    Had an accident

    Hi,
    my sister had an accident with my parent's 1994 Galant on the 30th of December. The other guy pulled out onto the road without looking, and my sister hit him and destroyed the front of the bodykit on my parents' Galant. The other guy admitted liability, etc, so that's ok.

    We now need a new bodykit, but I don't know much about Mitsubishis, as I drive a Honda.

    Has anyone seen a bodykit that looks similar to the following two pictures?
    No offense, but I really don't like the look of the stock 1994 Galants, I love the previous model (which we owned) and the newer model though.
    So the bodykit would have to totally hide the front like our old one.






    Thanks.

    never seen that front bumper before. where are you from? the only USDM body kit that is produced is the Erebuni Shogun kit

    as for JDM kits(your car looks to be from the lights and the plates), i am not for sure...i know there are more than 1 though

    [Edit]

    Heres a few JDM kits. none really cover up the whole front like your old one did

    The previous owners had the kit put on, so we have no idea what type it was.

    Yes, it's a JDM car.

    Thanks.

    Never seen that one either :shock:

    Looks like a brush gaurd on the front there, I hardly recognized it as a 7g. The site that Seth posted is pretty much it as far as JDM kits go.. those are all from the Phillipines.
    But hey, if you find that kit anywhere, PLEASE let me know

    brush guards are available for the 7 and 8g galants. both models were available in hatchback or wagon versions and many had aftermarket brush guards for off raoding i guess. gotta do something with that awd...

    I've taken some pictures of the damage, i don't know if it's repairable or not. It doesn't really look too bad.

    It is repairable. Only downside is that since it was finished (painted and clear coated) you would have to strip most of it off to do the repair. If you aren't doing it yourself than a shop will bend you over on labor costs.

    If Maz passes on buying it, PM me.

    sells the bottom half of the bumper on their site. I have sent them an inquiry about the brush guard. I will pass word along once I get a response.

    I just wanted to post a followup to all of this.

    The panel beaters fixed the kit and it looks as good as new.
    I asked my parents to ring the previous owners and ask the name of the kit for the guys in here who liked it. My parents rang the car yard, they bought it from (and also the previous owners bought it from there) and the car had the kit when it came into the country, which means it's Japanese.

    They didn't know the name of it, but hopefully knowing it came from Japan will help the guys who wanted the kit.

    I have seen that front before when I went to the Philippines. It looks tight but too much like the new Nissan Frontier in a way.
