[seth98esT]

Too many Mitsu stickers, they all should come off. Mod the grill and get some JDM or black housing headlights and it will flow much better.

[Eclipse97526]

yea i will get the grille and headlights when i can afford bolth ;) the hood and the suspension set me back a bit, and now i gotta get some nice rotors. tryin to find some evo front breaks. But cash is thin atm. All will change with time ;) I would be happy for now as far as taking the headlights apart. And painting the outer housing part black, and removing the amber out of the front. Any ideas of where i could find a walkthough on how to take apart the assembly ? its glued pretty good.

[Eclipse97526]

lol i got a big ass mitsu sticker on my back window too lol. I was thinkin of takin the back one off. I already took the chrome one off the windshield.

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p110/eclipse97526/07-28-07_1645.jpg

[n3oAcid24]

i agree with seth...

[Eclipse97526]

Would it look better removing all of them ?

[jessblazed]

i whould take all those stickers off and burn those tyc :lol: but that's just me other then that car looks good bro

[CHICAGO_ONE]

i have that same radio! You're the only person i know who has it, Good Job! 8)

[Eclipse97526]

its a nice deck, with the 34 burr brown chip ;) Well now im debating taking all my stickers off. And i dunno about burning the TYC's lol
I would trade them for a black set, but thats about it =p

[lnkn52]

yeah all of them

[Eclipse97526]

hrmm, they kinda add some charater to the car, i edited it on photo shop, and it dont look nearly as hot without the stickers... I dunno... I kinda thought about removing them a while ago. I just never got around to it. Maybe ill remove them =p

[Divinity]

Mmmm... H.A.M.

[Eclipse97526]

H.A.M. ???

[Eclipse97526]

H.A.M. ???

[9G]

Yeah all of them!

[Divinity]

Stickers = H.A.M. = Hot Ass Mess.

[Divinity]

But on another note, I like your rims.

[furiousgtz]

looks good.
take the decals and the tyc out and put the oem back on...

[Serstylz2]

Stickers FTL... color changing vinyl def FTL... hood and rims FTW... i dunno how i feel overall

[SkylineG1]

Stickers FTL... color changing vinyl def FTL... hood and rims FTW... i dunno how i feel overall

Well how about "overwhelmed"

[Divinity]

:lol:

I just noticed the color changing vinyl all over your car. You got a lot of colors going on there. Would you like a side of chicken with that rice?

[Eclipse97526]

LoL. Well i have had the car 3 years now, Thoes Mitsu Logos have been on there for over 2 years. I kinda like the color changing vynl. But i think i may re-do it in black. I think it would look cool. Lol . Whats FTL ? :P
So the stickers really make my ride that much of a mess ? I thought it still looked failry clean. Ill remove the pics tomarrow and post some more pictures. See if i cant clean it up a bit, make it flow more evenly. It used to go really well when i had a buncha chrome stuff, now im going down the route of black and carbon fiber. All the mods tend to crash when there all done at once, I would like to re-paint my ride, a 2 tone, with a carbon fiber roof and trunk. from the handles up . black on the top. Gold on the bottom.

[Divinity]

FTL = For the Loss = not a good thing.

IMO... uh, in my opinion... if you had less color, vinyl and stickers on the outside, and keep the vinyl to the inside... and do something about the remaining woodgrain if you feel like it....it would be alright. You got blue going on under the hood, purplish vinyl all over the damn place...outside door handles right? With the Mitsubishi stickers all over... you're turning your car into a Honda. I think one very small Mitsubishi logo could drive the point across that your car is indeed a Mitsubishi. All that you got going on there, is overkill. Good luck.

[unlimited6986]

Deff lose every vinyl on it

[Eclipse97526]

Sweet. Well i appreachiate the feedback, i was sittin there lookin at my car and i was like... Wow. The decals on the outside are just to damn much. I mean, they were ok when i was 20, but i just turned 24. and yea... Its time to have a more classy galant. I think the interior flows well, But all the decalls need to go. Ill post some pics tomarrow.

