Pics of my progression to a cleaner galant

[Sillyasianz]

First thanks to Triggermauve, who through the years have helped me build my car....

Well, If you know me, you know I've been through different styles with my car. Here is my new look. Body work will be coming next year. No more FiberGlass is my motto.

Yea, not a big motor guy:

The interior LED's are CRAZY! When I turn on the dome lights I can see all inside. I love it.

What do YOU think...

[AVERAGE]

Nice,man. Very nice. Not really big on the woodgrain but overall a very clean 8G 8)

[dknight3]

molded sides and wheels are great. #5 is beautiful.

[djflex167]

i love ur G man!! i wonder how do you like ur 6000k hid instead of 8000k? is it better at night?

[9G]

nice.

[G-spot]

best woodgrain interior evar 8)

[n3oAcid24]

nice woodgrain man. didnt really like the oval exhaust though. sexy ass 8G...

[SleekGTZ]

nice bro.
that NRG quickrelease seems interesting.

[IceDouTGaLanT]

it looks good man...throw some certains in that shit haha

[xglantv699]

Looks great!! I love white galants :D

[furiousgtz]

looks good any day time shot?

[Sillyasianz]

i love ur G man!! i wonder how do you like ur 6000k hid instead of 8000k? is it better at night?

I read 6k is ideal for rain, thats why I got it, others look good, but when it rains, 6k is best for visibility. At night, I LOVE IT. Since its 6k I dont draw too much attention to myself, cops think its OEM, since its a simple white and not some wild color. But I do have an extra set of 3k H3 Bulbs for my fogs for a IS300 look. :lol:


nice woodgrain man. didnt really like the oval exhaust though. sexy ass 8G...

Yea, I use to be into big mufflers. I had the apexi n1 turbo muffler angled. But with this muffler, its simple and clean, and when I slam the car again w/ coils, I can go lower w/o fear of scraping like before..


nice bro.
that NRG quickrelease seems interesting.

DO IT! Your my twin man. I have the hookup for them 8) I can get anything from NRG CHEAP.


it looks good man...throw some certains in that shit haha

LOL. Like I said in another topic, Im going for VIP Inspired. Some things are left for true VIP platforms. To show them respect and to get respect back :wink:


Looks great!! I love white galants :D

Amen.


looks good any day time shot?

I can, just did those shots last night after swapping new brembo rotors and steel braided lines. Once I did that and washed the G, I felt it was time to take pics...plus triggermauve asked for pictures. But I'd rather have my friends w/ bad ass cameras take the pics, so they can clean up any ugly parts of the car. My body work is good from far, but far from good :lol:

[XxGiRLaNT06xX]

Very hot!!

[Divinity]

I love that steering wheel!

[dronesurfboards]

damn i gotta play catchup with you!! you should do the interior black with the woodgrain and black seats and carpet...that would look SICK!! i need to go to autoillumination also...my led's keep blinking like a stobe light. GREAT WORK BRUDDA!!

[fatal1]

100% honest not really feeling the interior, the steering wheel and shifter are nice but dont match the oem...and as we all know the oem looks crappy, if you could change teh oem to match the steering wheel and shifter it will be much better... i would also add a boot to the center of teh shifter assembly so it covers the stock black rod...exterior is nice though cant wait to see teh rest of the conversion and your progress along the way

[Sleepervr-4]

Love your cars exterior but not feeling the wood grain. Just my opinion but hands down a very clean 8g.

My interior was black w/ black carpet. But I got bored of it. Tan is WAY harder to maintain. I like the classy look of OEM.

Yea, I know they dont. There is a steering wheel that matches made by a JDM company called Fabulous. But thats $400 plus shipping! I was thinking about the boot. I dont think I want to or can cut that shaft shorter, so I need to rigg something like that. For now I can stand the color difference of the woodgrain. When it really bugs me I'll find someway to make it flow better. Im not a fan of mickey mousing my car anymore. OEM is clean and has the VIP look I am going for...

Thanks. But hey, Ive been modifying my car so DAMN much that OEM is looking so good. Its been forever since I have had a full oem interior. Its like a new MOD to me. lol

[QnzMostWanted]

got any pics of how it was before?

[pinoyesv6]

i like the look you have going on.

[glantv699]

good stuff, keep it comin!

dealer frame around license plate = ugly aka not clean

And I first rolled on 17 inch momo wheels, then 18 inch Racing Hart st6s chromed.

[SkylineG1]

I like the clean look that you are going for but the woodgrain is just not me. Like the direction you're heading in though.

[4g63lover]

Im diggin the woodgrain. reminds me of the cars in the PI. woodgrain is everything there.

I like your car dre. It looks really clean and the oval muffler is a nice touch considering no one really rocks it.

[Sillyasianz]

So Albert aka racesnos came by my house today cause he wanted to get megan coilovers. I called my guy at megan and got the price. While I was there...I also got a set. lol.

Megan coils will be on and the car will be DUMPED.

[ShiZnitH]

Nice G 8) Love the way the wheels stick out ;)

[cdipier2]

its looking really good! i changed my woodgrain to the silver trim, it goes much better with the tan interior then the woodgrain

[ShiZnitH]

Hmm, im thinkin to go and buy that Galant badge on the side :) Where did u get it? Seems like many of the members here has it :?

[Sillyasianz]

Nice G 8) Love the way the wheels stick out ;)

Thanks. Just wait till I put the coilovers on. Imma slam it and camber it even more!
