HFP Hybrid anyone?

NYDR27 · 01-01-2008, 07:00 PM

Has anyone ever seen a hybrid with the hfp body kit added to it? I would be interested in seeing what it might look like. Anyone have any pics? Thanks.

GoHuskies · 01-01-2008, 07:20 PM

Like any other sedan with the kit?

Not sure if this is the kit but its a Euro hybrid:

NYDR27 · 01-01-2008, 07:24 PM

I mean with the hybrid wheels on. Just curious what it might look like with those 15'' wheels on.

Si_Sedan_Fan · 01-02-2008, 03:36 PM

Probably not very cool. Making a hybrid not look like a hybrid is cool though.

bengteck · 01-13-2008, 07:09 AM

Your curiosity cured

***divinebarrel*** · 01-13-2008, 04:30 PM

hybrid wheels should always be the first thing to go imo

**wing_gundam** · 01-14-2008, 08:44 AM

^ they do add to the fuel econ though...

I would be interested to see how much the wheels actually contribute. Generally when the wheels are replaced, the tires also are, and most likely for ones with more rolling resistance seeking better traction.

thought i had already posted a pic in this thread, weird.

Anyway here is my hybrid with the full HFP kit

Also i have some Enkei JS-M 17"s that are about to go on when the weather turns. I will update with how they affect my mileage. Although temperature may play alot into that too. However, i am not worried because the 15" hybrid wheels weigh 17lbs each and these 17" Enkei's are 15lbs each.

07Ex · 03-19-2008, 02:32 PM

^ Man, that's an awesome looking hybrid.

**Izzy** · 03-19-2008, 02:38 PM

That wing must go nuts on your fuel economy. Still, that's fairly hot...somehow the wheels go with it.

duk · 03-19-2008, 03:43 PM

the spoiler doesn't affect my fuel economy in the least

thanks for the comments guys!

brazilianguy · 03-19-2008, 03:48 PM

thats the hottest hybrid i've seen

tail lights need to go NOW!!!
but overall...sicc hybrid...

07Rredsi · 03-19-2008, 04:06 PM

I like it, looks good. The wheels may weigh the same but I heard that the design off the wheel is what also helps your fuel economy. Not 100% sure though.

duk · 03-19-2008, 04:15 PM

yeah a couple people have told me they dont like the tail lights, but in person i think they look awesome. So until i can find some really nice LED tail lights for the sedan i am sticking with these baby's.

Thanks so much for the comments guys, once the rims are on i will start a picture thread.

07Rredsi · 03-19-2008, 04:21 PM

forget a picture thread, make a build thread! Build Thread FTW!!

duk · 03-19-2008, 07:15 PM

I should have done a build thread when i first got the car, but now the only things left to do to it are put on my wheels and some interior LED's. Maybe some HID's.

07Rredsi · 03-19-2008, 07:24 PM

you can start it now!

duk · 03-19-2008, 07:51 PM

LOL you got me before i edited that post

here is my build thread, thanks for the idea RRedsi!
