I like your front bumper, Dave. I assume that's something you bought aftermarket? '03 GLS 4WD

I originally got the sport bumper/spoiler but it doesnt fit with the grille I have (without cutting anyway) So..I still have a brand new sport bumper in the box....Oh dear!

On mine the rubber molding has shrunk and is beginning to rise up between the crack. Santa Fe -- It doesn't get any better than this! "Like people, every car possesses a unique character, with its own DNA, talents, and idiosyncrasies. Push it too hard and it'll turn on you, as a person would. If it's worth anything, it gets more interesting the more you get to know it."

On mine the rubber molding has shrunk and is beginning to rise up between the crack. Its still lying at the bodyshop where the arches were painted. I gave him the original shell so he could match the colour as he would then only need the Santy for fitting the arches and not for matching the paint. I forgot to get it back after the arches were fitted but he has put it in a safe place for me but i just haven't had the time to collect it though. I don't know if the rubber bit was on it but as soon as i can i will get it and check.
