finally go my car last night, but had to work all day so lighting was bad by the time I got home tonight.

Thanks to Triggermauve for most of the parts, and sleeper for the rear bumper.

here she is finally with a fresh coat of glacier frost mica. hopefully I can get her washed and get some decent pictures.

BTW what do you guys think I should do with the grille, leave it silver or get it painted to match? I also have the Vogue front spoiler, but that's for summer.

Very nice! That color looks really good, nice choice and I like the cladding on the side ;) You could go either way with the grille, but you know a majority of the folks on here are probably going to say color match it lol.

i think your ride looks awesome.....just match the grill and it's done

with this clean approach it's as if you were trying to be modest but i think every line and mod on that car will be turning heads

depending on the lighting, I've noticed it could look silver, light grey, and bright white, then there's the pearl effect too.

I think the color matched grille would look cleaner too. If the silver grille doesnt grow on me, then I'll get it painted on thursday.

next on my list of mods is the black window trim and a light window tint. I am also looking into another set of wheels for summer use...preferrably one with a deep lip. so

So did I, but they're overly expensive for Enkeis... I won't say what I plan on getting long-term as to at least keep the outside appearance of my car unique, although very mild.

Keep up the good work!

thanks for the props guys. I made myself clean the garage at midnight in subzero windchills so I can park the car inside so as to not get hit by falling branches in my driveway.

BTW my friend keeps telling me I need to drop it some more, but my parking garage at work has pretty steep entrance/exit angles that I risk scraping the bumper. Does it look that bad? I think it looks fine. I think I just need to bring the rear wheels out a bit to be somewhat flush with the JDM fenders.

I'll put on the vogue lip spoiler tomorrow and snap some pictures.

I am also planning on getting rid of the coffee can muffler and getting something that looks OEM, but nice.

i just looked at the pics again... rewire the sidemarkers to go on w/ your parking lights. there is a super simple way to have them still work as signals w/ the parking lights on or off... but they will blink out of phase when the parking lights are on (work normal when parking lights are off). instead of wiring the + signal and ground to the marker, wire the markers to + signal and + parking. i know it sounds like it shouldn't work since there is no wire to ground, but the markers will find their own ground through the flasher module but will be off when there is no + or both wires are +.

Thanks. I researched and found a way to have the side markers stay on with parking lights and then blink IN PHASE with the turn signals and still just use a single filament bulb. WHen it is on as a sidemarker, it wont be at full power, but when it blniks it will go at full power.

the fender is oem. they just cut a hole in it for the sidemarkers.

sweet! does it work w/ led markers? i want to add markers but i don;t have any regular bulbs on the outside anymore (all bulbs are HID or LED) so i don't wanna use regular bulbs in my markers if i add them.

I think we are the only 2 galants with the Glacier Frost Mica paint. Only bad thing i would say about this color is that it is kinda hard to match when fixing damage. My car is actually going back to the shop next month to fix my cracked sideskirt. They told me that the fender, quarter panel, and sideskirt all need to be sprayed in order for the pearl to match correctly. Anyways...LOVE THE COLOR :D

I dont think it would work with LED because, it uses a resistor to decrease the output of the bulb in the OFF part of the cycle.

thanks.

you gotta do the headlights. lighting is just so awesome with projectors. I actually have another set of JDM headlights sitting in my garage because I am thinking of making another set in the spring. I want to do dual projoectors, one high, one low. gimme you email so I can forward you the wiring schematics for the sidemarkers.

that lip sits about 3 inches off the ground. Im pretty sure it wont clear the ramp at my parking garage at work. I only plan on using it occasionally.
