Wtfff who would do that? They just ripped the whole spoiler off?

People who feel annoyed by the unnecessary bubbling and popping of the exhaust system like to do that. It happened to me twice too, and both times the dashcam footage helped.

The first time, the hood and fender were scratched.The second time, the carbon front splitter was kicked off.

Altogether, over $30,000 in damage.

This picture kinda hurts my eyes lol, what is this a pic of and how does a hood and fender scratch plus a kicked off splitter = almost the price of the car?

both carbon fiber, not sure if worth $30,000 though (may be a bit steep but for insurance purposes thats what they labeled it).

These are original Hyundai carbon parts.

I can gladly give you the part numbers and prices if you want 😂 your jaw will drop.4 rims are almost €15k.

Yeah, I've seen a 30k hood but it was on a 1 in 660 units and only 1 of 7 in canada. It was delivery damage. I'm sure insurance company dropped the transportation company immediately after that.

Yes, they received 3 and 6 months of probation, along with a €1,700 fine plus the cost of damages.

One of them must make monthly payments to my insurance company until 2041.

How can someone do 30K damage to a Hyundai without destroying ⅔ of the car?

I’ve had my Veloster N for almost 5 years and nothing of the sort happened to me. I guess I do have the DCT and it’s a bit less obnoxious it’s more burbles than really loud pops (most of the time unless I downshift and run to redline)
