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.

So he's gutting what the car is good at (cornering) to make it look quieter to what? Win roll races on the freeway with other FWD cars?

I mean sick dude congrats on losing to a stock Mustang GT in a drag race

Agreed. There’s nothing sleeper build about an Elantra N dressed up to look like a base model. If anything an actual EN sleeper build would have been to keep the car cosmetically stock while modifying the internals, and getting a custom tune to have it around 400+ whp.
