All i have left to do, is clean up the interior, mount the HID ballasts, and the weather stripping around the doors. I drove it home tonight. Totally different than driving a lifted truck. I feel like I'm sitting on the ground. I missed the bounce. It's amazing what 2 weeks can do. lol

[IceDouTGaLanT]

car looks great, you did an awsome job man

[mrjaydeeone]

great job steve

[6G72T]

well boys and lady, i actually just wnted to get up some sun pics for you real quick. I didn't have time to really do a full detail like I did tonight. Oh the muffler is just the APEXi N1. I just ordered the Megan cat-back, so I'll be set with a fresh chrome muffler that fits. lol but yeah, finished up putting the moldings around the windows, mounted the HID ballasts, and gave it a final wash. Looks damn good in the garage.

Steve

[99 galant]

it looks real nice, i like it

who did it? a shop or a place like macco?

[6G72T]

um. i did the body work, i work at a body shop. and our painter did it.

[Kalamidad]

the two tone looks like great work man.

[dknight3]

shoulda got a jdm frontend before you painted it. :D

[Rqoz31]

Looks good! :smt023

[6G72T]

shoulda got a jdm frontend before you painted it. :D

why can't i do that with it painted?

[Serstylz2]

now before you wash it, repeat after me:

Microfiber

The Absorber

Not a single piece of cotton cloth better hit that paint.. best way to start disliking it is to have swirls all up in it. Aren't you gonna wait a few weeks before the first wash too? I waited 6

I'm not being stuck up or anything like that, I'm just letting you know that I knew that. I watch a lot of cars go out everyday at our shop and most get washed same day. No big deal. But yes, I also knew no cotton. :lol: Thanks though brotha

[2002BlackDragon]

Looks good man!!! Hell Yeah! 8)

[Serstylz2]

shibby, what's next?

[badmitsu]

looks good man!

[unlimited6986]

Looks great only thing i would change is the tails. To me just doesnt look right.

[lonestar22]

looks good, you should try blacking out 99-01 tails they look much nicer when blacked out

[DOHCstunr]

looks pretty damn good.

that muffler needs to come up a bit.

bout 3/4 inch

[IVORY_G]

Man those tails look sick! Now I really wanna get mine done. I Love it, the whole paint job is immaculate. I hope when I get my paint done it will look that good!
Just dont park at the grocery store... Otherwise you'll be tryin to tackle the shopping carts wheeling aimlessly towards your car like in that old VW commercial! LOL! :lol:

[dknight3]

shoulda got a jdm frontend before you painted it. :D

why can't i do that with it painted?
you can but its easier to do it first.

Which is exactly the reason why ill be waiting until late March/early April to paint my car. Aint no way in hell ima let my car go 6 weeks without washing it. Especially with all the road salt these mo fo's drop around here :x All you see is white clouds of salt dust trailing from the cars in front of you. Shit, i was rockin a two tone paint job up until a couple of days ago. :roll:

[RAZ_76]

I like it, looks great! Great 2 tone, better then purple and lime green..:lol:

[beam514]

looks good! anymore pics of your hood?

[6G72T]

looks good! anymore pics of your hood?

I can get you guys some. I'm just going to tell you all now that it was just an experiment and wasn't meant to be permanent. You can tell it was cut up. lol but it turned out better than I thought it would. I knew it wasn't going to be perfect.

Anyways, thanks for the comments everyone. I'm glad you all liked it or gave some comments on it. I'm happy with the way it turned out. Like I said before, it still has to be sanded, buffed and polished. So it will look a lot more amazing very soon. I promise.

As for the muffler, the body of it is already touching the rear curve of the bumper. It can't really come up any more. But I did order the Megan exhaust so all is good.

[djflex167]

i like it, it looks nice!!

[bronxbombr]

Wicked!

[2002BlackDragon]

Hey Steve, Where did you get your paint job done at? Looks like they do kick ass work! I need to get mine repainted because all of the paint is chipping off the car in large patches! Let me know!

[djflex167]

paint its unique on the G, you should get some JDM Tails and it will look crazy hot!

[6G72T]

i work at a body shop. i did all of the body work and prep work into/including wet sanding primer. then my painter painted it for a favor. It's a $450 job. Plus the $400.47 of OEM stuff I ordered. lol

As for the JDM tails, I would but I like the smooth black. plus I can't afford much right now. I'm trying to get a house with the fiance.

[2002BlackDragon]

If you dont mind me asking, where do you work? I trust you enough to do a good job on my G. I might be able to take my car to your shop for you to do the work.

[01galant01]

gotta give it 2 you on your taste, great choice of colors....some tints would definitely complement the car

[Predat-R]

another two tone, good job bro lovin the tails.

[6G72T]

yeah, I actually had my windows tinted, but I got pulled over 2x in 2 weeks for them. tickets both times. but I had them for a year and a half before that. lol whoda known? it was only 20% but now I'm just going to get 35%(legal on fronts) all around. I still have the rear windshield done in 5% so it's cool.
