Hey brother I just purchased my new 2020 Veloster premium edition and plan on doing similar mods like yours. Thanks so much for your videos that helped me make my mind up that Hyundai was the way to go!

[@Chayness]

Glad I could be of help! I'm sure you will love your Second Gen!

[@Blackhorse11773]

Chayness Thank you I love it already! I traded in my 2011 Tacoma trd Sport for this car and got $16k for it. It had 69k on the odometer so I felt the time was right to get the most out of it 👍 I have researched the Veloster and watching videos like yours for about a year to make my choice and again thanks for your time making videos to inspire people to appreciate the Veloster as it is the “Hot Hatch” to buy.also I’ll make a video of it soon.

[@Chayness]

@@Blackhorse11773 I'm glad to hear that!

[@TheParacosmCafe]

Sweet !ike your vids bro

[@Chayness]

Thanks bro! I appreciate it!

[@toneepatterson150]

Thanks for all your help I have 2016 Veloster Turbo clean low mileage still has warranty on it. The pervious owner mod the hole car but it has a spoiler the devil wings and the paint is cracking and peeling what should be my next step replace it or vinyl wrap it?

[@Chayness]

Vinyl wrap may be easier unless you end up doing something like Plasti dip

[@paulacelest]

Hey I have a question I just got one exact same as yours why does it flap around after I tightened it ? How can I get the hook itself to stay down like yours ?

[@Chayness]

Thats odd. The hook should be quite heavy to the point it shouldnt flap around. I'd check how tight the bolt holding the hook portion is or make sure yours isn't made of anything else besides some sort of metal.

[@blinker760]

Where did you got the tailhook I want one for the front of my car

[@Chayness]

SoCal Garage Works. Check them out online!

[@patrickeddy.]

Hey dude, love ur car! Im thinking of getting a VT as well but had some questions regarding dependability, maintenance, and issues if any that you've had while owning this car. Thanks!

[@Chayness]

Hey bro! So I bought mine new and I haven't had any issues of yet. From others, it is suggested to buy a 2014 model or newer if buying used due to the fact that thats when they changed and fixed a few issues they had on previous models. 2016 is the year they did a few revisions as well like the newer gauge cluster. 2017+ has Android Auto/Apple Car play stock but can be gotten on older models with TECH Package only. Maintenance is similar to other cars but a proper cleaning will be needed down the line (100K miles) due to the nature of the GDi engine. This is pretty standard but many install and Oil Catch Can (which i'm currently working on) to help prevent a bit of the gunk that gets into these cars. Hope some of this helps?

[@gaminggenie8339]

@@Chayness bought a 2019 Veloster Turbo ultimate this video helped Tx.. I just like the design lol.

[@fgonzalez6972]

For the turn signal LEDs, are those canbus LEDs to prevent hyperflashing? I bought some regular leds for my VT but they started hyperflashing.

[@Chayness]

You need to install a resistor kit to prevent the hyperflashing

[@fgonzalez6972]

Chayness is that for all four led turn signal bulbs? Because i found that DDM tuning sells error free amber led turn signal bulbs for our cars. Did you install resistors on all 4 corners and was it difficult?

[@Chayness]

@@fgonzalez6972 Thats new. I didn't install load resistors. The hyper flashing didn't really bug me. But not that you brought it up, imma go buy some new bulbs and share the info. Thanks!

[@uzi69jmillz15]

Can you please provide the link to purchase the same tow hook and the lights?? I have been scammed twice for the tow hooks on eBay 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@Chayness]

Tow Hook: scgarageworks.com/product/veloster-veloster-turbo-front-tow-hooks/ For turn signals, I recently upgraded to these which fix the hyperflash issue as they have built in resistors: www.ebay.com/itm/3000-LUMEN-Error-Free-1156-BA15S-4014-SMD-Amber-LED-Turn-Signal-Blinker-Bulbs/173561842457?hash=item2869178b19:g:WSoAAOSwSiVbrsDM:sc:ShippingMethodStandard!92026!US!-1 As for the hatch light. Look up "6418 LED" on your favorite place to shop (Amazon, Ebay) and choose your favorite!

[@Luisxchin1]

Do you know if any LEDs for the DRL that are simple plug and go and match the accent strip light?

[@Chayness]

Sadly, most LED bulbs are brighter than the stock accent strip and most are in the 6000K color scheme which is a "cool white" so you're going to have a very hard time finding one that matches both color AND brightness. To make matters worst, unless you buy an LED Headlight bulb set up, you're basically going to be sacrificing your High Beam lights by buying a simple cheap plug & play set of LEDs as it will be fine for DRLs but won't be able to emit a bright enough light to use them as high beams. You're basically stuck buying at least a decent set at about $50 or more.

[@Luisxchin1]

Thanks for the info appreciate it. Great work on the videos can’t wait to see what other veloster mods you do

[@Chayness]

Thanks man. Well I finally installed the Oil Catch Can and next weeks video is an intake finally so hope you like it

[@danielparedes6405]

Would the tow hook fit on the elantra turbo 2018?

