My 2003 Galant V6

[kidlatV6]

After almost 4 yrs of being a member here at TGC, with all the help this forum has given (I hope I helped some too), I think its only right that I post some of the pics of my car here before anywhere else.
Enough of the drama! :o
Here's some key infos I want to share;
1. The front lip of the car is the VRG lip which I modified to fit an '03 usdm bumper.
2. The sideskirts were homemade(DIY) by me. Hard to find a stock pair, so I decided to custom my own!:)
3. Audio system were also custom installed by me including wiring, molding and upholstery in the trunk. Saved a lot!
4. HID 6000k with PIAA Ion crystal fogs
5. Rims are Volk Racing GT-V 19x8 with Toyo T1R 235/35R19
Here's my car! Feel free to leave comments or questions if you have any. More photos when I post on cardomain. Thanks.

im impressed a lot of nice work going on there and the engine bay is clean
sideskirts came out great as well as the lip, only thing i would personally do to finish it off is add a lip or something to the rear bumper, if you had the talent to make your own sides from scratch im sure you could do somethuing there also

looks great tho keep it up

[mitsueclipse2019]

very nice!!! i like the trunk :D

[lonestar22]

im really diggin the front lip. i cant think of anything to make it better!
what all went into making that lip fit?

[pvu_rida]

sweet trunk

[4g63lover]

that ish is clean!!! I like the headlight squirters. functional?? pretty awesome! the lips is pretty slick too! I like the trunk also!

[S-Line]

Can I just say that car is amazing!! Its unique from just the lil things that you have done w/ it...and I am completely impessed. To use the vr-g lip on the stock bumper is a great idea.....and will probably start a whole new trend. The car itself is clean as hell from the engine to the trunk. Awsome car bro and I look forward to some more pics for my collection.

[kidlatV6]

Thanks!

lonestar22- re the lip, I just cut at both ends extend using fiber glass & plastic pieces; securing those then bodyfill and sand, sand , sand to smoothen.

fatal1- I will be starting the rear lip soon. I just trying to look for a place to buy it. Although, it's alot cheaper to do it by myself, the time it takes is th enemy.

[glantv699]

great lookin G

nice work man

[NZGALANTBOY]

im speechless, thats about the nicest work done to the engine i have seen, so RED and clean A+

[IceDouTGaLanT]

wow very creative!!! i love the vr-g lip on the stock

[galant305]

nice , very nice , the lip looks awesome,

[Reelax]

nice wheels!

[Serstylz2]

Wow man... wow.. you have definitely been reading all of the posts and taking notes, that engine bay is something amazing.. I wish mine was the same... congrats on a great completion

[kidlatV6]

Thank you for all the positive comments! By the time MOD '07 comes, I wish I have my JDM heads already cause my mom is supposed to visit from the Phil on May. Hopefully, I would've done the lip too.

Thanks again!

"Reelax--nice wheels" --- Thanks man! You got some nice rims too!

Just to entice people to go DIY.--- the total cost of my sideskirts, both sides is only a little over $80.00. Did it on a Sat, Sunday and halfday Monday. In short, 2.5 days. It's not that hard. If you're local I could even help you(1 week notice).

Very nice work, your car looks great! 8)

[laxinwarrior]

Car looks awesome man, great fiberglassing skills.

I guess you're one of the newbs that did his homework and searched before asking questions. :P

[G-spot]

Could you write a tutorial on the side skirts?

[XxGiRLaNT06xX]

WOW! Definetly worth the wait! 8) Very clean!! :D

Thats really nice looks sick... How did you do the side skirts?

[lonestar22]

you could make a lot of money off of us by selling those sideskirts and bumpers w/ lip

[n3oAcid24]

looks good man... real good.

[kidlatV6]

Thats really nice looks sick... How did you do the side skirts?

---- I used the stock mudguard like piece in the front as my baseline then used as little fiberglass as possible (so it won't get heavy)in the shaft of the skirts with resin of course. but making sure its gonna be tough enough if you accidentally hit a curb. Next is sanding then application of bodyfiller, as thin as possible to prevent cracking in the future. Sanding again and filling, sanding until you get the look that you want.
Basically, the procedure is just like any other fiberglass project. Sounds simple and it is. The only thing is PATIENCE.
I hope this helps. :)
* I don't know if this will help but to me it did. I used the Evercoat fiberglass resin instead of the Bondo brand. Its a lot more expensive but Evercoat is more forgiving than Bondo.*

You did a nice job on that car!

[GoldGalant [Reborn]]

Man your car looks great come do my trunk :D

[kidlatV6]

"]Man your car looks great come do my trunk :D[/quote]

Thanks!

If you do a search;
1. I shared somethings here on how to install the CF trunk without the making too much mod. I got no Dremel during that time, so I was force to find a different way. It's easier and makes the CF trunk sit better.
2. I was also the one who shared the info on the plate trim of a Honda Civic will cover that long empty space above the plate on an 8G CF trunk. It only cost $20 at any Honda dealership. I just wrapped mine in CF too.

Hope this will help you!

Just the fact that you did all this is amazing. Excellent work on the side skirts & front bumper lip. Those wheels are too sick, and that engine bay is hella clean.

[kidlatV6]

Maraming salamat po! Thank you very much in English! I just installed a pair of racing seats which I had a shop reupholster first to much the interior, so it won't appear too flashy but still look nice. I'll post some pics soon coz the brackets that I made, made the seats sit too low. :wink:

[99 galant]

very nice, i like the custom lip and sides and the trunk too

[Ivory8g]

clean as hell! For real you could make a lot of money if you made only a few lips and a few side skirts in your free time

*tries to convince him to do it* :twisted: name your price muahaha......... Like who hasnt tried already

[Fresh_617]

[OMEGA PHX]
