Hey everyone hows it goin. I am real new to this site and new to my galant. I have a 99 LS and i love it. Ive done some little stuff like tint the windows, cleared the corners and guages, and shaved my emblems (minus the mitsubishi sign). i plan on niteshading the taillights, window vents (im def looking for anywhere to get the rear window vent), cf hood, and rims. if anyone has any ideas or suggestions for little things i can do to start out that arent too expensive please let me know. if you also know of a site or place i can get some decent rims for not soo much money please let me know. i love the site and plan on being very involved, thanks everyone!


ill have pics and such very soon

glad to have you with us

8G forums are where you will want to look

enjoy the boards, and myself and many others are here to help you

My recommended site for wheels as you asked: Wheelmax.com (this has been discussed in the past so there are other suggestions floating around too)

Welcome to TGC

for the wheels I bought mine from
http://www.wheelguyz.com/shop/browse.asp?cat=feat ('http://www.wheelguyz.com/shop/browse.asp?cat=feat')
And they came pretty quick, balanced with tires.

chrome door handels will give the car a nice luxury look i got mine off ebay 25 shipped from hong kong... also chrome pillars will also give it a luxury look and chrome rims... since you want to keep a nice clean look and not the race look a lip kit would be best, and don't forget about a drop i have megan but i've heard good things about TIENs.... good luck with the modding and welcome....

Welcome to TGC man.

One of the best things you could do here is search...there's so much info in these threads, that we couldn't tell you everything...just take your time. Oh, looking at the member's pictures for ideas is a good plan too. Enjoy.

They will have to be modified to fit. Eric is a member on the site making custom USDM headlights if you are interested.

There is a group buy for the rear visors, check the GB forum for more info, I believe they have some extras, and they only come in black so you will have to paint them silver if you want that look.

The clean look + VIP look is what Im after and as for the Rican look. Let's erase that from our vocab so as to not offend fellow Rican GRyders. We'll replace it with The Ricer Look. :smilegrin:

Now

Your right no rice please.

Try
Wheelmax www.wheelmax.com and Victoria tires http://www.victoriatire.com/ ('http://www.victoriatire.com/') These people seem to have cheaper prices.

Good luck with your ride and post some pics when you can.