[frag_daddy_2007]

I mean, they were ok when i was 20, but i just turned 24.

I disagree, im 18 and i know better.

:P

[Serstylz2]

hah yea taste def does change.... clean is in, no stickers and the ride will be clean.. there's a buncha tan G's on here that you can get some motivation on TAN G'S POST UP AND HELP THIS MAN OUT!!

The best part is that getting your car lookin nice n clean means removing stuff, not really adding too much more, so you're not far from where you wanna be

[Kwikfox]

Let me ask you something... are you going for A. looks, B. performance, or C. balance of both? If you are going for options B. and C. do a 5 spd swap... IMO it is pointless to do anything performance wise on an automatic vehicle... mainly because you wont be able to completely enjoy your tuning.

[polishmafia]

there is so much happening all at once with this thing.

the mix of colors... i just cant find a way to like them.

gold car, cf hood, tinted heads, tezza tails, and multi colored door handles... sorry, i dont like it at all.

[99 galant]

i happen to like the stickers, and the handles are cool along with the same color in the interior

i really like the car, everyone will have their own opinions and i think you did a good job

[Serstylz2]

MODS: blue tint, blue guage lights, some black interior, underbody kit, painted calipers, and more to come


There ya have it.

[thebirdman13]

where's the pukey smiley when ya need it...stickersss off... all paint gone.... off handles and ionterior, vinyl gone... wheels, nice, hood, well ok i guess... all in all, take everyone's advice... but hey, it's yours and not mine (thank god)

[spdracr]

ok i got a tan one and here's what i think so hear me out or should i say read me out LOL

tan on black is a great combo, actually i think it's an awesome combo and u r going the right way with it, lose those multi-color vinyl and keep the outside with no sticker, buy urself a set of euro tails 2nd or 3rd generation Rapid Customs (http://www.rapidcustoms.com/url) has them for very decent price and i think it will flow much better than those TYC tails and u can sell those so u won't lose much money

as far as the interior goes, paint the gauge bezel tan and paint the wood grain parts black and any other stuff u think it would flow good with it

i think the blue looks good just under the hood not on the inside or the out cuz blue and tan is not a good combo (just my opinion)

let me know what u think about what i said

edit: i like the idea of 2 tone paint job along with crabon fiber trunk, we have a member here that has black roof and carbon fiber trunk and hood and the rest of the car is silver but PLEASE i beg u to lose the stickers

i wouldnt put them on mine, the only thing id do is a custom windsheild one for the front

[spdracr]

and that windshield visor strip replace with one of the plain black ones u can buy them on Decal Kits (http://decalkits.com/decalInformation.php?decal=2460url) u can get 2 12"X60" for $15 and it will look cleaner that's for sure

i think its kind of riced out of u ask me

but who am i to talk, i have eyelids made of electrical tape! :P

[mindwerkz]

Individually I like alot of that.... but all together it's a little much. Reminds me of an attractive older lady dripping with gaudy neon jewelry.

and gaudy purple eyeshadow.

[Eclipse97526]

thats the last thing i would do is get a sticker to make my tint look bigger, I had it gone over with some 15 % tint :) had my friend jason do it, cleaned up the stickers a bit... im tryin to think of way to paint my TYC's Black. I think then they would flow nice. But i changed my ride alot. I tore about 65 $ in Vynl off, And im going to add a small 3 inch Mistu logo over the rear break light, or where it was. There is a spot where the stereo wore threw the tint there. Im going to do it courtseys of The Galant Center Black on Silver emblem follow buy The Galant Center. And that will be the only sticker. aside from the performance parts stickers ill have near my passanger door, ill go take some pics, and let me know what ya think. Im going over the Doorhandles tomarrow with Black Vynl. the handles underneath are really fadded. Thats why i covered them. We will se how it looks in black.

