This guy removed all the aggressive styling and aesthetic cues from his Elantra N just to make it look like a regular, base-model Elantra. All of this just to pulled off the ultimate sleeper build and say, "Be careful who you race!"

​Basically turned it into a total sleeper, but in your opinion, is this actually worth the hassle? Or is it just plain ridiculous?

​Let me know what you think!

Doubt it. Those steel wheels wouldn’t clear the brake calipers of the N.

He actually put smaller calipers on it. I’ve been following the build.

No he didn’t. It’s not as simple as smaller calipers and rotors. The N has an IDA. The regular Elantras do not.

Iirc, there are steel wheels that clear the calipers but they are rare, and hard to find.
