  • TJIN Edition Hyundai Genesis Coupe

    With its searing green paint, custom front lip, trunk lid and spoiler from Unique Fabrication, the TJIN Edition Hyundai Genesis Coupe looks every part of a screaming street racer.

And unlike some offerings we're sure to see on the show floor, we're confident Bisimoto's handiwork will be able to stand up to more than just crawling along the...
