Got my new style grille and fogs this week. everything has gaps as you can see. planning to leave the G at the shop for new years and have them replace the radiator support to fit everyhing flush, probably going to get one piece JDM headlighs instead f my two piece.

Does anyone know if there is any other difference beside the front bumper bracket, on the radiator support between 99 ad 03 models galant???

wired up my fogs today. looks really mice, now i gotta get my choice of color bulbs and rock them.

Another question, for those who have HID in the JDM fogs. How did you install HID's??? It's either me or the HID are made asswards with the wires, there is no way i can keep the stock cover and have it sealed. From what i understand i eed to cut it a little. and besides that, the bulb itself will not sit in the socket, it's base is smaller and the metal piece dont reach it. Should have took pics.maybe later
