Melissa Poole purchased one of the first 2013 Hyundai Velosters (turbo) when it came to the market. Initially, she wasn't too fond of the vehicle, but says it has since grown on her every time she sees it or takes it for a drive. Poole says she's transformed her Veloster into something unique, and particularly enjoys its bold style. Some of her modifications now include a HKS blow off valve, a carbon fiber ark-style spoiler and a custom shift boot. Poole says she's close to finishing her project, with new wheels being installed shorty, and is also considering a tune, as well as upgraded parts like coilovers, tires, brakes and rotors.
