Replying to: wamba2000 (Jan 21, 2008 2:39 pm) I bought my 2007 SE AWD in October. Roof racks with the cross rails were included

Replying to: wamba2000 (Jan 21, 2008 2:39 pm) I have a 2007 SE, but it also came with cross bars.

Replying to: pelican19 (Jan 19, 2008 7:38 pm) Thanks. I was honestly skeptical of them myself. I have seen some ads claiming 15-20 HP boost AND 2-3 MPG. Obviously with gas prices the way they are, the 2-3 MPG claim is tempting, though I am doubtful. But the 15-20 HP gain would have been sweet even if the gas mileage stayed the same. I tried a HyperTech Power Chip years back on my 89 Mustang 5.0L and did not notice squat then. But it was already pretty peppy so a small gain might go unnoticed. I was just curious more than serious. I'll stick with simple things like synthetic oil and the K&N air filter. I doubt that the chips would help much anyway even if they do work.

Replying to: wamba2000 (Jan 21, 2008 2:39 pm) Roof rack crossbars are indeed optional on the 2008 Santa Fe, while they were standard on the '07. I was in for service on my 07 Limited AWD recently, and was talking to my salesman about the differences between the 07 and 08 and that is one of the things he pointed out. I think he said that the crossbars cost around $200 from the dealer.
#381 of 446 Rear Turn Signal Replacement by cws05 Jan 28, 2008 (5:56 am)
Recently, my father in-law noticed (or rather DIDN'T notice) how difficult it was to see the 07 Santa Fe's red turn signals while following behind me, especially while I was braking. I've seen replacement clusters w/ the amber turn signals available at:   www.koreanautoimports.com   They offer both the Euro (clear lens + amber bulb) and a LED conversion (more $$$).   I was wondering if anyone has swapped out their original taillight clusters for either one of these and how difficult it was? Also, will this void any warranty?   With drivers already distracted by the myriad of things they shouldn't be doing while driving, I can "see" an increased potential for possible rear-end collisions happening with the current design.

Replying to: cws05 (Jan 28, 2008 5:56 am) It was very easy. Simply replaces existing housing. Clear w/ amber bulb...   A Replies to this message: cws05 (Jan 30, 2008 6:28 am)

Replying to: cws05 (Jan 28, 2008 5:56 am) This looks like a great mod. So does their bumper light kit - it replaces the stock "dead" red lenses in the rear bumper with lights that actually illuminate. Supposedly they can be set up as taillights, brake lights, or turn signals. When I inquired about them, though, they told me that they don't have any wiring instructions for them. Pretty retarded if you ask me. They went on to say that since there are no instructions provided, they recommend paying a professional to do the installation and wire splicing. I can only wonder how many sales they've lost because of this. They definitely lost mine.

Replying to: pelican19 (Jan 29, 2008 7:45 pm) Great, I'll be placing my order soon for the turn signals.   Any chance to get post a photo of the signal mod "in action"?   The bumper lights look like they have some potential as well, though having to snake the wires and splice into main housing may be more trouble than it's worth, especially without an installation guide.
#386 of 446 Additional Rear Suspension Support by curtamous Feb 02, 2008 (9:38 am)
Hey, I have an 07 SF Limited with a trailer hitch to connect my dirt bike carrier. With my bike on the back of the car it adds about 250 pounds. This makes the car squat and bottom out a bit.   I found a solution! I installed these hard rubber bushings between the springs of my rear coil springs. This gives it much better support and feels great without it too! The coil spring bushings were only $5 and it makes a world of difference.   I don't have a 3rd row seat but I can only imagine for those that do, if you load 1 or 2 adults back there the car must squat and bottom out at times.   Try these coil spring boosters... I bought them at Advanced Auto Parts.   To install, just jack up each back tire separately and force these rubber bushings between the coils!