[@Chayness]

I would assume it's the same thread size but I can't confirm, sorry

[@ctrl4969]

Where did you get those blue bulbs from on ur headlights

[@Chayness]

I got them off Amazon. They are Philips Diamond Vision H7 Bulbs

[@ctrl4969]

thanks so much :)

[@JesusSoto-tz9vr]

How can i i get that tow hook?

[@Chayness]

I ordered mine from SoCal Garage Works.

[@giovannic1821]

you have model number for the front turn signal led's you installed -- i like how you cant see yellow when they off in the day but cant seem to find them in the DDM Tuning web sight --thanks

[@Chayness]

ddmtuning.com/Products/1156-27x2835 these are it but they have a wider selection. Just make sure to look up 1156 bulbs in AMBER

[@giovannic1821]

thanks for the fast reply bro -- keep up the good work with the videos really like them, lots of good info...

[@Chayness]

Thanks bro! Really appreciate it!

[@HollowSensei]

Chayness do they hyper blink?

[@Chayness]

They do. There are some bulbs with built in resistors but they're quite expensive.

[@brendoncampbell3910]

Do the tow hooks come with bolt and ring? Or just the ring?

[@Chayness]

The tow hook comes complete like in the video. Already assembled with the right size bolt and ring. I have to express that the bolt is made to FIT our cars. Lots of ebay ones will not fit our car.

[@gideonhamstra18]

@@Chayness ya i just bought a tow strap for my 2013 veloster turbo and it wasnt even close to fitting. do you think i could find a right size bolt at a local hardwear store or should i buy a different tow hook all together?

[@Chayness]

@@gideonhamstra18 The bolt itself is pretty large. I personally have never seen one at a hardware store. You can certainly try but not sure how successful you'll be.

[@TheEcho4hax]

Are those Front Turn Signal's Hyperflashing? Didn't put resistors right?

[@Chayness]

Correct. In one of the earlier videos I had already installed rear LED turn signals and mentioned that it will cause hyperflashing. I have the resistors but i'm holding off on installing them until I do something else that requires removing the front bumper as well (the headlights need to be removed in order to install the resistors in the front to prevent this.)

[@TheEcho4hax]

Chayness damn i wanted to do such. But dont wanna do the hassle of installing the resistors. Thought the led as described is canbus canceller and will prevent the hyperflashing

[@Chayness]

Yea I looked into that myself lol. And I have yet to find bulbs with a built in resistor. even worst, replacing the flasher relay doesn't work so for now it HAS to be resistors.

[@TheEcho4hax]

Chayness damn prolly have to live with hyperflashing for now. Anyways thank you. Nice simple DIY's also i think you dont have to pull out the bumper for you the reach the oem harness well no work space but i believe youll be able to do it. Diagram is on the net. Becarefull with the headlight clips too!! Haha

[@Chayness]

I'll look into it. My fat hands make some simple tasks harder haha but I have something I need to install real soon that requires taking off the bumper so I might just look into doing it then. Stay tuned! :)

[@chrissmith8984]

What's the bulb size?

[@Chayness]

1156

[@kickingitwithtimmyb]

will your tow hook work for a 2017 elantra asking for a friend lol?????????

[@Chayness]

It should be the same thread so i'd say yes lol

[@kickingitwithtimmyb]

@@Chayness suberb. much appreciated!

[@Chayness]

@@kickingitwithtimmyb Thank you!

[@kenq160]

how much are those leds?

[@Chayness]

The turn signals ended up being a bit more than $30 for a pair and the interior LED's were about $8 each only because of the brightness levels. You can find some cheaper that aren't as bright and you can also buy more expensive ones that will be brighter (for the turn signals in this case).

[@kenq160]

How about your h7 bulbs? are you still using nokya or the philips diamond vision 5000k?

[@Chayness]

I'm currently using the Philips Diamond Vision bulbs. The Nokya's were $11 from Amazon.... the Phillips sell for $36 for a 2 pack, BUT if you buy them individual from Amazon, they're about $13 each, making them $26 for a pair. Saves you $10 bucks!

[@kenq160]

thanks for the reply! I'll be getting that Phillips since they ship locally in Nevada. BTW im learning a lot from your videos. Keep it up!

[@Chayness]

Thanks bro! I appreciate it! Send me some pics of your bulbs when you're done. I'd love to see it!

[@orsono4076]

Can they steali it?

[@Chayness]

If someone wanted to, yes. This would easily be stolen.

[@nick_vash]

Dude! What about safety measures if you're got involved in an accident with a pedestrian? Would your insurance company be happy? I think it's not wise to have the hook attached to the car constantly.....

[@Chayness]

I'd be more concerned with an individuals driving habits if you're hitting someone. This tow hook barely extends maybe an inch past the front bumper.... I'd say a lip spoiler will probably go further out so if you're planning on adding one of those.... I have some bad news for you