[Divinity]

A roll call by your passenger side door? Don't you need a car that's magazine writeup quality in order for the roll call to be "acceptable" and not... well you know, the "R" word?
You really like stickers don't you? lol

[Eclipse97526]

Still hasnt been washed in a week, and it just rained outside, my ride is way dirty. I do miss the stickers. Im going to get 2 new ones in Black on silver. And redo my doorhandles in black. But here are some pictures of my ride as it sits now.

[frag_daddy_2007]

No stickers or ban!!
lol, i personally cant stand stickers. the most i have done it a decal for a local forum. t
that is the only vinyl you need on a car

[Divinity]

Well if you really like stickers... you should get one of those stick on sunroof decals, lol.

[Eclipse97526]

dont got a sunroof ;) But there is a spot where my subs vibrated my rear window tint threw the tinting, So im getting a The Galant Center Decall to cover this. Other than that, Im looking into getting some glass etching done. I would like the mitsu logos Sand Blasted into the side windows. I think it looks nice. everyones personal oponion is difrent ;) But i appreachiate everyones opinions, And ill definaty change a few things that were brought to my attention :) Thank you all for your feedback, please let me know what you think of what i have done with the ride so far ;) It can only change for the better . Im lookin to custom do my front bumber. And going to clear and paint my headlight housings tomarrow ;)

[Divinity]

I know you don't have a sunroof, get one ;)

[Eclipse97526]

Hahahah . Yea. Ill get right on that ;p lol I think ill just paint my roof in black till i can carbon fiber it ;) Once i get another ride thats not a mini van i can drive every day, and my car can go down for a few weeks. I think i wanna paint my car silver. i think that would look very clean.

[VegasMatt]

Id get some hoodpins on the hood asap if not its going to be kissing your windshield.

[Eclipse97526]

actually when i installed the hood, i modified the hood latch so it fit. Its a tight fight. But it locks down, and it wont come up for the life of it. its a perfect latch, But you think i should just get hood pins and remove the latch ? or use bolth ? I belive its a JDM Hood. It dont fit quite perfect.

[frag_daddy_2007]

use both, thats what most do.
i have seen and heard too many horror stories of the stock latch not holding and the hood busting into the windshield

[milo111000]

stick to one color buddy. just take a good look, that vinyl paint and your G color, they don't mix. and them stickers makes your G look like a race horse. take em off. this is for your own good.

[Eclipse97526]

already done. Im replacing a few with Black and gold emblem stickers. But im only having 1. it only takes 1 to be able to tell what kinda car it is. It looks nice,. but naked

[VegasMatt]

actually when i installed the hood, i modified the hood latch so it fit. Its a tight fight. But it locks down, and it wont come up for the life of it. its a perfect latch, quite perfect.

I've heard this BS before...talk to the people who said the same thing as you just typed when they had to replace their hood, windshield and have bodywork done. Good luck.

[dronesurfboards]

lose the off color door handles, lose the chameleon color interior pieces, definitely lose the stickers and the altezzas. The hood, i prefer the OEM carbon fiber hood, but it might be okay as long as you plan on putting a body kit or jdm conversion to flow with the evo style hood. Get hoodpins for that hood also...ive seen too many busted front windshields for you not spend 20 bucks on hoodpins. the door panels are okay, you did alright with those, but if it were me id go ahead and wrap the whole dash, seats and change the carpet and headliner to black. but whatever floats your boat. just as long as you wake up in the morning and see your car and dont puke, then its a good day.

[nyczvincexp]

wow every1 is soo critical. Do whatever makes you happy. Its your car. For my opinion i think it looks better without the stickers. Nice hood. I like JDM headlights more. other than that i think the car looks pretty nice.

[SLS2000]

pins!

:smt045

[fatal1]

yea bro i agre with everyone else you should definatelly get the pins, it can only make the hood more secure....keep the latch there also
