Street Concepts is scheduled to release their new kit for the Hyundai Genesis Coupe at SEMA. Rather than slapping a turbo onto the car like RMR or HKS, Street Concepts only fitted the engine with a custom cold air intake and a Magnaflow exhaust. Why? According to the owner Shawn Williams, their goal was to "maximize the driving capabilities of the Genesis Coupe while striving for a level of practicality..."

Engine alterations aside, other tweaks and bolt-ons include a modified suspension, Brembo brakes, and 19-inch Volk wheels lined with performance tires. A black "streetfighter inspired" camo paint job is slapped onto the body along with tinted headlights and taillights, APR rear wing, and also a custom grill. For creature comforts, interior is fitted with a pair of Cobra seats with suede accents, an Infinity audio system, and carbon fiber trim.
