Ok, to quit everybody argueing over what is coming out, and obviously some people don't believe me because they talked to somebody that worked at Hyundai, or they know somebody that works there. I am a parts manager at a Hyundai dealership, and if I could scan the page of Hyundai's newletter for 4th qtr 2003, I would, but here is the article word for word.

From: "Counter Culture" Parts Newletter 4th Qtr 2003

"In the Fast Lane with H.A.R.D. Parts"

Hyundai Motor America has teamed with a distributor to put aftermarket performance parts and accessories on its dealers' parts department's shelves beginning next quarter.

H.A.R.D. Parts, based in Huntington Beach, California, is engineering and procuring the parts from other suppliers, subjecting all parts to durability, quality and fit-and-finish testing. Among the 32 available products are Eibach springs, MSD ignition systems and BSC supercharger and turbo kits.

Ordering is just as easy as with regular Hyundai parts. Dealerships may access H.A.R.D Parts' products through a link on the DCS Online Catalog.

Advertising support materials, including a performance-parts brochure and point-of-purchase displays, will be available soon. Watch for these items, and rev up your sales with performance parts!
-------------------------------------------------------

This is straight from a newsletter issued by Hyundai that goes straight to the parts manager at each dealership. I received it January 2nd. This should hopefully clear up most arguments about what is coming out, as this is straight from Hyundai.

ok your job now.. since you work for a hynudai dealership.. is find out as much as you can
i know dealerships dont knwo alot cause many people dont care but you seem to and your help would be much appreciated

[C-DUBYA]

Yup it's all true. In march Hyundai USA will get parts for the Tiburon, Santa Fe, Accent and Elantra. Hyundai Canada will then do a cost effectiveness study on their program and bring it here...about 6 months after the states. I work for the Hyundai dealer in Saskatoon so i can give you a for sure. H.A.R.D- Hyundai Accessory Racing Development. they will also have bumper covers (i'm not sure about body kits), superchargers, lowering springs and a few other accessories.

Numbers!!!!!
Anything!!!!

[ColeIketani]

they may not have the numbers yet Nisco, or they're not allowed to release them yet.

[nisco]

allowed.. ok i can understand if they dun have em... but the thing is hyundai has been monitering nt.com of awhile now.. and that site alone will be most of the revinue they get from these aftermarket parts.....
i hope they dont over price anything.... cause they are trying to compete with other aftermarket conpanies... and keep customers...
i hope the numbers... which if they have i dont know why the y wouldnt be allowed to release them... but yeah i dont think they have any numbers....
but i know what theyre coming out with.. i jus want numbers....
ahhhhhhhhhhhhh so much on my mind.... but nothing to do with my car
have a good night guys

[C-DUBYA]

Hey as soon as i have numbers they will be posted...

[zx4000]

Today i'll check all this info's about what you guys want to know through direct call to Hyundai headquarter.

[nisco]

thanks alot lets get some info and get rid of these rumors

[zx4000]

Today, I contacted the authority, Mr.park General Manager who is concerned to production of Tuscani in main factory. He said they had not any plan about that while saying only small cooperation companys produce these performace parts for aftermarket and talked with authority related to Abroad Marketing. He also said same way.
But i thought also about the possibility that they were able to intend to keep secret. So, I made a thread in second big auto forum in korea to hear some story leaking. This korea auto site is so popular one which i get some info' somtimes. But there were no reply until now. There is the last one place to need check for this fact. Please wait a little more , Because i work in day time.

[nisco]

thank you very much for your investigative time
we all appreciate it

[zx4000]

I did my best for your doubt. The last check point turned out to be opposite to what we want. I am sorry to bring a negative feedback. The last check point was Hyunday Mobis, which manage all stock parts and repair.The concered person also said same. Additionally, I searched for Hyundai official news from July.03 to current. But there were not even any hint. Unfortunatly it's regret that we don't have right to influence on the result. so it might as well wait than argue. Talking with all these concerned people to Hyundai, I tried to explain the interest is getting biger and biger for perfomance parts of aftermarket at full length. They also permitted this situation. Okay, if there were any news, i'll tell you guys.

[nisco]

yeah hyundai knows of teh growing interest....
and released info of H.A.R.D.
at SEMA in vegas....
so its coming... people are saying march
so hoefully they will release it and there should be a huge deal about it
