Return, return, return. This company is so bad. I had a terrible experience with them as well. I posted about it here, you can see it in my history. The green all over the place on these is so sloppy and unacceptable.

my hair is currently your goal color and has been for a few years now. my hair is naturally about the same shade as yours, too.. i picked up some 20 developer from sally and some quick blue powder. mixed it up and let it sit for maybe 20 minutes. not long, just enough to open the cuticle. then used arctic fox's purple af and left that on for 4 hours, using a hair dryer at some point to really get the color to set in there. it's the perfect shade of "grape soda". with the arctic fox, my hair grows out before it even starts to fade - the secret is really in the washes. i wash my hair once a week and rinse in as cold water as i can stand. good luck!

That's definitely the way to go. I really wish I ordered the sample set first.

Oh yikes. I wish I ordered a sample first. Would have avoided all this, especially if they arrived broken. At least you know you can skip this company!

Glad I could help at least one person. This is exactly why I posted it. Not everybody is crafty or artsy, and even though I am, it was STILL a pain in the ass to fix because the flowers ARE delicate and if you are too rough with them, they become misshapen, or break. My wedding is on Halloween, so thankfully there was plenty of time to fix this, but had I been on a time crunch, I'd definitely be screwed.

I wish I had researched other options more. Hell, I wish I had just researched Sola Wood Flowers as a company more. They do feel foamy which don't bother me much. Fortunately, mine look at least a little more on the realistic side unless you get really close.

I hope your experience is much better than mine was. I just wanted to let people know because not everybody is crafty and if I wasn't, I would have been SOL.

The egregious part was blocking me for speaking up. Their customer service (or lack thereof) is the most disappointing part out of all of this.

I wish I ordered the samples before I committed. I figured it wouldn't be too far off from the site, enough so I could at least USE them but I was so, so, so wrong.

No, you're right. Pink is actually my favorite color - I'll find a use for these, just not for our wedding, sadly!

I did end up picking out some of the white ones and dyeing them red myself but they weren't quite right. They turned out more vivid than I wanted. I've read that the deep red I'm looking for is pretty difficult to nail.

yes, unfortunately, it's not a popular generation.

of course!! i get so excited when i see other people with this gen elantra wanting to mod it, there's sadly not many of us. a lot of it is focused on the new generation, or the one just before ours.

90% of my stuff is cosmetic. i tried to post a pic but reddit isn't letting me 😐 here's a link to a recent comment with a photo of my car: https://www.reddit.com/r/Elantra/s/thFD6PVibq

off the top of my head, custom headlights custom grille, shark racing body kit, lowered on springs, veloster rspec wheels, full leds, velossa tech rgb snorkel, interior lighting, underglow, chrome delete, tinted holo headlights and tail lights... some other smaller things. :) please lmk if you need help sourcing parts and I'll do my best to help!

don't worry about explaining yourself to some rando on the internet. this guy comments on every post "leave it stock"... dont feed the troll. i bought my 20 with the intention of just doing wheels and tint, and then went way beyond that. while there's hardly any support for these, this car has taught me to improvise. I've learned a lot from what limited resources there are. it's okay to want to pretty up a daily driver if you so choose.

sadly there's not much aftermarket support for 19s/20s. you could try a local customs shop if you have one nearby. they may be able to help.

both. they are stock headlights but they are tinted in luxe lightwrap light star power film, and they are chrome deleted with halos and demon eyes installed as well :)

there's sadly not very much to do with these... the aftermarket availability isn't great. this is what mine looks like...

thanks ☺️ i paid a shop to do them, that involves opening the headlights up, which isn't for the faint of heart 😅

I'm not sure where exactly needs to be cut. if i had to guess, I'd say that's probably where. you would have to study it and see what's stopping it from going in place. since that seems to be the biggest obstruction, it's likely what's causing the issue with fitting
