JDM! JDM! JDM!

I love JDM, but a lot of Galants on these forums are gaga over some JDM's so I kept mine USDM with a little JDM flavor.

[GaLaNt_03]

how much do u think it would cost?

[4g63lover]

how much do u think it would cost?

eh, wouldnt be able to tell ya. you'll have to shop around ebay for parts. or shop around here.

[zobgel]

JDM's is not cheap and they are hard to find.

first thing to do....
1. cleared corners (headlights) you can do it by ur self
2. shaved emblems
3. rims
4. Drop it!
5. exhaust

COSIGNED!!!

[jhendra83]

Here's my .02

Engine:
NGK/Bosch platinum Spark Plugs - If you had V6 G.
NGK Wires
Injen Short Intake ($160)
OBX headers ($???) NEO SAYS IT's CRAP!
HKS universal Muffler (expensive around $350)
Tint (follow your state legal or do it your own risk!)

Exterior:
JDM 3rd or 2nd Gen taillights ($100-$150)
JDM Headlights (two beams!) ($100-$150)
JDM Grille ($50)
EGR Visor ($75)
GTZ spoiler/or if you want EVO wing will look sick! Some member have them ($??)

Suspension:
KYB shocks with either Megan or Tein drop (I'm saving for Megan Damper myself lol) ($350 for the set or $800 for the coilovers)

I lived 17 years in where all Galants are JDMs so I'd personally stay stock w/ the USDM style :D. If I were you, I'd drop it first. Go with Tein/Megan springs and some KYB shocks (AGX) (we're talking approx $350-$400 here). Second, get a set of 17 or 18 wheels (cost is entirely up to you. How much are you willing to spend for a set of wheels?). Third, get an intake system such injen or AEM or CAI if you prefer (about $150). Then, tint your windows if you haven't already done so. Finally get some 4" muffler...then you'd have one of the sickest G around... :twisted:

[GaLaNt_03]

Let me ask you this. What is your full total budget amount you want to spend on your car?

[GaLaNt_03]

the less possible...i have college shit to pay so i cant put all my money into my car...cuz if i do im goin to be backed up on payin for college...so yeaa....the less possible the better....

[jhendra83]

Just do as time goes along. If you think you can afford for something, then go for it. Only buy something you think you can afford it. If not then don't push yourself. Some of us can't have it all at the same time, but some others can...lol wish I can. I pay out-of-state tuition and shyt cost me almost $20,000/year. Can't do a lot of shyt on my car, too....but yea I feel ya.

well if u want really cheap window tint, pick up a few rolls of it and buy the video of doing it your self with the supplies, then just litterally do it your self

[zobgel]

not a good idea if youre first time to do that even if you have the installation video. tinting widows is not easy specialy you don't have experience about tints.

i will let the professional shop to do it for me so you save more bucks :wink:

[jhendra83]

The wheels on my sig here VVVV...those the wheels I'm planning to get! :twisted:

[TederickR]

I agree with zobgel and jhendra83. Dude just take your time, and just don't buy something because its cheap. If its a good deal, and the product has good quality, go for it. But if its cheap, and its made cheap, then don't waste your time, and money. Might need it for gas, or food. Just start small, just remember, new products are always comming out, so If you don't get something this time, Chances are something else will come. But yeah, I let a professional do the tint. Its more technique and patience than it seems. Hey, start off with a Stereo and some speakers.

search for clear coners in the tutorial section
remove the emblems from the back
cut up the grille horizontal fins, install some gutter mesh from behind ( home depot), sand it all nice, prime it and paint it black. Mitsu dealer will sell you a 00 eclipse gt strut (body brace) bar for under 60 if you shop around. Lucas tranny fluid will help the tranny. Paint your calipers your favorate color with high heat paint. Install a starter kill switch. Look up Getto mat in the search (again Home depot) cheap money and last but not least


Get to work. :D

[GaLaNt_03]

i dont need to cut the grille...its a 2003 it doesnt have the bar in the middle....and y would iu need a kill switch?

[GaLaNt_03]

[QnzMostWanted]

take ur time and look for good deals, dont try to rush it

[SLS2000]

Unless you already paid for an alarm, the kill switch is the next (cheapest) way to keep your car from getting jacked.

Well

Now that you provided the amount of money available.
Alarm
Rims
Body kit
Tint window

Good luck again.

[zobgel]

ok i have $2,440 to spend on my car....can u tell me wat i can do to make it look better....
