SEMA 2015 must be getting close with yet another Hyundai Tucson being customised this time by Rockstar Performance Garage (RPG).

With it’s black and yellow colour scheme, smoked-tinted rear tail lights, a custom LED light bar setup and custom off road bumpers the Hyundai Tucson is one slick looking off-roader.

The team from RPG have add some real off road cred by overhauling the Tucson from bumper to bumper. First off the team changed the suspension which mad the Tucson ride and additional 6-inches over stock ride height. Next up they added a set of 32-inch MTZ P3 tyres from Mickey Thompson, and a fully-custom, adjustable shocks and struts system from King Shocks

On the performance front they have added a high-flow Magnaflow exhaust and a new K&N intake and intercooler from Mishimoto.

“The focus behind this build was to create an off-roader that nobody expected,” said Nic Ashby, owner and general partner, Rockstar Performance Garage. “The Tucson was a great starting platform with its rigid frame and plenty of room in the engine bay for modifications. With the complete suspension overhaul and blacked-out appearance, this Tucson is guaranteed to be a head turner in line with the Rockstar lifestyle.”
